Venue & event space photographer
Rooms that sell
Most venue photos are a decade old, or somebody's phone. I photograph the rooms in the configurations you sell, the entrance a client walks through, and the light at the hour your events happen.

Before you ask
Worth reading first: what to ask before you book, and how many photographs to expect.
Empty, and in use
I photograph events too, so I know how a room looks full as well as empty. A planner needs to see both, the space itself and what their night will feel like in it.
What they're for
Sales decks, the site, listings, the RFP response, social.
Scheduled around your calendar
Empty rooms photograph best, and I work the gaps between your bookings.
Questions I get
Do we have to close the space for a day?
No. Empty rooms photograph best, and I work the gaps between your bookings.
How long does it take?
Half a day for a single venue. Longer for a larger property, or when you want both day and evening light.
Do you photograph the space empty or in use?
Both, and they sell differently. Empty shows a planner the room; in use shows them what their event will feel like.
Can we put people from the photos in our ads?
You're hiring me for the photographs. The people in them still own their own faces. For the everyday uses, the recap, your social posts, the newsletter, the press, your own walls, a sign at the door saying photography is happening is the normal practice. If you want a specific person on a billboard, a mailer or a paid ad, that person has to agree to it in writing. That part sits with you as the client, the same as it would with any photographer, and it's worth deciding before the shoot so we can plan those frames.
More questions: all of them in one place.
