A worthwhile event needs a good event photographer

The value of an event photographer

When organising an event, be it a music festival, business launch, conference or even an awards ceremony – capturing the moments as memories requires the perfect photos. Hello event photography! How many times have you tried to take photos with your phone camera only to discover when you scan through them later that you are stuck with unflattering, awkward pics? These can be fun for a laugh, sure, but will you show them to someone else, frame them or put them on social media or your business website? Probably not.

Budgeting for an event photographer

When organising a business event, budgeting for an event photographer is not a luxury, it’s a valuable marketing tool. People are visual creatures, and this is why Instagram, TikTok and YouTube channels are so popular. Business events serve as a platform to showcase your company. It could be anything from a year-end function to a small charity event. These events are all testimonies to what your company stands for, what you do and how you operate as a team. Your photos help promote your business while attracting and retaining clients. The more superior your photos, the more powerful your message.
