Getting better event photos

I work with tons of companies who need corporate event photography. My contacts are the folks in charge of event photographer procurement - usually meeting and event planners, communications managers, or marketing directors.

I wanted to share a quick list of how to be sure your photographer gives you exactly what you need on the day of the event!

Way ahead of the event
Ask your photographer to do a walkthrough with you - they will be able to share insight into space setup and lighting - which directly affects their abilities to provide professional images. (Because you don't want photos to turn out like this.)

Days ahead of the event​
Provide your photographer with a shot list - it can be as broad or as specific as you like. Plus, if you let the photographer know how the images will be used (website? social media? print materials?) it will help them capture what you need.

After the event
Like their photos? Is this an annual event? I bet if you ask them to hold the calendar date for the next year, they will. :) Easier to ask now than scramble trying to find a new photographer at the last minute.

Happy Friday!
