EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY FAQ

How much does a corporate event photographer cost in San Francisco?

My corporate event photography is $325 per hour with a 2-hour minimum ($650). A Long Day (up to 10 hours) is $3,150, which saves $100 versus paying hourly. A second photographer is $250 per hour, and 24-hour rush delivery is a flat $500. Every booking includes 200–400 professionally edited images per full day (fewer for shorter bookings) and an unlimited-use commercial license.

What types of corporate events do you photograph?

I photograph conferences, summits, trade shows, product launches, award ceremonies, galas, holiday parties, team off-sites, and networking events. If your company is gathering people together, I can document it.

Do you photograph Dreamforce satellite events and other major San Francisco conferences?

Yes. I regularly photograph satellite events, side conferences, and branded activations that run alongside Dreamforce, RSA, GDC, and other major San Francisco conferences. I know the venues, the pace, and what event organizers need.

How quickly will we receive our event photos?

Standard delivery is 3 business days after your event. If you need photos the next day — for a press release, social post, or sponsor recap — 24-hour rush delivery is available for a flat $500 add-on.

Can we use the photos for marketing, and can our sponsors use them?

Yes. Every booking includes an unlimited-use commercial license. Your organization and your sponsors can use the photos on websites, social media, press releases, recap decks, and print materials — with no expiration and no per-use fees. Just credit the photographer when possible.

Are you insured, and can you provide a COI for our venue?

Yes. I carry $1M general liability insurance and can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming your venue or company as additional insured, usually within one business day.
