Living Cities Reconnecting With The Community - Corporate Event Photographer

“Capturing your business and culture in action” has always been my philosophy when photographing corporate events. Having your event photographed by a professional event photographer, whether it be a conference or a small event, is just as important as sending a professional email. These photos show your business and its vital team members in their element. My images can be leveraged in vital marketing materials, social media posts, and internal documents.

Hiring a Professional Event Photographer to photograph your NYC event is a crucial part of your marketing, advertising, recruiting, and social media strategy.

I have been a New York City event and conferences photographer for over fifteen years, working with businesses and clients of all types. Seeing the diverse ways my photos are used is always exciting. My images are most often used to recruit talent, to sell products and services, advertise a reoccurring event, or just to reminisce the good times.

Disney Night Before Christmas NYC Activation Event

Saturday we were hired to photograph Disney’s celebration of “Christmas in July” featuring the Night Before Christmas. The event was an activation with merchandise, characters, live music, and non-alcoholic drinks. As NYC Event Photographers we photograph a wide array of events from store openings and activations promoting brand awareness to more formal conferences and galas/fundraisers.

Hire a professional NYC event photographer who knows and understands the type of photos you are looking for. Great photos show your guests engaged. Great photos make great marketing and advertising content.

Prior photographing the event, I requested a “shot list” from the client detailing the type of images they were looking for and what specifically we should photograph besides the usual. Event photographers are not always tasked with just photographing posed and candid photos of people. Often we are responsible for photographing the room setup, which will be used for future reference, photos of product, and photos of special VIPs with certain guests or board members. As a professional photographer, I know the types of questions to ask before I even arrive.

What makes the best Professional NYC Event Photographer the best is their experience!

Having photographed hundreds of events throughout New York City and beyond, I know what and when I need to photograph. I always arrive early to capture setup photos, as not to get guests / staff in my shots, and to make sure I am ready to go at event start time.

On today’s shoot, I wanted to show off the production team’s attention to detail in the set’s design and the location of the event. I photographed a ton of setup photos and tried as much as possible to feature New York City in each shot. For a photo looking down at the event, I went to the top floor of a nearby building.

Nadine and Emily's Joint NYC Birthday Party

As an Event Photographer it is my job to photograph happy moments!

As a NYC Event Photographer, I photograph all different types of events from Corporate Events to fundraisers and galas to family parties and birthday parties. Saturday night, I photographed the joint birthday party of two sisters at Elsie Rooftop in Midtown Manhattan, not too far from Times Square.

the list of NYC birthday party venues is endless. picking the perfect space for a birthday party is hard. Sometimes it’s even harder finding a space that will allow a birthday party photographer.

The sisters booked a private space with an outdoor patio at Elsie Rooftop. Unfortunately, we couldn’t fully utilize the rooftop patio throughout the party as the weather did not cooperate. However, we were able to photograph several photos of each girl outside on the patio before the rain and the party started. Elsie Rooftop had great food, music, and an atmosphere everyone could enjoy. For me, as an event photographer, I was able to easily move around and photograph guests without bumping in to people.

Birthday party photographers should photograph posed group photos, candid moments, and everything in between.

The sisters hired me to not only photograph their birthday party, but also to photograph a mini-session of them before their party. As a NYC Birthday Party photographer, I don’t only just photograph the party. I also photograph the details of the party, their guests having a good time, and the birthday person(s). Prior the party, I photographed each sister outside and indoors with some easy poses.

Trisha's Long Island Bridal Shower

You can’t stop a Long Island Bridal Shower Party.

Before the COVID-19 epidemic Trisha was supposed to get married to Adam, and I was supposed to photograph her bridal shower. However, as we all now know, that did not happen and nor did Trisha’s wedding. So, 16 months later, Trisha finally had her bridal shower and I finally got to be her bridal shower photographer.

An event photographer should capture every detail and every moment no matter how small. These little details help tell the story of your event.

As a Bridal Party photographer or even as an engagement party photographer my goal is to capture the story of the moment. For Trisha’s Long Island bridal shower party, her mom went all out with the details, decorations, and games. I made sure to photograph every detail and every moment. From the New Orleans Mardi Gras theme denoting the couples New Orleans ties where they attended and met at at Tulane University to the bride’s Indian background I made sure to photograph it.

Whether on Long Island or in NYC, a Bridal Shower requires the same must have “ingredients”.

Trisha’s friends and family all attended her bridal shower at the North Hills Country Club in Manhasset, NY on Long Island. When photographing her party I made sure to get posed and candid photos of both Trisha, and her guests.

Location: North Hills Country Club in Manhasset

Central Park Picnic - Kraft Center

There is no doubt about it that the post-COVID world is here. NYC is alive and Central Park, New York City’s backyard, is open for business. The Columbia-Barnard Hillel welcomed back current and former students with a Sunday brunch, setup by Perfect Picnic NYC, which was perfectly executed with blankets, lunch, pillows, and drinks. For some of the staff and guests they had not seen one another in 15 months.

Central park nyc event photography

Photographing a picnic in the park really made New York City feel alive once again. Guests were hugging one another, sitting closely together, laughing, and finally not wearing masks. I loved photographing open facial expressions, laughter, and all of the visual emotions that make a photograph memorable. As a NYC event photographer it felt great to openly be doing what I love doing, capturing great photos.
