- Define the key moments and the use of the photos (keepsakes, communication).
- Compare portfolios on events similar to yours.
- Check the quote: length, delivery times, usage rights, travel.
- Provide a schedule and a list of people or moments not to be missed.
- Warn guests and mention venue constraints (light, access).
Start by clarifying the goal: keepsakes for guests, communication for a company, content for social media? Note the duration, the venue, the number of guests and the moments not to be missed (arrival, speeches, awards, cocktail, group portraits).
- The portfolio: look for events close to yours (estate, company, reception).
- The style: discreet reportage, posed images, bright atmosphere or more contrasted.
- Discretion and responsiveness: a good event photographer fades into the background while capturing the moment.
- The contractual framework: length of coverage, delivery times, usage rights, travel costs.
- Quote transparency: what is included, what is optional.
- How long is the coverage included, and what happens if the event runs over?
- How many retouched photos will be delivered, within what time, and in what form?
- Are the usage rights (commercial use, duration) specified?
- How are the photos shared (private gallery, download)?
Give the photographer the schedule (times, places, highlights), the list of key people and a contact on site. If possible, arrange a venue visit to anticipate light, access and constraints. Let your guests know that a photographer is present.
Our Events service is aimed at estates, companies and receptions, with packages from €420 ≈ $460 and retouched photos delivered in 3 to 10 working days depending on the package, in a private gallery. For a wedding, also discover Lumen, our AI photobooth.
Before the event, the photographer arrives early to scout the venue and the light. During it, they follow the key moments of your programme (welcome, speeches, awards, cocktail) and plan time for group portraits. Afterwards, they sort and retouch the images before delivering them in an online gallery. The more precise your schedule, the more complete the coverage.
- Choosing on price alone without comparing what is included.
- Not providing the schedule: the photographer discovers the highlights at the last minute.
- Forgetting to name an on-site contact for access and the unexpected.
- Not planning group portraits: they need a dedicated moment.
Let your guests know that a photographer is present. If the photos are used for your communication, make sure the people who can be recognised agree to this use, for example through a notice at the entrance or a written authorisation.
