Event Photography for Corporate and Special Events in Seattle and Bellevue
Corporate Event Photography in Seattle and Bellevue — Conferences, Galas, Kickoffs & More
Whether it’s a company all-hands, a fundraising gala, a sales kickoff, or a product launch, great event photography does two things: it captures the energy in the room and gives your organization lasting collateral for social media, internal communications, and supporter outreach.
I focus on what matters most at every event — the key moments, the human interactions, the brand details you worked hard to create. Before every event, we’ll connect to align on priorities, VIP coverage needs, and any must-capture moments, so nothing gets missed.
With over 30 years in high tech — including senior roles at Microsoft and Nutanix — I understand the corporate environment and know how to work efficiently in it without being disruptive.

Pricing
Event photography is priced by consecutive hours of coverage. Every event is different — scope, VIP requirements, and special details all factor in. Reach out for a quick quote: call or text (425) 445-0719 or send an email and we’ll have a brief consultation before your event to lock in details and deliverables.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of corporate events do you photograph? All-hands meetings, sales kickoffs, conferences, hackathons, galas, fundraisers, morale events, guest speaker series, award ceremonies, and product launches. If your company or organization is gathering, I can cover it.
Do you serve areas outside of Bellevue and Seattle? Yes — I’m based in Sammamish and regularly cover events throughout the Greater Seattle area including Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Bothell, Mercer Island, Everett, and Seattle. I also travel for larger engagements.
How is event photography priced? Pricing is based on consecutive hours of coverage. Most events are quoted after a brief consultation to understand scope, timing, and any special requirements. Contact me for a fast, no-pressure quote.
Do you offer video coverage in addition to photography? Yes — multi-camera video recording, speaker summaries, and attendee interviews are available as an add-on or standalone service.
What is the Photo Kiosk and how is it different from a photo booth? The Photo Kiosk uses professional studio lighting and full-resolution camera equipment — significantly higher quality than a standard photo booth. It handles groups up to 12, uploads directly to a live gallery for instant sharing, and can be branded for your company or sponsors.
How far in advance should I book? As early as possible for large events, particularly if you want the Photo Kiosk. For most corporate events, a few weeks of lead time is sufficient. Same-week bookings are sometimes possible — just reach out.
