Corporate Event Photographer serving Kansas City, and beyond.
EVENT
PHOTOGRAPHY
There’s no doubt your event will be a success.
You work for months to ensure that this one night of the year goes off without a hitch. You pore over the details, checking and rechecking your list to make sure nothing has been forgotten. You’re constantly thinking five steps ahead to guarantee that every little thing is perfect.
And it will be, because you’ve thought of everything.
But what about after the event?
Promoting next year’s gala, growing your members, selling sponsorships – those things all fall under your umbrella, too. And they’re not easy tasks.
Especially when you don’t have the right visual resources to do your job as well as you’d like.
Your job is to throw a fabulous event. Ours is to give you the photos you need to market it.

How many photos will we get from my event?
For event coverage, we typically deliver 40–100 fully edited images per hour of coverage, depending on the run of show for your event. For multi-day conferences, images are organized by session or timeline (e.g., morning, afternoon, evening).
Do we own the photos?
You will receive full usage rights for marketing, social media, internal communications, and promotional materials. We retain the copyright to the work, but you are fully licensed to use the photos to support your mission.
