Forgetting something?
A photographer! I recommend photography coverage every time my team and I book a company party. Keep reading to see three benefits to hiring a professional photographer and why I believe they’re a must have at your upcoming company holiday party.
Styling Help
When you hire a professional photographer, you also tap into their other areas of expertise. Many photographers today offer styling services and can help you design the perfect party space.
This can be incredibly beneficial if you’re looking for help making sure everything at your holiday party from the decorations to the lighting, looks picture-perfect, without having to put in all the work yourself.
Stress Relief
They’ll do many small tasks and stress over a lot of the little things, so that you don’t have to.
A true pro will be able to help you navigate your timeline, as well as help handle unexpected diversions.
And because the camera doesn’t lie, good photogs want everything to line up perfectly.
That’s why, in addition to keeping everyone on schedule, setting up shots, and managing any unexpected difficulties that may arise during the party, they also help you and all the revelers stay happy and enjoy the moment.
They Don’t Miss The Special Moments
An experienced reception and events photographer will be able to anticipate the special moments and capture them perfectly as they happen.
Your pro will understand where they need to be for every shot and will make sure you get all the images you want. Essentially, they’ll always be in the right spot at the right time. The re-creation is never the same. Either you get it or you don’t. An expert events photographer will make sure to get it.
When the dance floor is open, the music gets cranked up and the party kicks into high gear a professional photographer will be ready to capture the celebration.
Remember to Book Content Creation, Too
A traditional photographer should be just one piece of your photo and video plan. The images that they get will be usable for marketing, team building and other uses once they come back from the editor, but if you want behind-the-scenes raw footage that you and your team can share right away, you need a content creator.
This new type of photographer provides high-energy same day content out of the memorable moments and captures the social media gold that can garner relatable impressions on potential clients for your small business.
While traditional photogs take pictures with a powerful large-bodied pro-level camera (or cameras) to deliver high quality and timeless images, BTS photogs use a smart phone to create media that can be delivered quickly and uploaded within hours, not weeks.
Essentially, it’s a batch of raw photos and videos people can get their hands on right away so they can speedily share pics and flics of their special get together or celebratory dinner. No more waiting for the traditional photos that have to be processed, edited, uploaded or printed. You can still get those of course, but now you can get some shareable goodies to share while the memories of the gathering are still fresh.
And Videography
If you need a short highlight reel of your holiday party you’ll also want to hire a videographer. Las Vegas is a fun town with lots of action and excitement and that goes for holiday parties too. If you’re renting out a super-cool penthouse suite and expect the pool table (or the swimming pool?) to have plenty of visitors, the dance floor to be packed and the energy to be high, then get it on video! A professional videographer will weave their way around the venue capturing all the best stuff. After the event they’ll cut it together and throw in some music and wrap it all up with a bow.
