EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY

 

 

my approach


you need a photographer that takes chaos in stride


One thing my previous career taught me was to prepare like lives depended on it - because they did. I take the same approach to preparing for and photographing your event as I did with responding to disasters around the world. That might sound extreme, but you need a professional that is ready to be adaptable and problem solve, not someone who adds stress to your day. When we work together, you can expect collaboration, clear and frequent communication, an adaptable, focused approach, and a teammate you actually want to be around.


I strive to produce my best work possible every time I grab my camera, whether it be at concerts, rodeo, a training exercise, or a community event. When you look at my images, I want you to feel the emotion of the artist or rider. I want your audience to understand the story and experience of what it means to be a part of your event. Perhaps most importantly, I want you to almost forget I'm there; you're so confident that I have your memories captured because you know I'm ready for plans A-Z, even when things go exactly as intended.

what to expect next

 

 

 

  • You can expect a response within 24-72 hours of your inquiry
  • I'll let you know if I have any additional questions, and we can set up a meeting (in-person or virtual) to go over the plan and your custom quote
  • To secure your booking, I require a 50% retainer. Full payment is required to receive your final gallery
  • I'm located in Quesnel, British Columbia, and travel frequently. If your event is outside of Quesnel, we will discuss travel fees and accommodation if required (I will always use the most economical option)
