Not every celebration fits a category. Company anniversaries, holiday parties, grand openings, fundraisers, and community celebrations still deserve the same careful coverage as any conference or gala.

Some events need a page of their own. Special-event coverage is flexible photography for occasions that do not fit neatly into conferences, conventions, meetings, award shows, or galas — from a holiday party with a photo moment to a grand opening with a ribbon cutting, an anniversary with a program of toasts, or a community fundraiser with a full evening of activity. Seattle Photo and Video is Seattle-based and covers these events across the Puget Sound and on travel assignments. Coverage is planned around the occasion: arrivals and guest candids, décor and theme details, speeches and toasts, entertainment and activities, group photographs, and the sendoff. Before the event we agree on the schedule, the must-capture moments, and any VIP or restricted moments.
Coverage priorities: Arrivals and guest candids; décor, theme, and venue details; speeches, toasts, and program moments; entertainment and activities; group photographs; closing and sendoff.
FAQs: What counts as a "special event"? Anything from a holiday party to a grand opening, milestone anniversary, or community celebration. Can you cover both formal and casual events? Yes — the approach adapts to the tone of the event. What do you need from us beforehand? The schedule, venue, key people, must-capture moments, and any restricted moments. Do you offer a red-carpet or step-and-repeat? That can be arranged when planned in advance.
