Why Hire An Event/Conference Photographer?

When your company is planning an event such as an office party, promotional event, or conference, hiring a professional photographer is very important. MB Photo Solutions is a professional commercial photographer and videographer in the Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia area chosen to cover some of the largest events in the region from presidential inaugurations to 20,000 attendee conferences. We’d like to explain the reasons why hiring a professional photographer or videographer for your next corporate event is crucial. 

Capturing the unique experience of your event or conference is where a professional photographer excels. If your event is annual, photographs will help you remember what you did that was successful, from decorations to food, entertainment, and venue. It can help increase attendance at your next event by creating an immersive storytelling collection of photos capturing the experience from the view of attendees. 

Social media is a prominent form of marketing, and having constant content is extremely important. Professional photographs at your company event make for great content, showing your business from a different perspective with group photos, candid shots, company name or product placement, and attendees having a great time. 

You will want to hire professionals who will make your event shine, whether that is an excellent catering company, entertainment, service staff, professional photographer and/or videographer. Professionals impress your attendees, showing them that you are willing to go the extra mile to provide top notch events. A professional photographer ensures you and your team members, clients and guests will be included in your professional, high quality collection of event images. 

Hiring a professional photographer allows you to focus on hosting your event, without being concerned about having the time to take photos, or having those photos exclude important attendees, including yourself! Professional photographers know how to obtain the best angles, lighting, expressions and emotions from photos of your event. They take the time to go through each image to make any adjustments necessary to get the absolute best pictures. 

The quality of photographs on your website or social media reflects your company’s professionalism. People taking random photos on their cellphones cannot compare with a professional photographer’s eye, equipment, composition and editing skills. Should you want to include event photos on the company’s social media, you’ll want them to be the highest quality possible. 

Consider the time you spend preparing for your event. When it is finally underway, the event seems to fly by, and you may have missed the moments you spent so much time trying to create. Hiring a professional photographer ensures those moments will not be missed, and the images you receive will be of the best possible quality. A professional photographer has the right gear, lenses, knowledge, and experience to capture the quality photos you want and need for banners, posters, social media, brochures, and more.
