Professional Event Photography That Keeps Your Guests Buzzing

24-Hour Gallery Delivery

Your complete, professionally edited event gallery delivered within 24 hours so you can share on social media while the buzz is still alive.

Instant Photos With SpotMyPhotos

The thing people talk about most at my events is SpotMyPhotos. It is an instant photo delivery system that sends each guest their own photos, straight to their phone, while the event is still going. Guests register with a quick selfie when they arrive, and every photo I take of them lands in their inbox automatically.

No searching through hundreds of images. No waiting. Your guests are sharing photos on social media before dessert is served. Paired with same-day rush delivery, your event generates real-time engagement instead of an afterthought gallery a fortnight later.

Candid, Documentary Coverage

I work in a candid, documentary style. I move through the room quietly, capturing the energy, the connections, and the details you spent weeks organising. The keynote speaker at the lectern, the spontaneous laughter over canapes, the branding elements your marketing team needs for the post-event wrap-up.

I also arrive early to photograph the set-up, stage design, signage, and table settings before anyone walks through the door. All images are professionally edited with consistent colour correction, ready for your website, social media, and annual reports.

Galas, Conferences & Celebrations

Corporate galas and awards nights are one of my specialities. I have been the trusted photographer for the Wellington Gala Awards for several years running, and I regularly cover charity fundraisers, industry dinners, and end-of-year celebrations. Conferences and seminars get a different approach: speaker presentations, panel discussions, networking breaks, and exhibition stands.

Celebrations and milestones, from 21st birthdays to retirement parties and school balls, are where candid photography really shines. The laughter, the dancing, the surprise expressions. These are the photos your guests will keep coming back to.

24-Hour Gallery Delivery

I have covered everything from intimate dinners of 20 guests to conferences with over 2,000 attendees. Before your event, we go through your must-have shots, your run sheet, and any VIPs who need extra attention. On the day, I am adaptable and low-key.

Your 24-hour gallery delivery means you can share images while people are still buzzing about the night. I also create social media highlight packages: short, punchy visual recaps designed for Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook, giving your marketing team ready-to-post content.
