Award Ceremonies in Austin: photography & video

Award ceremonies produce photos that winners, sponsors and organizers all want to use: the presentation on stage, the acceptance speech and the posed photo with the award. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover industry awards, employee recognition events, school and community honors and nonprofit award dinners, making sure every honoree is photographed properly and that the photos are ready to use in announcements, newsletters and next year's promotion.

Austin is one of the biggest cities in Texas, home to roughly 932,000 people. We cover award ceremony events at hotel ballrooms, museums and event venues across the area, from Laguna Gloria, Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum and The Driskill to private homes, restaurants and community halls. Austin's event calendar is shaped by tech companies, the University of Texas and festivals such as SXSW in March and Austin City Limits in the fall. With the downtown convention center closed for a multi-year rebuild, more meetings are landing in large hotels and university venues, and spring wildflower season is a favorite for portraits before summer heat sets in.

The key to award coverage is preparation. We work from your run of show and list of winners, agree on a position with a clear view of the stage and plan a backdrop for posed winner photos. When a ceremony has many categories, we keep photos organized by order so your team can identify and send them to each winner without guesswork.

For a typical award ceremony, clients in Austin book about 4 hours of photography ($550) and 3 hours of videography ($700). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so Austin costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
