Award Ceremonies in Madison: 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.

Madison is a major city in Wisconsin, home to roughly 249,000 people. Whether your award ceremony is at Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Overture Center for the Arts or a family home, your MacroSnaps crew arrives early to check light, angles and any venue rules. As Wisconsin's capital and home of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the city hosts government, academic, healthcare-tech and association events, with Epic Systems in nearby Verona adding a major corporate presence. The isthmus between two lakes is at its best in summer and early fall, while winters are long and cold.

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 Madison 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 Madison costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
