Award Ceremonies in Phoenix: 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.

Phoenix is one of the largest cities in North America, home to roughly 1.6 million people. We cover award ceremony events at hotel ballrooms, museums and event venues across the area, from Desert Botanical Garden, Heard Museum and Wrigley Mansion to private homes, restaurants and community halls. Phoenix's resort properties make it a common destination for incentive trips and corporate retreats, with conference and wedding season concentrated from October through April. Summer temperatures regularly top 100°F, so outdoor shoots in those months are usually scheduled around sunrise or golden hour.

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