MacroSnaps in Queens
Award Ceremonies in Queens: 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.
Queens is one of the largest cities in North America, home to roughly 2.3 million people. We cover award ceremony events at hotel ballrooms, museums and event venues across the area, from Terrace on the Park, Queens Botanical Garden and Queens Museum to private homes, restaurants and community halls. Queens is home to both of New York City's major airports, which makes it a practical base for airport-hotel meetings, and its diverse communities support a large banquet-hall and multicultural wedding scene. Gantry Plaza and Hunters Point offer skyline views across the East River, best at sunset.
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 Queens 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 Queens costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Queens
Share the run of show
Send the program order, the list of categories and the winners if they can be shared confidentially. This lets us name and organize photos accurately.
Book from arrivals to the last award
Most ceremonies are covered in 3 to 4 hours. Add time for a longer reception or dinner before the program.
Set up a winners' backdrop
A dedicated spot near the stage for posed winner photos keeps the program moving and gives consistent results.
Use two shooters for large programs
With many categories, a second photographer or videographer can cover the stage while the other handles the posed photos and audience reactions.
