Award Ceremonies in Santa Ana: 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.

Santa Ana is a major city in California, home to roughly 335,000 people. We cover award ceremony events at hotel ballrooms, museums and event venues across the area, from Bowers Museum, Old Orange County Courthouse and Discovery Cube Orange County to private homes, restaurants and community halls. As Orange County's seat, Santa Ana hosts government, legal and cultural events, and its museums and historic downtown are popular for galas and weddings with a strong Latino cultural influence. The mild coastal-inland climate makes outdoor shoots possible most of the year, with summer heat and late-spring marine-layer mornings to plan around.

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