Award Ceremonies in Tacoma: 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.

Tacoma is a major city in Washington, home to roughly 208,000 people. We cover award ceremony events at hotel ballrooms, museums and event venues across the area, from Museum of Glass, Tacoma Art Museum and LeMay – America's Car Museum to private homes, restaurants and community halls. Tacoma's event market is shaped by the Port of Tacoma, Joint Base Lewis-McChord and a strong museum district, which makes it a practical alternative to Seattle for conferences and receptions. Rain is common from October to May, so summer is peak outdoor season, with Mount Rainier views on clear days.

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