Award Ceremonies in Toronto: 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.

Toronto is one of the largest cities in North America, home to roughly 2.6 million people. We cover award ceremony events at hotel ballrooms, museums and event venues across the area, from Casa Loma, Royal Ontario Museum and Art Gallery of Ontario to private homes, restaurants and community halls. Toronto is Canada's financial and media capital, hosting large conferences at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and Exhibition Place and drawing international attention every September during the Toronto International Film Festival. Summer and early fall are peak wedding season, and winter events move indoors to the city's hotels, museums and converted industrial spaces.

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