Birthday & Milestone Parties in Maricopa: photography & video
Milestone birthdays bring together people who don't always share a room: old friends, colleagues, family from out of town. Whether it's a first birthday, a 30th at a restaurant, a 50th with a band or a 70th with grandchildren, MacroSnaps photographers and videographers record who was there and how the evening felt, so the host can spend time with guests instead of organizing photos.
Maricopa is a community in Arizona, home to roughly 49,000 people. We cover birthday party events in banquet halls, hotels, places of worship, restaurants and private homes throughout Maricopa and nearby Chandler and Casa Grande.
For adult milestone parties we focus on the toasts, the cake and plenty of candid photos of guests talking and dancing, along with group photos of friends and family. For kids' parties we keep things quick and playful, working around entertainers, games and short attention spans, and getting the cake photos before the frosting is everywhere. Either way, tell us who matters most and we'll make sure they're in the gallery.
For a typical birthday party, clients in Maricopa book about 3 hours of photography ($450) and 2 hours of videography ($500). 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 Maricopa costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Maricopa
Book the first half of the party
For most birthday parties, 2 to 3 hours covering arrivals, the toasts and the cake is enough. Ask us to arrive just before guests so we can photograph the room set up.
Schedule toasts and cake earlier
Holding the speeches and cake in the first two hours means you don't need to book coverage late into the night, and guests are still all present.
Give us a short group-photo list
Note the combinations you want, such as college friends, siblings or grandchildren. A list keeps group photos to a few minutes.
Consider a short highlight video
A 3 to 8 minute highlight video set to music you choose is a good way to keep the speeches and atmosphere of a 50th or 60th.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
