Professional event photography in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Events in Pittsburgh deserve to be remembered properly. Our event photographers cover private parties, cultural celebrations, fundraisers and corporate receptions of every size.

Pittsburgh is a major city in Pennsylvania, home to roughly 304,000 people. Pittsburgh's event calendar draws on healthcare, robotics, AI and higher education, with Carnegie Mellon, Pitt and UPMC fueling a steady stream of conferences. The city's rivers, bridges and hills give it varied backdrops; fall foliage is a highlight, while winters are cold and often overcast.

FAQ

Event Photography in Pittsburgh: common questions

How much does a event photographer cost in Pittsburgh?

MacroSnaps event photography packages in Pittsburgh start at $350 for 2 hours of coverage, and every package price is listed on this page. The first-hour price includes travel, so Pittsburgh costs the same as any other city we serve. Multi-day and multi-camera corporate events are booked at the same published hourly rates.

How are your prices so affordable?

We are affordable, but not cheap. We don't believe hiring a professional photographer or videographer should break the bank, and your wedding day certainly shouldn't cost you $10,000 to $20,000 just for photography. We keep prices down by how we work: our crews cover several events a day, so we run at high volume instead of charging one client for an entire day; our post-production team includes dedicated editors, some based overseas, who retouch and edit efficiently; and we share people, equipment and systems with our parent company, MacroHype. The result is professional cameras and lighting, experienced photographers and videographers, and careful, professional editing at a price that is published on our website and the same for every client.

Do you have event photographers in Pittsburgh?

Yes. MacroSnaps has its own photographers and videographers working across Pennsylvania, and we assign a crew for Pittsburgh as soon as you book. You deal with one company from booking to delivery.

How far in advance should I book in Pittsburgh?

Book as early as you can, especially for weekday conferences in peak convention season. Every booking reserves your date and time, and we will confirm your crew by email.

When will I receive my photos or video?

Photos are edited, retouched and delivered in an online gallery in about a week. Edited highlight videos are delivered in 2 to 4 weeks depending on the package. Faster turnaround for corporate events can be arranged.

Can you provide a certificate of insurance for my Pittsburgh venue?

Yes. We are insured through State Farm ($1 million each occurrence, $2 million general aggregate). Email info@macrosnaps.com with your venue's requirements and we will send the certificate.
