Festivals & Community Events in Wilkes-Barre: photography & video
Festivals and community events are large, busy and spread out, and the organizers who run them need photos for sponsors, grant reports, press and next year's promotion. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover cultural festivals, Diwali and Eid celebrations, Lunar New Year events, heritage parades, street fairs, charity walks and races, working to your shot list across stages, vendors and crowds.
Wilkes-Barre is a community in Pennsylvania, home to roughly 41,000 people. Our crews work across Pennsylvania, so a festival or community event in Wilkes-Barre gets the same packages, editing standards and delivery times as one in a major metro.
Community events often bring together many traditions in one place. We are respectful of religious and cultural practices, ask before photographing prayers or ceremonies, and follow guidance from organizers about where photography is welcome. For parades and races, we plan positions along the route in advance, covering the start, key points and the finish line, so every part of the event is represented.
For a typical festival or community event, clients in Wilkes-Barre book about 5 hours of photography ($650) and 4 hours of videography ($900). 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 Wilkes-Barre costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Wilkes-Barre
Share a map and schedule
Send the site map, stage schedule and parade or race route. This lets us plan where to be for each part of the event and how many hours to book.
Book by the key moments
Many festivals run all day. Booking 4 to 6 hours around the opening, headline performances and busiest periods is often more efficient than covering every hour.
Plan for outdoor light
Midday sun is harsh. If you can, schedule key performances and group photos for the morning or late afternoon, and tell us about any evening events with stage lighting.
Use multiple shooters for large events
A second photographer or videographer helps cover multiple stages, long parade routes or a race start and finish at the same time.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
