Galas & Fundraisers in Cincinnati: photography & video

Galas and fundraisers need photos that work long after the night ends: for the press release, the annual report, sponsor thank-yous and next year's invitation. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover the red carpet and step-and-repeat, honorees and speakers, the live auction and paddle raise, and the guests and sponsors who made the evening possible. We aim for photos your team can use across print, web and social media without extra editing.

Cincinnati is a major city in Ohio, home to roughly 297,000 people. Whether your gala or fundraiser is at Cincinnati Art Museum, Union Terminal (Cincinnati Museum Center) or a family home, your MacroSnaps crew arrives early to check light, angles and any venue rules. Cincinnati is headquarters to Procter & Gamble, Kroger and other major firms, so consumer-goods, retail and financial meetings fill its convention center and downtown hotels. Historic architecture in Over-the-Rhine and along the Ohio River makes for strong backdrops, with spring and fall the most comfortable outdoor seasons.

We work closely with your development and communications teams before the event. A shot list of VIPs, board members, sponsors and honorees lets us make sure the people who matter most to your organization are photographed, and the full gallery is retouched and usually ready in about one week. A highlight video can also be used to open next year's event or support your fundraising appeal.

For a typical gala or fundraiser, clients in Cincinnati 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 Cincinnati costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
