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.
Choose your city below for local venues, typical coverage and answers to common questions, or book directly online. A typical gala or fundraiser is about 5 hours of photography ($650) and 4 hours of videography ($900).

Our work
Planning tips
Planning your coverage in North Carolina
Send a VIP and sponsor shot list
Include names and, if possible, photos of people who must be photographed. Assign a staff member to help us find them during the reception.
Cover the full program
Most galas need 4 to 5 hours, from the room setup and arrivals through the program and auction. Dancing later in the evening can be covered by the last hour.
Plan the step-and-repeat lighting
Ballrooms are often dim. We bring lighting for the step-and-repeat and stage, but let us know the venue's rules on stands and power.
Use video for next year's appeal
A highlight video with speeches and interviews helps future fundraising. A second photographer or videographer is useful for large galas with simultaneous red carpet and reception.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
