Galas & Fundraisers in Owensboro: 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.
Owensboro is a growing city in Kentucky, home to roughly 59,000 people. Our crews work across Kentucky, so a gala or fundraiser in Owensboro gets the same packages, editing standards and delivery times as one in a major metro.
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 Owensboro 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 Owensboro costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Our work








Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Owensboro
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.
