Galas & Fundraisers in Stockton: 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.

Stockton is a major city in California, home to roughly 306,000 people. We cover gala or fundraiser events at hotel ballrooms, museums and event venues across the area, from The Haggin Museum, Bob Hope Theatre and Morris Chapel at University of the Pacific to private homes, restaurants and community halls. Stockton sits on the San Joaquin Delta and draws agriculture, logistics and education events, with nearby Lodi wineries adding to the region's wedding options. Summers are hot and dry with cooling Delta breezes in the evening, and winter can bring Central Valley tule fog.

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 Stockton 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 Stockton costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
