MacroSnaps in Washington, DC
Corporate Holiday Parties in Washington, DC: photography & video
A company holiday party is one of the few times a whole team is in one room, often with partners and guests. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover end-of-year parties for companies of all sizes, from office gatherings to ballroom events, with candid photos of colleagues, team and department group photos, leadership remarks and any awards or recognitions. The result is a record of the year's people that you can share across the company.
Washington, DC is the nation's capital, home to roughly 690,000 people. We cover holiday party events at hotel ballrooms, museums and event venues across the area, from National Building Museum, Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium and Decatur House to private homes, restaurants and community halls. Washington's event market is built around government, policy associations, nonprofits and embassies, so conferences, advocacy fly-ins and evening receptions run year-round. Cherry blossom season in late March and early April is the busiest time for portraits around the Tidal Basin, and permits are required for some shoots on the National Mall.
We know these photos are often used internally, on careers pages and on social media, so we keep the coverage professional and balanced. We focus on genuine moments between colleagues rather than people mid-bite, photograph every team you ask for, and coordinate with HR or your event planner about anything that shouldn't be shared. A short highlight video works well for internal communications and recruiting.
For a typical holiday party, clients in Washington, DC book about 3 hours of photography ($450) and 3 hours of videography ($700). 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 Washington, DC costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Washington, DC
Book the first 3 to 4 hours
The most useful photos happen during arrivals, remarks and awards. Most companies book 3 to 4 hours rather than covering the party until the end.
Assign a point of contact
Someone who knows the team can help us find people for group photos and point out leadership and award recipients.
Let us know photo policies
If some employees prefer not to be photographed, or photos will be used publicly, tell us in advance so we can plan accordingly.
Add a photo booth or video
A photo booth gives employees photos to share, and a highlight video is useful for internal channels and recruiting.
