Professional photography in San Jose, California

From corporate conferences to weddings, MacroSnaps provides photography in San Jose, California, with packages you can book and pay for online in minutes.

San Jose is one of the largest cities in North America, home to roughly 1 million people. As the largest city in Silicon Valley, San Jose sees a steady flow of tech conferences, developer events and product launches, plus corporate offsites in nearby Santa Clara. The dry, mild climate makes outdoor sessions practical most of the year, with the Municipal Rose Garden peaking from April through June.

Every booking includes retouched, color-graded photos in a private online gallery, and our team is fully insured for venues that require a certificate of insurance.

FAQ

Photography in San Jose: common questions

How much does a photographer cost in San Jose?

MacroSnaps photography packages in San Jose start at $350 for 2 hours of coverage, and every package price is listed on this page. The first-hour price includes travel, so San Jose costs the same as any other city we serve. Multi-day and multi-camera corporate events are booked at the same published hourly rates.

How are your prices so affordable?

We are affordable, but not cheap. We don't believe hiring a professional photographer or videographer should break the bank, and your wedding day certainly shouldn't cost you $10,000 to $20,000 just for photography. We keep prices down by how we work: our crews cover several events a day, so we run at high volume instead of charging one client for an entire day; our post-production team includes dedicated editors, some based overseas, who retouch and edit efficiently; and we share people, equipment and systems with our parent company, MacroHype. The result is professional cameras and lighting, experienced photographers and videographers, and careful, professional editing at a price that is published on our website and the same for every client.

Do you have photographers in San Jose?

Yes. MacroSnaps has its own photographers and videographers working across California, and we assign a crew for San Jose as soon as you book. You deal with one company from booking to delivery.

How far in advance should I book in San Jose?

Book as early as you can, especially for weekday conferences in peak convention season. Every booking reserves your date and time, and we will confirm your crew by email.

When will I receive my photos or video?

Photos are edited, retouched and delivered in an online gallery in about a week. Edited highlight videos are delivered in 2 to 4 weeks depending on the package. Faster turnaround for corporate events can be arranged.

Can you provide a certificate of insurance for my San Jose venue?

Yes. We are insured through State Farm ($1 million each occurrence, $2 million general aggregate). Email info@macrosnaps.com with your venue's requirements and we will send the certificate.
