Retirement & Farewell Party Photography & Videography

Retirement and farewell party photography and video: speeches, tributes, slideshow moments and group photos. Open hourly pricing, our own crews.

Your retirement & farewell parties celebration photographed and filmed with care

A retirement party marks the end of a career that may have lasted decades, and it brings together colleagues, former team members, family and friends who rarely share a room. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover retirement and farewell parties hosted by companies, departments and families, from an office send-off to a restaurant dinner or banquet hall celebration.

The heart of these events is the tributes: speeches from managers and colleagues, stories from family, the slideshow of photos from earlier years and the retiree's own words at the end. We make sure those moments are covered, along with group photos with each team and generation of colleagues, and candid photos of people reconnecting. Tell us who should be in the gallery and we'll find them.

Our prices are listed openly and are the same for every client: photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour, and videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a two-hour minimum. Companies and families can book and pay online. MacroSnaps is part of MacroHype LLC, working with businesses and families since 2011, and is insured through State Farm, with certificates of insurance for venues.

Planning tips

How to plan your coverage

Book 2 to 3 hours

Most retirement parties are well covered in 2 to 3 hours, from arrivals through the speeches, gifts and group photos.

Share the program

Send the order of speakers, the slideshow timing and any presentations, so the photographer is in place for each moment.

Make a group-photo list

List the teams, departments and family combinations you want, and ask a colleague to help gather people.

Record the tributes on video

Speeches and the retiree's farewell are worth keeping with sound. A highlight video of 3 to 8 minutes makes a thoughtful keepsake.

Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
