Retirement & Farewell Parties in Arlington: photography & video

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.

Arlington is a major city in Virginia, home to roughly 208,000 people. Whether your retirement party is at Top of the Town, Army Navy Country Club or a family home, your MacroSnaps crew arrives early to check light, angles and any venue rules. Arlington's events are driven by the federal government, defense contractors and Amazon's HQ2 in National Landing, with frequent association and government meetings near the Pentagon and Reagan National. Its overlooks of the Potomac and the DC skyline are popular for portraits, especially during spring cherry-blossom season and in fall.

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.

For a typical retirement party, clients in Arlington book about 3 hours of photography ($450) and 2 hours of videography ($500). 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 Arlington costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
