Retirement & Farewell Parties in Los Angeles: 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.

Los Angeles is one of the largest cities in North America, home to roughly 4 million people. Whether your retirement party is at The Getty Center, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) or a family home, your MacroSnaps crew arrives early to check light, angles and any venue rules. Entertainment, media and design shape LA's event scene, from studio premieres and award-season parties to trade shows at the convention center downtown. The dry, mild climate allows outdoor shoots most of the year, though traffic between neighborhoods should be built into any multi-location timeline.

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