Retirement & Farewell Parties in Maplewood: 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.
Maplewood is a community in Minnesota, home to roughly 41,000 people. Our crews work across Minnesota, so a retirement party in Maplewood gets the same packages, editing standards and delivery times as one in a major metro.
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 Maplewood 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 Maplewood costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

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.
