Retirement & Farewell Parties in Staten Island: 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.

Staten Island is one of the biggest cities in New York, home to roughly 469,000 people. We cover retirement party events at hotel ballrooms, museums and event venues across the area, from Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden, Historic Richmond Town and The Vanderbilt at South Beach to private homes, restaurants and community halls. Staten Island's event market is largely local, built around catering halls, family celebrations and community events, with Snug Harbor's restored buildings and gardens as a frequent wedding choice. Its waterfront parks offer harbor and Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge views, and the free ferry makes Lower Manhattan an easy add-on location.

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