A Sweet 16 is a party that's planned around one person and her friends, and it moves quickly: the grand entrance, the candle-lighting, a father-daughter dance, a slideshow and hours on the dance floor. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover the full evening, from portraits before guests arrive to the last group photo with friends, so the family can enjoy the party instead of filming it on phones.
Choose your city below for local venues, typical coverage and answers to common questions, or book directly online. A typical Sweet 16 is about 4 hours of photography ($550) and 3 hours of videography ($700).

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Pennsylvania
Plan a short portrait session
Ask the guest of honor to be ready 30 to 45 minutes before guests arrive. Portraits are much easier in an empty room, and the outfit and makeup are at their freshest.
Book 3 to 4 hours
Most Sweet 16 parties are well covered in 3 to 4 hours, starting before guests arrive and finishing after the cake and candle-lighting.
Think about lighting
Party venues are often dim with colored lights. We bring lighting for dark rooms, but if you have a choice, schedule portraits and candle-lighting before the room goes fully dark.
Add video or a photo booth
A highlight video captures the entrance and dances with sound, while a photo booth gives friends something to do and a set of digital photos to share.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
