Sweet 16 Parties in Tallahassee: photography & video

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.

Tallahassee is a major city in Florida, home to roughly 190,000 people. We cover Sweet 16 events in banquet halls, hotels, places of worship, restaurants and private homes throughout Tallahassee and nearby Valdosta and Albany.

We keep coverage relaxed and natural. Sixteen-year-olds and their friends are often more comfortable when the photographer blends in, so we balance a short set of planned portraits with plenty of candid photos from the dance floor, the photo backdrop and the tables. If there's a theme, a special outfit change or a surprise performance, tell us in advance and we'll make sure it's covered.

For a typical Sweet 16, clients in Tallahassee book about 4 hours of photography ($550) and 3 hours of videography ($700). 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 Tallahassee costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Planning tips

Planning your coverage in Tallahassee

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
