Why Your Next Corporate Event Should Include Professional Photography From a Dallas Event Photographer
Corporate event photography not only preserves the memories from your event, but these professional images also highlight the details that matter most and position your company as confident and trustworthy when used in your marketing and promotional materials.
Keep reading to learn more about what event photography is. Plus, take a behind-the-scenes look at LogRocket’s corporate networking event in Dallas that I recently photographed.
What is Corporate Event Photography?
Corporate event photography authentically tells the story of your company’s event and is a professional documentation of your day. These images demonstrate the atmosphere of your event, the energy and emotions, and can even include product photography (if relevant).
Many companies choose to use these images on their website and for promotional and marketing materials. These images are also a special gift you can share with attendees after the event.
Corporate event photography is an umbrella term that can include business conferences, seminars, product launches, corporate parties, networking events, awards ceremonies, etc.
When you work with a professional photographer for your corporate event, you’ll usually receive a curated gallery that includes photos of your venue, detail shots, and food and beverage images.
You’ll also have photos of the attendees, candid interactions, photos of your speakers, VIP guests, and group photos. If there are specific images you want, such as individual images or a large group photo, it’s best to discuss beforehand with the photographer you’re working with what images you want and what your vision is for your images. I always communicate beforehand with clients about their shot list!
Why Your Next Corporate Event Should Include Professional Photography
Professional photography of your event elevates your event and company as it influences how your company (and event) is perceived. I highly recommend investing in a professional photographer for your event over having your employees take images on their phones.
Having high-quality images is also always great for your marketing efforts. It’s content that can be shared across multiple marketing channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, and your email list) and brings positive attention to your company.
Your guests will also appreciate having high-quality images they can share and reflect on; these images truly elevate their overall experience. If you want to improve your business image and make your event last long after the day ends, professional photos are the answer.
The goal of having a professional photographer at your next event isn’t to make your company and employees look “perfect,” but rather to demonstrate what makes your company unique through authentic, real images that aren’t stiff or overly posed.
Does My Corporate Event Need Photography?
My answer? All corporate events should have professional photography, and the reason for this is that so much work goes into planning these events that they deserve to be thoughtfully captured.
It’s easy to forget an event even happened when you don’t have photos to look back on. Remember, your event can’t be repeated or recreated once it’s over, and we live in a digital-first world where it’s important to have high-quality images that strengthen your company’s brand and image.
The visuals you use are always speaking for you, which is why it’s so important that you are confident that your images are telling exactly the story you want.
Finding the Perfect Dallas Event Photographer for Your Event
Not all Dallas event photographers are the same, and corporate event photography requires a specific skill set. When looking for the right photographer for your event, my first suggestion is to always review their portfolio.
This will give you more insight into the type of images they take and also how they tell the story of your event. You can also see if they’ve previously photographed events that are similar to yours.
When doing your research, also make sure that their style and editing align with what you’re looking for. Once you’ve narrowed down your search, you’ll want to make sure you understand each photographer’s pricing and deliverables, as photographers structure pricing differently.
No matter what, ensure from the beginning that you know what to expect and the delivery timeline.
Dallas Corporate Event Photography for LogRocket at The Henry
I had the opportunity to photograph LogRocket’s spring networking event at The Henry in Dallas. LogRocket is a tech company that “proactively identifies what’s causing friction and gives your team the context to resolve it fast.” You can learn more about the company and what they do here!
They chose The Henry as the backdrop for their day, which created an elegant, elevated atmosphere for their event. The LogRocket event started with the team greeting their attendees and sitting with them to show them their product in action.
The images I photographed demonstrated that while the event was professional, the atmosphere was designed to be a welcoming, inclusive environment for attendees. Attendees enjoyed drinks, food, and casual conversation, and the images I photographed showed off the LogRocket team in their best light.
The images all sell the “experience” of the event. We also set aside some time to photograph the team at LogRocket and the founders. These images not only tell the story of the event but also convey LogRocket’s professionalism, enthusiasm, and product success.
