Event Photography at the HRC National Dinner | Washington, DC Event Photographer

 

The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve LGBTQ+ equality.

Each year, the organization hosts its National Dinner which brings together more than 3,000 HRC members,

friends, family and allies for an evening of celebration and inspiration. The evening, which attracts the nation’s top figures in entertainment and politics, features a cocktail reception, silent auction, an elegant dinner, live

entertainment and thought-provoking speakers and guests. Marriott International is a long-standing partner and supporter of HRC and has activated at the National Dinner for many years. Marriott once again served as a sponsor the Federal Club Council Welcome Reception in conjunction with a larger corporate sponsorship. They hosted colleagues, customers, and strategic partners at the dinner. The Federal Club Council is HRC’s major donor giving program. Members of the council provide the leadership, vision and resources that are critical to HRC’s work and mission. Each year, before the National Dinner programming begins, a private, 1-hour, VIP welcome reception is held for members of the council and their guests. The reception space is then opened to all dinner attendees to experience prior to heading into the separate dinner space.

For this event we provided the event photography and photography for the photo op! Guest lined up for a photo and could instantly get a text message with a link to download their photo to post online immediately to share in the excitement!

Event at the Army Navy Country Club | Arlington, Virginia Event Photographer

 

I photographed the forth annual Red Wine & Blues event for the Robert Irvine Foundation this year at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, Virginia! The Army Navy Country Club offers a stunning and versatile venue for banquets and events, blending timeless elegance with modern amenities. Located in a picturesque setting, it features spacious ballrooms and beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces with a view of Washington, DC, making it ideal for this event! This one-of-a-kind 3-course dining experience is hosted by celebrity Chef Robert Irvine and presented by the Robert Irvine Foundation. The event is an exclusive, intimate B2B networking event that brings together industry executives and senior military leadership to honor and celebrate the Enlisted Aide of the Year and the impact of the Robert Irvine Foundation. Programming included a 3-course dining experience prepared by the Chef Robert Irvine culinary team and military chefs, live music performances and formal awards presentation. View some highlights from this event!

As a DC and Northern Virginia event photographer, my team’s priority has always been capturing moments of an event that both tell a story and evoke a feeling. Every photograph we make is about something; whether that be an emotion, reaction, or an interaction, I believe there should be meaning behind every photograph. 

BELOW ARE THE TYPES OF SHOTS YOU CAN EXPECT, STANDARD WITH EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY COVERAGE.

ESTABLISHING SHOTS AT CORPORATE EVENTS

Establishing shots to give a sense of space and more importantly the scale of a corporate event. They can also be a great way to highlight your premiere DC venue. These are great for social media posts or documentation.

We always get photographs from several different perspectives. Example shots include: A shot of a performer or speaker on stage from the perspective of the audience, wide shots from each corner of a banquet hall, convention center, etc, an exterior shot of a venue or a wide shot of the floor of a convention center from a floor from above.

DETAIL SHOTS AT CORPORATE EVENTS

Detail shots we capture include: venue details, event signage, food, and more.

Details matter at a corporate event. We know organizers put in a lot of work to produce an event of any size with many details to show for it. As always, when photographing an event, we photography with the end use in mind. we are there to get the types of images that you are looking for.

CLOSE-UP CANDID PHOTOGRAPHY AT CORPORATE EVENTS

Close-up candid photographs of individuals capture the emotional high points of an event. They can be photographed in a variety of ways, but usually with a telephoto lens and a shallow depth of field. This minimizes distracting elements and allows a viewer to zero in on, and connect with a moment. These are often the images viewers connect with most. we pay special attention to photographing your VIPs such as guest speakers or your CEO, but as always, we work to maximize coverage of an event; we try to get a photo of as many attendees as possible.

GROUP PORTRAITS AT CORPORATE EVENTS

As a roaming event photographer, anytime we see a small group conversing, we are sure to approach them with a smile and simply ask, “hey can we get a shot of you guys?” These shots allow us to be sure to get all of your VIPs in photographs together and help me maximize coverage, making sure to photograph as many attendees as possible. These are often the types of photos guests at corporate events like to share.

DELIVERY & EDITING OF YOUR IMAGES

We do our best to make as many meaningful images capturing your corporate event as possible. Our rates always includes edited images in high resolution with basic usage rights. We understand the need for a fast turnaround time. We offer same day, night of, and even live editing and file delivery. Let us know your turnaround time needs.

Here is a recent corporate event and panel discussion we photographed at the Westin Downtown DC with Marriott International:

As a DC event photographer, my team’s priority has always been capturing moments of an event that both tell a story and evoke a feeling. Every photograph we make is about something; whether that be an emotion, reaction, or an interaction, I believe there should be meaning behind every photograph. Here are a few images we photographed at the British Embassy:

BELOW ARE THE TYPES OF SHOTS YOU CAN EXPECT, STANDARD WITH EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY COVERAGE.

ESTABLISHING SHOTS AT CORPORATE EVENTS

Establishing shots to give a sense of space and more importantly the scale of a corporate event. They can also be a great way to highlight your premiere DC venue. These are great for social media posts or documentation.

We always get photographs from several different perspectives. Example shots include: A shot of a performer or speaker on stage from the perspective of the audience, wide shots from each corner of a banquet hall, convention center, etc, an exterior shot of a venue or a wide shot of the floor of a convention center from a floor from above.

DETAIL SHOTS AT CORPORATE EVENTS

Detail shots we capture include: venue details, event signage, food, and more.

Details matter at a corporate event. We know organizers put in a lot of work to produce an event of any size with many details to show for it. As always, when photographing an event, we photography with the end use in mind. we are there to get the types of images that you are looking for.

CLOSE-UP CANDID PHOTOGRAPHY AT CORPORATE EVENTS

Close-up candid photographs of individuals capture the emotional high points of an event. They can be photographed in a variety of ways, but usually with a telephoto lens and a shallow depth of field. This minimizes distracting elements and allows a viewer to zero in on, and connect with a moment. These are often the images viewers connect with most. we pay special attention to photographing your VIPs such as guest speakers or your CEO, but as always, we work to maximize coverage of an event; we try to get a photo of as many attendees as possible.

GROUP PORTRAITS AT CORPORATE EVENTS

As a roaming event photographer, anytime we see a small group conversing, we are sure to approach them with a smile and simply ask, “hey can we get a shot of you guys?” These shots allow us to be sure to get all of your VIPs in photographs together and help me maximize coverage, making sure to photograph as many attendees as possible. These are often the types of photos guests at corporate events like to share.

DELIVERY & EDITING OF YOUR IMAGES

We do our best to make as many meaningful images capturing your corporate event as possible. Our rates always includes edited images in high resolution with basic usage rights. We understand the need for a fast turnaround time. We offer same day, night of, and even live editing and file delivery. Let us know your turnaround time needs.
