Frequently Asked Questions
How much does event photography cost in Chicago?
Event photography pricing typically ranges from $500-$3,000 depending on event duration and coverage needs. Half-day coverage (up to 4 hours) starts around $500-$800, while full-day coverage (8+ hours) ranges from $1,200-$3,000. Multi-day conferences and events requiring multiple photographers are quoted based on specific requirements.
How many photos will we receive from our event?
Photo count varies by event duration and activity level. Typical deliverables include 50-100 edited images per hour of coverage. A 4-hour event typically delivers 200-400 edited images, while full-day events often yield 600-1,000 edited photos covering all key moments and candid interactions.
Can you provide same-day images for social media?
Yes! Same-day image delivery is available for additional fees and is popular for events wanting immediate social media content. This requires dedicated editing time during or immediately after your event. I can deliver 20-30 edited images within hours for real-time social engagement.
Will you interfere with our event videographer?
No, I’m highly experienced working alongside videographers and coordinate positioning to ensure we both capture key moments without interfering with each other’s work. Pre-event communication with your videographer ensures seamless collaboration throughout.
