Not necessarily. Half-day coverage works well for shorter events or when you only need the high-impact moments documented (key sessions, the main reveal, the gala dinner). Full-day coverage is the right fit when you want the entire arc of the event captured. We'll talk through your run-of-show and recommend the best fit.

Yes. Video coverage and highlight reels are available as add-ons to any photography package, with a discount for combined photo and video bookings. Learn more about video production.

Yes. On-site headshot stations are a popular event add-on - speakers, sponsors, attendees, and team members can step in for quick professional headshots between sessions. Learn more about headshot services.
