Our Process

01

Discovery

We start by understanding the event: attendee count, venue, run of show, sponsor or brand requirements, and what the images need to accomplish afterward (social content, press, internal use, marketing materials, etc.). This is also where we scope hours and crew size.

02

Pre-Production

We build a shot list around your program: arrivals, speakers, sponsor signage, VIP moments, candids, group shots, and venue/decor details. For multi-day conferences or large galas, we assign photographers to specific segments so nothing gets missed throughout the day. 

03

Day-of Coverage

On event day, our photographers cover every aspect of the event. For Premier and Plus packages, we deliver same-day preview images so you can post during the event or the same night, while attention is still high.

04

Culling & Delivery

Post-event, we cull our gallery and apply color correction, cropping, and brand-consistent edits. Final galleries are delivered full-resolution through a private online gallery, with turnaround from 3 to 14 business days depending on package and event size.

Bay Area Event Photography for Corporate, Nonprofit & Private Events


FAQs
The answers to your questions
How much does event photography cost in the Bay Area?
Bay Area event photography typically starts around $500/hr for a single photographer covering a smaller event, scaling up to $1,000+/hr for large-scale events needing multiple photographers and full-day documentation. Borja Plus Media's packages start at $500/hr with a 2-hour minimum.
How many photos should I expect from a corporate event?
For a typical corporate event or conference, expect 50 to 100+ edited, high-resolution images depending on event length and package. Larger events with 500+ attendees typically yield 300 or more final images.
How soon do I get my photos after the event?
Delivery windows generally run from 3 to 14 business days depending on package tier and event size. Same-day preview images are available on mid-tier and higher packages so you can post immediately.
Should I still book a photographer for a small event?
Yes, if you want usable images afterward. Phone photos rarely capture a room's lighting, candid expressions, or key moments consistently. A one-photographer package covers most private parties and smaller gatherings efficiently.
What's the difference between event photography and event videography?
Event photography captures still, high-resolution images for social media, press, recaps, and marketing use. Event videography captures moving footage, often edited into a highlight reel. Many corporate and gala clients book both to cover different content needs — Borja Plus Media offers both services.
Do you cover events outside San Francisco?
Yes. We serve the greater Bay Area, including San Francisco, Oakland, San Leandro, San Jose, and surrounding communities.
