Birthday photography and videography in Connecticut
Birthdays come in every size, from a toddler's first cake smash to a surprise 50th or a grandparent's 90th. We shape our coverage around the person being celebrated and the people who came for them.
About birthdays coverage
A child's party and a milestone adult birthday are very different events. We adjust our pace, our tone and our approach to match, whether that means a backyard of kids or a dinner with old friends.
We keep things light and low-pressure, so the guest of honor and the guests can enjoy the day.
Moments we cover at birthdays
The arrival and surprise
Whether it is a surprise party or a big entrance, the first reaction is often the best picture of the day.
Cake and candles
The singing, the wish and the blowing out of the candles, with faces glowing around the cake.
Games and activities
Piñatas, bounce houses, karaoke or lawn games, depending on the party and the age.
Toasts and tributes
For milestone birthdays, speeches, slideshows and stories from friends and family.
Gift opening
Real reactions to presents, which are usually funny and heartwarming.

Planning tips
Tell us the cake time
Cake is the main moment of most parties, so a rough time lets us be ready and in a good position.
Set a group photo moment
A quick gathering of everyone before guests start leaving makes sure the whole group is in at least one picture.
Mention any surprises
If someone is arriving unannounced or a speech is planned, tell us ahead so we can catch it.
Photography and videography for birthdays
Birthdays photography
A good birthday photo shows how the day felt, with the honoree and their favorite people. We aim for natural, happy pictures that you will want to print and share.
How photography worksBirthdays videography
Video holds the sounds a photo cannot: the birthday song, a child's giggle, a toast from an old friend. We build birthday films around those moments.
