Events / Fundraisers and galas
Fundraiser and gala photography and videography in Connecticut
A gala is both a party and a way to build support for your mission. We capture the evening, the people who came and the moments that remind donors why it matters.
About fundraisers and galas coverage
Photos and video from a fundraiser help you thank supporters, recognize sponsors and show new donors what you do. They are often used in next year's invitations and annual reports.
We understand these evenings run on a tight program. We work quietly through dinner, speeches and auctions and respect the tone of your cause.

Planning tips
Share the program
A run of show tells us when speeches, the auction and awards happen so we are in position.
Point out key guests
A list of honorees, major donors and sponsors helps us make sure they are photographed.
Decide on photo permissions
Let guests know the event is photographed, and tell us about anyone who prefers not to be on camera.
