Holiday party photography and videography in Connecticut

Holiday parties bring people together at the busiest time of year. We capture the decorations, the traditions and the laughter, whether it is a family gathering or a team celebration.

About holiday parties coverage

A holiday party might be a large family dinner, a neighborhood open house or a company event with awards and a toast. Each has its own traditions, from a tree lighting and a gift exchange to a menorah blessing or a New Year's countdown.

We work around the flow of the evening and the lighting in the room, which is often dim and festive. That means thinking ahead about where people will gather and when the best moments will happen.

Moments we cover at holiday parties

  • The decorated space

    Trees, lights, tables and centerpieces, photographed before guests settle in.

  • Arrivals and greetings

    Coats, hugs, wrapped gifts and the first drink of the night.

  • Traditions and rituals

    A blessing, a candle lighting, a sing-along or a family tradition handed down through the years.

  • Gift exchanges and games

    Secret Santa, white elephant or children opening their presents.

  • The toast and the countdown

    A speech from the host, an awards moment at a company party or the final cheer at midnight.

Planning tips

  • Tell us the schedule and any traditions

    Knowing when the toast, gift exchange or special ritual happens means we will be in the right spot.

  • Plan for the lighting

    Warm, low lighting looks lovely but is hard to shoot in. Tell us if the room will be very dim so we can prepare.

  • For company parties, share who needs to be photographed

    Award winners, leaders and special guests are easier to find with a short list.

Photography and videography for holiday parties

    We photograph holiday parties so you remember the feel of the season, not just the faces. The light, the decorations and the people all play their part.

    Holiday traditions are full of sound, from carols and blessings to the shouting of a countdown. Video keeps the sound of your gathering and the voices of the people in it.

Common questions

Do you book up early for holiday season dates?

December is popular, so it helps to reach out as soon as you have a date in mind. We will let you know about availability.

Do you cover both private and corporate holiday parties?

Yes. We shape the coverage to suit either, from a family dinner to a company celebration with awards and speeches.
