Event photography in Chicago

Whether it is a conference, a trade show stand, a product launch or an awards night in Chicago, the job is the same: be in the right place for the moments you will want afterwards. We brief your photographer on the speakers, sponsors and people who matter before they arrive.

If you need more than one photographer - parallel sessions, a big floor, an evening event after a day of talks - tell us in your brief and we will quote for the right number rather than stretch one person across the whole thing.

How It Works

Our growth-focused team of global event video ninjas will guide you through the following process:

  1. 1

    The Brief πŸ“Tell us where, when, and what. Whether it’s a keynote in London, a panel in New York, or a client testimonial in Singapore, we’ve got boots on the ground.

  2. 2

    The Shoot πŸŽ₯A Fame-vetted videographer arrives on site. They don't just stand there; they understand B2B angles, audio hygiene, and how to capture content that converts.

  3. 3

    The Assets πŸš€We don't just dump raw files on you (unless you want us to). We deliver polished, brand-ready assets within 48 hours so you can promote the event while the buzz is still fresh.

What we do

Why We’re Different

  • Speed. Edited assets delivered in 48 hours.

    Slow Turnaround. You get footage weeks later.

  • Operational Excellence. We handle the brief, shoot, and delivery.

    Logistical Nightmare. You have to chase them for files.

  • Vetted Pros. Top 1% of video event specialists.

    Inconsistent Quality. Good luck with the lighting.

  • B2B Specialists. They treat your CEO like a thought leader.

    Wedding Shooters. They treat your CEO like a bride.

  • One Vendor. One invoice. Any city.

    Rolodex Roulette. You need a new contact for every city.

  • Managed Network. If Plan A fails, we have a Plan B ready.

    Solo Operators. If they get the flu, you get ghosted.

Happy Clients

Jemma Stevens Client Partner

"Amazing πŸ˜€ Will definitely keep you in mind for upcoming shoots, would love to work together again!"

We worked with Jemma to capture content for a number of events in Los Angeles surrounding a new product launch. Our crew member Angelou and his assistant covered all events, capturing compelling video and epic photos to ensure the impact of the campaign lasts long past the end of the event. The result? Epic content for an epic business.
