Event photography, without missing a moment. Coverage from $200 an hour, two hour minimum.
I photograph conferences, fundraisers, galas, and local celebrations across the Coachella Valley. You focus on hosting, I will take care of the photographs.
What I cover
You focus on hosting. I will take care of the photographs.
You focus on hosting. I work the room quietly and come away with the moments that actually happened: the speech landing, the crowd on their feet, the person who did not know I was there. Corporate, nonprofit, community and live music, across the whole valley.

How it works
How Coachella Valley event photography works
We plan the coverage
Email, text, or a call, whichever you prefer. We settle the run of show, the shots you cannot miss, and the hours.
On site
I arrive early, stay out of the way, and work the room as the event moves.
Private gallery
Edited images in 3 to 5 business days, hosted six months. A private link rather than a public page, and yours to share with your team, your board or the press.
Investment
$200 per hour, two hour minimum
Add-ons: additional hours at $200, rush delivery in 24 to 48 hours for $300.
Ribbon cutting or grand opening
$200 flat, 1 hour
Next business day delivery. These run about an hour and the photos are usually wanted while the opening is still news, so they are priced on their own rather than against the two hour minimum.
- On location coverage at your venue
- Professional editing and color correction
- Private online gallery, hosted six months, shareable by link
- High resolution digital downloads
- Planning by email, text or call, your choice
Questions
Event photography questions
How much does event photography cost?
Event coverage starts at $200 per hour with a two hour minimum. Additional hours are $200 each, and rush delivery in 24 to 48 hours is available for $300. Ribbon cuttings and grand openings are a flat $200 for one hour, delivered the next business day.
What kinds of events do you cover?
Ribbon cuttings, grand openings, conferences, mixers, festivals, fundraisers, galas, community events and celebrations for businesses and nonprofits across the Coachella Valley. I also shoot live music and bands, which is some of my favorite work to do.
How long until I get my photos?
Edited images are delivered in 3 to 5 business days. Need them faster? Rush delivery in 24 to 48 hours is available for $300.
Do you have a rate for ribbon cuttings?
Yes. A ribbon cutting or grand opening is a flat $200 for one hour on site, with photos delivered the next business day. Most of these run about an hour and the business wants the images while the opening is still news, so the two hour minimum did not fit them.
What's included in event coverage?
On-location coverage at your venue, professional editing and color correction, a private online gallery hosted for six months, high-resolution digital downloads, and planning beforehand by email, text or call.
Do you photograph live music and bands?
Yes, and I enjoy it. Low light, fast movement and no second takes make it the most demanding thing I shoot, which is exactly why I like it. Tell me the venue and the set times and I will tell you honestly what is achievable in that room.
What areas do you cover?
The whole Coachella Valley. I shoot event photography regularly in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, Indio, Cathedral City, and Desert Hot Springs, and I am happy to travel anywhere in the valley at no extra charge. There is a page for each city below with what changes there and what it means for your photos.
- Event photography in Palm SpringsMid-century architecture, downtown condos and a tourism economy that runs year round.
- Event photography in Palm DesertEl Paseo, country clubs and a professional base that skews established.
