VENUES

After relocating to Los Angeles I now lead a collective of talented event photographers and videographers based in southern California. From Political and Business Conferences to Private Parties, Trade Shows, PR Events, and more we strive on documenting a wide variety and level of events. Partnering with Lake Effect Films has expanded our capabilities, allowing us to specialize in various larger multi-tiered events. Event photography in LA and Hollywood presents both challenges and rewards. From the glitzy sometimes chaotic red carpets in Hollywood to more relaxed vibes for gatherings in Santa Monica and Malibu we strive to capture the vibrancy and diversity Los Angeles offers. While LA is home base, we extend our services across the United States, collaborating with event organizers on both coasts to deliver dynamic photography or videography. We take pride in providing clients with high-quality images that can elevate their events, brands, and organizational profiles.

At our company, we pride ourselves on our extensive event photography experience at a wide variety of venues in and around Los Angeles. Whether you're planning a corporate event, or special occasion, we have the knowledge and expertise to capture all the important moments.

The hotel features stunning architecture and landscaping, making it a perfect backdrop for any event. The Beverly Wilshire Hotel, a landmark hotel that has been featured in movies such as Pretty Woman, offers elegant and sophisticated event spaces. The Four Seasons Beverly Hills is another luxurious hotel that offers a variety of event spaces, including a rooftop terrace with views of the city. The Beverly Hilton, a hotel and conference center located on Wilshire Boulevard, is also a popular event venue with multiple ballrooms, meeting rooms, and outdoor spaces.

We have also photographed events at the Hillcrest Country Club, Mr. C Beverly Hills, L'Ermitage Beverly Hills, the Ace Hotel, the SLS Hotel and the London Hotel, the California Club, the Peninsula hotel, LA live, the JW Marriot, the Los Angeles Convention Center.
