Conferences, launches, awards and team occasions photographed with the people and your business brief in mind.
For the people planning the event
At Softwire’s AI conference I photographed the talks, audience and conversations between sessions. For Redrow Eastern’s charity gala, I took group portraits at the branded backdrop and covered the auction and live band.
I cover conferences, launches, awards and team events across Essex and London. Share your running order and the people, groups or sponsor details you need photographed. I’ll select and edit the photographs and send a private gallery with full-quality downloads, usually within 7–10 working days.
If you need photographs for press or social media sooner, tell me which images you need and when. We can agree a deadline for a small edited selection or discuss a rush on the full gallery.
For staff profile photographs, see my headshot photography. For coverage costs, see my event price list.
A selection of real business-event moments: conversation, a speaker, an evening reception and the atmosphere around the main programme. Open any photograph for a closer look.
At the Dune London store opening at Lakeside, the photographs brought together the retail setting, launch details and people exploring the store. The brief needed more than a record of who attended.
For a different setting, see ebm-papst UK’s anniversary celebration in Chelmsford, including family activities and long-service recognition.
A charity gala at Hatfield Place bringing local tradespeople and developers together, with arrival portraits, fundraising, live music and plenty of laughter around the tables.

From a corporate festival
Freya’s feedback is from Softwire’s corporate festival.
★★★★★
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jonathan for our corporate festival, and he was fantastic from start to finish! He captured the atmosphere, energy and all the little moments of the event so beautifully. The photos are amazing and really bring the whole weekend back to life. Would 100% recommend!

The person behind the camera
I’m Jonathan. I have photographed people professionally since 2003, and I am used to working around the pace of an event. For a business booking, that means listening to your brief, spotting what matters as the day unfolds and staying unobtrusive when the room needs to focus on a speaker or conversation.
20+ years photographing people
DBS checked
Public liability insured
Send the date, venue or town, approximate hours and the kind of event. A rough running order or priority-shot list is helpful if you have one, but you can enquire before every detail is final.
I’ll check availability and quote for the coverage you need. We can talk through speakers, sponsors, groups, branded details, press deadlines and any agreed confidentiality or embargo before the event.
I photograph the event, select and edit the strongest images, then send a private, password-protected gallery. Standard full-gallery delivery is 7–10 working days depending on workload at the time.
Simple coverage, tailored to your schedule
Corporate events use my standard event photography prices. One hour starts at £150; two hours are £230, four hours £380 and eight hours £650. Coverage includes selection and editing, with a private online gallery for full-quality downloads. Share the schedule and I’ll recommend the duration that fits, whether it is a short launch or a longer conference.

After the event
You can use the photographs for your website, social channels, press coverage, recruitment, internal updates and event promotion under the standard business licence. If a sponsor or partner needs images, tell me who will use them and how. Larger campaigns or unrelated third-party advertising can be agreed separately.
Priority Select Delivery. If you need up to ten edited photographs for a press or social deadline, tell me which shots you need and when. I’ll agree the timing with you before booking. This includes an extra working hour for selecting, editing and delivery. Your photography coverage and the deadline for the remaining gallery stay as agreed.
Full-gallery rush. If you need the complete edited gallery sooner, I can deliver it within three working days for £100 when agreed before booking.
Conferences, seminars, networking receptions, awards evenings, launches, exhibitions, team days and similar business events are all within scope. Tell me what is planned and I can advise on the coverage.
Yes. I can work with your marketing or events team, a running order, priority people and relevant brand guidance. A short briefing helps me balance the formal moments with the atmosphere around them.
Yes. I photograph speakers, audience reactions, conversations and event details as the programme allows. If you need group photographs or particular people covered, put them in the brief so I can make time for them.
Corporate events use the standard event price structure: one hour £150, two hours £230, four hours £380 and eight hours £650. The full event photography prices show the other durations. I can quote against your timings and requirements.
The complete edited gallery normally arrives within 7–10 working days depending on workload at the time. If you have an earlier press or campaign deadline, ask about Priority Select Delivery for up to ten images or the separate £100 three-working-day full-gallery option. Timing for priority images is agreed in advance.
I send a private, password-protected online gallery. You can download individual images or the complete gallery at full quality, and share the link and password with colleagues you want to give access to the photographs.
Yes. The standard business licence covers your own website, social media, PR, recruitment, internal communications and event promotion. Event-related sharing with relevant partners and sponsors is permitted. Please discuss larger campaigns, unrelated third-party advertising, resale or image-library use before using the images that way.
Yes. Tell me about confidentiality or embargo requirements before the event. We can agree restrictions on my portfolio or marketing use for sensitive work.
I hold £5 million public liability insurance and £1 million professional indemnity insurance for my photography business. I can provide a current certificate to a venue or organiser on request.
Yes. Detailed retouching beyond my normal edit is available at £25 per selected corporate image. More extensive work can be discussed and quoted separately.
The date, venue or town, approximate start and finish times and type of event are enough to start. Add any key moments, group photographs, brand requirements or urgent image deadlines you already know. Send the details through my booking form.
