5 Reasons to Invest in Event Photography (Even for Small Events)

Hiring a professional photographer for a big wedding or a corporate gala makes sense; in fact, you’ve probably already done it. Most of us have for one occasion or another. However, an event doesn’t need to be big to be special or meaningful. Size doesn’t matter when it comes to milestone birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, anniversary dinners, school events, nonprofit fundraisers, or even a cozy open house at your business.  

Consider this quote by Andrew Michael Ramsay: “Great events are the hour-hands of time, while small events mark the minutes.” Never heard of him? We hadn’t either, but Google tells us he was a pretty big deal writer in Scotland during the 1600s. 

If you ask our team, Ramsay was onto something. We believe every event, no matter how small, deserves to be documented with intention and an eye for those meaningful moments you’ll remember long after. 

While we’re proud to be professional wedding photographers in New England, we’re just as pumped to be a part of something just as valuable, but understated. 

For those of you who have been on the fence about whether it’s worth it to hire a photographer for your more “casual” or intimate occasion, we’ve got five compelling reasons to say yes.
