The Secret Ingredient to a Great Company Picnic? Professional Photos
Summer picnics are a staple for many companies in the Bay Area, and for good reason — it’s a time to relax, bond with coworkers, and enjoy the beautiful weather. But while everyone’s enjoying the day, it’s easy to forget to capture the fun and the memories. That’s where I come in. I’m a corporate event photographer who specializes in capturing the energy, personality, and team spirit of your event — without getting in the way. Think of me as your stealth memory-maker.
Here’s why hiring a professional photographer for your company party makes sense:
1. Everyone Stays in the Moment — Including You
You shouldn’t have to assign a team member to snap phone pics all day. Let your employees relax and actually enjoy the event. I’ll take care of the photos — and make them look amazing while I’m at it.
2. You’ll Have Content You Can Actually Use
These aren’t just fun photos for a Slack channel. They're vibrant, on-brand images you can use on your website, in recruiting materials, annual reports, or across social media. Celebrate your culture with visuals that show who you really are.
3. Real Candid Moments
From tug-of-war champs to coworkers deep in conversation, I capture real moments as they unfold. The laughs, the games, the side-eye during karaoke — all of it.
4. Your Company Culture, On Display
Photos aren’t just about who was there — they tell a story. I focus on what makes your team your team. Whether it’s quirky traditions, food trucks, or fierce cornhole rivalries, I make sure your company culture shines through.
5. Highlight Team Building Activities
Picnics often include fun, team-building activities. Whether it’s a tug-of-war or a casual game of volleyball, I focus on getting candid shots of teams working together, which truly reflects your company culture.
6. Document the Small Details
The small details — from picnic tables to catered snacks and colorful decorations — add personality to your photos. These are the moments that make your event unique, and I make sure to capture them in every shot.
7. Mix Formal and Candid Shots
While candid shots capture the informal fun of the day, formal group photos provide a great keepsake for your team. I’ll balance both types of photography to give you a well-rounded set of images.
8. Authentic Employee Interaction
Whether it’s conversations, laughter, or moments of relaxation, capturing employees engaging with each other adds a personal touch to your event photos.
9. Catch the People You Rarely See
In today’s hybrid world, company picnics might be one of the few times your whole team is in one place — including remote employees or those usually traveling. I make sure no one gets left out of the memories.
10. Bonus: Beautiful Family Photos
Many summer events are open to families, and for some, this might be the only time they get a high-quality photo with their spouse or kids. I always keep an eye out for those sweet family moments — the kind people will actually print and frame.
So, What Makes Me Different?
I’m not just someone with a camera. I specialize in corporate events — which means I know how to blend in, get the right shots quickly, and adapt to fast-moving, unpredictable outdoor settings. I bring a friendly, professional presence to your event, and I understand the balance between fun and professional.
Whether you're hosting a 50-person team picnic or a 500-guest summer bash, I’ve got the gear, experience, and eye for the details that matter. Your summer picnic isn’t just about getting out of the office — it’s about celebrating your team and the hard work you all do together. Having those memories documented in beautiful photos means you’ll always have something to look back on and remember the good times. Have a corporate picnic coming up?
