Focused on what’s important for your company. Corporate event photographers or videographers must use a different strategy for non-business events. Colby’s Photos & Videos does not apply a cookie-cutter approach where they are wasting time covering the food or other frivolous elements.

How much do you charge for business event photography and videography?

How far in advance do I need to schedule you?
My team is made up of full-time professionals and we can accommodate almost any date or time. However, since you’re planning your event, it’s best to reach out to us early so we have time to coordinate.
What is your turnaround time?
We can accommodate just about any turnaround time. We can even print the photos onsite so attendees can take home souvenirs from your event. Also, we can socially stream the images for immediate use of the photos. Typical turnaround times for most events is seven days for every two hours of the company event. We often provide a handful of images you request within 24 hours for press release purposes but can be quicker if needed. Again, if you need them sooner, we can make it happen.

Additionally, if you’ve requested posed shots, we time them so that we don’t interfere with the flow of the event.
Do you take posed and candid shots?
Yes. We’ll work with you in advance of your event to create a plan for getting the images you want.

Do you do events outside of Knoxville?
Yes, I am a Knoxville corporate event photographer, but I also do corporate event photography throughout the state, including in Nashville and Chattanooga.
Who will be working the event?
Often it is Colby McLemore himself. Depending on the scope of the job, he may need the assistance of additional professionals.

In these cases, barring an emergency, you will be informed beforehand.
Can you provide headshot services during our event?
Yes, many clients want us to do portraits during their conventions or conferences because it is a convenient time when everyone is together.
