A few useful answers.
How much does awards night or gala dinner photography cost in Melbourne?
Corporate event photography in Melbourne starts at $600 + GST for one hour. Two hours is $900 + GST, four hours is $1,700 + GST and six hours is $2,300 + GST. Larger or multi-day events receive a custom quote. Coverage, inclusions and delivery timing are agreed before booking.
What will you photograph during the night?
Coverage can include arrivals, room and sponsor detail, guests at tables, speakers, entertainment, award presentations, winners, group photographs and natural reactions. Priorities are agreed from the run sheet before the event.
How quickly will we receive the photographs?
The delivery deadline is agreed before the event. If communications, media or social teams need selected images the same day or next morning, flag that in the enquiry so priority delivery can be planned and quoted.
Can our organisation use the photographs for marketing and PR?
Yes. Standard coverage includes commercial licensing for the client’s own marketing and communications, including websites, social media, PR, reports and internal communications.
What should we send before requesting a quote?
A date, venue, approximate coverage time and the current run sheet is enough to start. Add any priority people, presentation order, sponsor requirements or publishing deadlines you already know.
