event photography
Capturing special gatherings
Event photography is the practice of documenting gatherings—weddings, concerts, corporate functions, parties, sporting events.
The event photographer captures candid moments and formal shots as they happen, working within the constraints of lighting, crowds, and unpredictable timing: She does event photography on weekends.
The term distinguishes this work from studio portraiture or commercial shoots.
