The Process
Consultation / Booking
Every event photographer (or every good one) starts off with a consultation - and I’m no exception. We’ll review your goals, venue, and must-capture moments, along with packages, timelines, and special requests like same-day turnaround or multi-day coverage. Once everything is tailored to your needs, we’ll confirm with a straightforward booking agreement to secure your date.
Pre-Event and Shot list
Great event photography is intentional. Before your date, I work with you or your planner to create a tailored shot list—corporate moments like speakers and networking, or private highlights like décor, portraits, and dance floors. For NYC venues, I also scout lighting, backgrounds, and timing to prepare.
Event Day Coverage
On the final day, I arrive early to prepare and work discreetly while capturing both major highlights and candid interactions. New York City event photography moves very quickly, with lighting shifting from ballrooms to rooftops. With professional gear and experience, I adapt seamlessly to ensure every important moment is beautifully documented.
Post Production
After your event, each image is carefully reviewed for color, lighting, and composition. My style is clean and timeless, preserving the true atmosphere without trendy filters. Corporate clients often request highlight photos within 24–48 hours for press or internal use, and I’m always happy to deliver quickly.
Why this matters
Your full gallery is delivered digitally through a private, password-protected platform. From there, you can download images in high resolution for print or web-optimized versions for social media. If needed, I can also create curated collections for press kits, marketing campaigns, or personal albums. My goal is to make your event images not just something you look at once, but something you use again and again to extend the impact.
Final Deliverables
Professional event photography preserves moments that would otherwise be forgotten. High-quality images capture the energy, people, and details of your NYC event, creating lasting memories and valuable marketing assets. Investing in an experienced NYC event photographer ensures your story is told clearly, beautifully, and ready to share.

About The Photographer
Since 2013, Joe Jenkins Photography has specialized in capturing events of every scale across New York City—from Fortune 500 corporate galas to intimate private celebrations. With over a decade of experience, I’ve built a reputation as a trusted event photographer, hired by clients like Google, YouTube, Docusign, Oxford University, Jeff Bezos, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Whether you’re planning a conference, a brand activation, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, I bring the same level of professionalism and creativity to every assignment.
Experience Across Every Type
New York moves fast, and after photographing hundreds of functions, I’ve learned how to anticipate the moments that matter most. I’ve captured the president of Samsung North America throwing the first pitch at Citi Field in front of 60,000 attendees, and I’ve documented intimate rooftop anniversaries in Brooklyn with just 20 guests. I’ve photographed more conference headshots than I can count, documented weddings at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and covered fireside chats with Fortune 500 CEOs at the Rainbow Room.
My portfolio also spans private dinners at The Grill, charity galas at The GlassHouse, golf outings at Shinnecock Hills, and countless family gatherings in NYC lofts, townhouses, and private residences. No matter the setting—ballroom, rooftop, or boardroom—I know how to adapt to the lighting, atmosphere, and energy of the event.
Why Hire?
Hiring an event photographer isn’t just about getting pictures—it’s about working with someone who understands how to document the energy while staying unobtrusive. My work blends candid moments, striking portraits, and detail-rich storytelling, ensuring your event is remembered long after the last guest leaves.
