It’s very important to me that you love what you get.
“Paul, Thank you for capturing all the great moments of our Gatsby Night perfectly for us. You are a star!” Luci Black, Full Moon Hotel
Below is a collection of photos from the Full Moon Hotel’s Gatsby Swing Dance Party -a night time event. See here how your photos will be delivered to you in an online gallery that you can easily share on line or via email.
Usually at an event such as this -or your event – I will come as ‘Paul, the cameraman with the hat’ as seen on my Sandgate Guide Page ‘Out and About with Photographer Paul Neil’.
As such, I like to see myself as working with the event organisers team and playing my part in making the event a great night and experience for everyone who attends.
I like to think of my role or ‘character’ as the ‘cameraman with the hat’ as part of the entertainment – a bit like a party paparazzi that everyone knows, trusts and likes, which enhances the evening for everyone.
I dress smartly, with vintage hat and jacket, but will be noticeable as a camera man ‘character’.
During the evening I will sweep around the event, approaching all groups, and request a photo in my normal polite and charming but confident and assertive manner.
It’s all a bit of fun and loads of laughs (hardly anyone ever feels they have been interrupted or says no). Before they know it I have their photo and I have moved on to the next group.
WiT Awards Event
“We would without hesitation recommend Paul as a photographer for any event. He creates an instant and comfortable rapport which continues through the night with your guests. He blends in with the crowd in a very unobtrusive way makes it feel like he is part of the party…loved having you there Paul!”
Lisa Cawthorne, Operations Manager, Women in Technology
I have included here the full set of 380 photos delivered to the WiT event organisers.
A small set was on social media within a day for all attendees and others to enjoy while everyone was still on a high from the fabulous event.
Many of these photos were excitedly shared by organisers, attendees, family and friends all over the world in the days following the awards evening.
One of my special skills is dance floor photos so if you have dancing at your event I will be out there boogeying with you and getting the best dance pics ever.
Here is my collection of pics from the Dance Through The Decades fund raiser event at Saint Patrick’s College Shorncliffe. The photos show how much fun the evening was.
Please ring me on 0449 660 473 if you have any questions or want to discuss photography for an event you have coming up. I like to talk to people!
What happens if things don’t go according to plan?
Life is full of surprises, and while we do what we can to make sure everything is perfect, there’s always the remote chance that something can go off-script on the day of your event.
But what happens in the unlikely event that something does go wrong? Maybe you have to cancel your event at the last minute, or perhaps the weather isn’t optimal for one reason or another.
When choosing your photographer, this is one of the most important questions you can ask because the answer will reveal a lot.
Obviously, no photographer can know in advance with 100% certainty that the photographs will all turn out perfectly.
Therefore, you must protect yourself in the unlikely event that things don’t go the way you expected—even if nothing major happens but you’re just not in love with the final results.
This is where a guarantee can alleviate any chance of anxiety.
Your photographer should proudly stand behind their work with a guarantee that makes sure you get the photography you deserve.
You deserve to have the comfort and peace of mind of an ironclad guarantee in the event that you aren’t 100% thrilled with your photographs.
Even the way the photographer answers this question and their tone of voice are crucial.
If they don’t come right out and confidently tell you about their guarantee, if they mumble, hesitate, or offer something vague, then hang up the phone immediately and find someone else who will truly put their heart and soul into everything they do for you.
Never hire a photographer who doesn’t offer a 100% money-back guarantee, and make sure that the guarantee is IN WRITING when you hire them.
