Christmas Party Photography
The whole team, together.
The Christmas party is often the one night of the year when the whole team is in the same room. It's worth having a photographer there.
Relaxed photographs of a good night
Christmas parties work best with a light touch. Nobody wants to be organised into lines all evening, but most people are happy to have a good photograph taken with their colleagues early on, before the night gets going.
I usually start with a team or department photograph and a simple photo area for guests, then move around the room capturing the speeches, the meal, the music and the dancing as it happens.
The photographs can be shared with staff afterwards and used for internal newsletters, recruitment and social media.

For organisers
Book early for December
Most Christmas parties fall on the same few Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in late November and December, so those dates go first. If you know your date, it’s worth getting in touch early.
If you also need updated staff headshots, it’s sometimes possible to combine both on the same day while everyone is in one place.
Questions
How long should we book you for?
Two to three hours covers most Christmas parties, from arrivals and team photographs through to the speeches and the start of the dancing.
Can you take photographs at our office before we head out?
Yes. Some companies like a team photograph at the office in daylight, followed by coverage of the party itself.
