About this work

Event coverage means working fast and reading the energy.

Whether it's a product launch, a milestone birthday, a non-profit gala, or a corporate offsite, event coverage is about being present without being seen. Same-day social clips are available as an add-on, so you have something to post that night.

I've documented over 200 events. I know how to find the moment, work fast, and not get in the way. Your event runs on its own energy. My job is to capture it without disrupting it.

“Paul saved the day for our family! We had our original photographer for daughter's quinceañera cancel on us week of- thankfully Paul was available. He was prompt and took the most incredible photos and great videos! Paul was mindful of the guests too- stayed in the background and out of the way.”
