EVENT FAQs
Do you Travel?
YES! We are located in the North Bay Area but travel often to various locations on assignment. Travel fees may apply depending on the location where you plan to have your event however we will certainly travel to you! Send us a quick inquiry here on our site and we can discuss the details!
Do you only use digital cameras?
Our equipment of choice for event photography is digital however we also have various 35mm film and medium format cameras available. Selecting the use of film for you event is a great way to get creative and make your day even more unique as this format provides a much different look compared to digital. If you have any questions or are interested in including this in your package, please feel free to chat with us about it.
How do I book an event with CHROME Visual Co.?
Great question! Hop over to our CONTACT page and fill out a contact form with your information. We normally reply within the hour during business hours and within 12 hours nights and holidays.
What would you say is your style when photographing events?
Our style here at CVC very much captures moments otherwise missed if you don’t pay the right attention. We love candid images that highlight people in their element and enjoying the moment. Setup and “SMILE!” shots are necessary and important to document the event (We will capture these - don’t worry!) however we lean heavily towards emotion and “at the right place/right time” moments.
How long does it take to receive my images?
We pride ourselves in a very quick turnaround time when it comes to delivering finishing high resolution photographs. Events are time sensitive and I understand that you and your guests are itching to see the photos! We like to deliver a finished product within 48-72 hours following the event.
**This may take longer depending on the size of the project
Do you offer prints or albums?
CVC would love to make your images into tangible prints or books! We use calibrated computer monitors and equipment to make sure your prints reflect accurate color and tones. Please note this in your inquiry email on our CONTACT page and we can discuss your needs!
How do you deliver digital photographs?
Once your photographs are ready to deliver, we upload high resolution files to DropBox. DropBox is a common file sharing site that allows photographers (and other professionals) to upload images and share links with clients. The private link sent to you will take you to an online gallery where you can view and download them as you please. We can also deliver a physical USB drive to you in person or by mail. We are here to make things easy for you so please let us know which you prefer!
How many images do you deliver after photographing an event?
This is a question we get a lot. We create a unique story of photographs with each event. That being said, no two stories are the same. We put a strong focus on quality and attention to detail during the event and during our edit. Typically, an average 4 hour event will yield about 150-200 images while a full wedding should be in the 400 image range.
*Again, this will vary but give you a good idea of the amount of photographs you will receive.
Shot List: We recommend sending over a “shot list” before the start of the event. This will give us an outline of that you would like to see in the finished set of photos. If you don’t have one, no worries! We will work with you to create one.
Can I share images on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc.) or online?
Of course! We would love for you to share you images with the world. We ask that you give credit where credit is due so please remember to tag @chromevisualco in your post!
