Hidden costs to ask about before booking a corporate event

Most disappointment around corporate event pricing doesn’t come from the headline figure. It comes later, from an extra that shows up after the booking is confirmed.

The ones worth asking about directly: travel costs beyond a photographer’s usual radius, parking or congestion charges if you’re in central London, additional retouching once you’ve seen the full gallery, and rush fees if your deadline moves up. None of these are unreasonable to charge for, but they should be disclosed before you pay a deposit, not after.

At LemonShark Studio the quote for a corporate event (quoted per hours on the ground) is built to include everything discussed on the initial call, so there’s nothing left to discover later. If something changes on the day, that gets agreed with you before any extra work happens, not billed as a surprise afterwards.

FAQs

Straight answers below.

Can you work discreetly around a room full of clients?
Yes. Coverage stays quiet and unobtrusive, catching genuine moments rather than staging them, so guests and clients are never interrupted.

How fast can we get images after the event?
A same-week turnaround is standard, with same-night selects available for press-sensitive events on request.
