Event Coverage

Your event is worth
documenting.

The right coverage turns a single night into content that works for you for months afterward, social posts, website assets, highlights for your next promotion. Whether you're running a product launch at a local brewery, a corporate mixer, a community fundraiser, or a live music show, we show up ready to capture it well.

We cover events with both video and photography, so you can walk away with a complete set of assets: a polished recap film, ready-to-share social clips, and clean photo selects that tell the full story of the night. One crew, one shoot, everything you need.

How Pricing Works

We charge by the hour of total work, and that means all the work, including editing time. The rate is $100/hr and we build the full estimate before you book so there are no surprises on the invoice.

Here's what that looks like in practice: a two-hour concert might require three to four hours of editing for a finished recap video. A half-day corporate event with multiple speakers might carry six to eight hours of editing behind it. We'll give you a realistic total, time on-site plus estimated editing, so you can make an informed decision before you commit.

For photo-only coverage, editing time is lighter. For video, turnaround depends on scope, but most event recaps are delivered within two weeks. Photo selects are typically ready within one week.

Common Questions

Before you
reach out.

How do you estimate the total hours before I book?

We ask about your event type, expected duration, and what you want as a finished product. From there we give you a range: X hours on-site, estimated Y hours of editing, total estimate of Z hours at $100/hr. If the actual edit takes longer than estimated, we'll flag it before going over, not after. We want the number to be predictable.

Can I book video only, or photo only?

Yes to both. You can book video coverage, photo coverage, or both together. Many clients opt for both since it's one shoot day and you walk away with a complete content package. But if you only need one or the other, that's completely fine, just let us know in the inquiry form.

Do you travel for events outside of Asheville?

Yes. We cover events throughout western North Carolina, Black Mountain, Weaverville, Brevard, Hendersonville, and further out. Travel beyond a 30-mile radius of Asheville may be billed separately. Let us know where your event is and we'll include any travel in your upfront estimate.

How long until I receive the finished video?

Most event recap videos are delivered within two weeks of the event date. Larger productions with more footage may take slightly longer. We'll give you a specific delivery window when we send your estimate, and we stick to it.

Can I use the video and photos on social media and my website?

Yes, full usage rights are included. Use everything we deliver wherever you need it: social media, your website, paid advertising, email marketing, digital displays. There are no licensing restrictions or platform limitations. The content is yours.

What if my event goes longer than planned?

On-site time is billed at the same $100/hr rate. If your event runs long and you want us to stay, we'll stay, we'll just note the additional time. We don't walk out when the clock hits the original estimate. We communicate and make sure you're aware before anything changes.
