Event Photography In Santa Clara

Event Photography In Santa Clara | Saanvi’s 2nd Birthday

Kid’s birthday’s are an important milestone that is definitely worth photographing. Whether they are turning one year old, or it is a second birthday – documenting the party is really important. While it may not seem important at the time, these are images you will look back on for years to come 🙂 Saanvi’s birthday party was at one of the best locations for event photography in Santa Clara – Sakoon Restaurant. Here are some of the images we captured and the four things I focus on when shooting a birthday party.

Pictures of The Decorations And Food

One of the most important images that I look to capture are images of all of the decorations. These images are best to have taken before guests arrive. For parties, I prefer to show up around 15-20 minutes before you are expecting guests to start arriving. This is plenty of time to get images of the decorations, shots of the venue, and anything else that you have spent time and money on for the party. After I have photographed all of the decorations, I can then focus on getting candid images of you interacting with your guests as they arrive.

Candid Pictures of You Interacting With Your Guests

Most of the images I look to capture, for birthdays and events, are candid moments between you and your guests. For these images, there is no need to be looking at the camera 🙂 I’ll move around the venue and capture all of these moments without you noticing.

Posed Pictures With The Birthday Boy/Girl And Friends & Family

While most of the images we look to capture will be candid, posed pictures of you, the birthday boy/girl, and your friends & family are really important. These images can be taken at the beginning or the end of the party. I would recommend taking these towards the middle of the event. This way you will have more than enough time to get all of the groupings before the Photographer has to leave. Especially if your child is still at an age where they take naps, they may be tired by the end of the party and will not want to take too many pictures.

Cutting The Cake And Blowing Out Of The Candles

Of course, getting images of the family cutting the cake with the birthday boy/girl is really important. Images of not only this, but any other planned event – such as games and other ceremonies should be photographed.

If you are planning a party, having a Photographer there to capture the event is really important 🙂 The best way to reach me is through the contact form on my website. Thanks!
