Plan the photos and video before the moment moves.

Good coverage starts with a clear plan—not a complicated one.

The most useful event gallery or highlight video does more than show who attended. It preserves the people, energy, setting, and moments that mattered when the room was full.

For Fairfield and Solano County events, the best first step is simple: share the date, venue or general location, event type, guest count, schedule, and what you want to remember most. That gives OND enough context to recommend the right coverage without making you build a production plan yourself.

What to share when you request coverage

• Date and coverage window. Include the time guests arrive, key moments, and the approximate finish.
• Location and event type. A backyard party, ballroom celebration, live venue, and outdoor festival all move differently.
• Your priority moments. Entrances, speeches, performances, family portraits, a surprise, or the crowd energy.
• Whether you need photo, video, or both. This shapes the scope and the best way to cover the event.
• Any deadline. Tell us if images or a short recap are needed for an announcement, press, or social post.

Book when you can—ask even when the date is close.

Earlier requests give everyone more room to plan, especially for multi-part celebrations and events with a fixed program. But short-notice event requests are welcome when availability allows. The useful thing is to ask with the details instead of assuming the date is too close.

Think in moments, not just poses.

Formal group photos matter, but they should not be the entire story. The frames people keep returning to are often the entrance, the reaction across the room, a grandparent watching, the musician between songs, the hands in the air, or the quiet reset before the next moment. Letting the photographer know what matters to you helps create a fuller record of the day.

A simple coverage timeline

1. Before guests arrive: room, decor, and establishing details.
2. Opening: arrivals, greetings, and the first energy of the event.
3. Key moments: performances, speeches, ceremonies, presentations, and group portraits.
4. The atmosphere: candid guests, food, movement, production detail, and the environment.
5. The finish: final moments and any send-off, performance, or closing tradition.
