Fifteen years shooting conferences, summits, headshots, and corporate events in Austin. If you're bringing an event into the city, we already know the room. Edited images inside 48 hours as standard, with next-day and same-day highlights available when the timing matters.
Austin is home. We've shot extensively at the Fairmont, the JW Marriott, the Hyatt Regency, Lost Pines, Palmer, the Driskill, and most of the ballrooms and restaurants in between. We know where the best shots in the ballrooms are, where the sun is going to set for the best rooftop cocktail hour lighting angles, and which corner of the Fairmont ballroom floors have the best headshot station.
Whatever the format, the standard is the same: images your marketing team will still be using next year.
"He got every shot we asked for and then some. He even went above and beyond and sent some of his favorite shots to us during the event itself. I HIGHLY recommend Jim Stone. Pay the man. We're glad we did."
"Super responsive during the planning process and very professional on-site. He ensured that he fully understood our needs. The photographs from the event turned out great."
"He produces very high quality imagery despite the lighting challenges of indoor corporate events, which are many. I now have a beautiful portfolio of imagery to work from. 10 out of 10."
What planners ask us most about photographing events in Austin.
Most of the ones you are considering. The Fairmont, Four Seasons, JW Marriott, the Austin Convention Center, Palmer Events Center, Moody Center, ACL Live, the Driskill, Hotel Van Zandt, Commodore Perry Estate, Omni Barton Creek, Hyatt Lost Pines, Miraval and Circuit of the Americas among others. If you name a room, we can usually tell you where the light falls in it.
A run-of-show and fifteen minutes on the phone. A lot of our work is organizers running a multi-day event in a city they do not live in, coordinating a venue they have never seen. We aim to be the part of the week you do not have to think about.
Generally yes, and it matters more than people expect. Where the risers go, which ballrooms have usable ambient light and which are lit entirely by stage wash, where you can stand during a keynote without walking through the projector beam. That knowledge is why the images come back consistent.
More than most people expect. Keynotes rarely compete with anything else, and concurrent breakouts can be worked more effectively than a single-room assumption suggests. We go through the schedule with you and flag real conflicts in advance.
Every year. Brand houses, step-and-repeats, panels and premieres. SXSW is its own animal in terms of crowds, permissions and timing, and it helps to work with someone who has done it before.
Yes, and Austin conferences are where this lands best. Twenty to thirty people an hour, each person gets their gallery by email within minutes, one retouched image included.
Edited images land inside 48 hours as standard. 24-hour delivery is available, and key frames can go straight from the camera to your comms team while the event is still running.
It depends on hours on site, concurrent coverage and whether you want headshots. Send us the dates and the agenda and we will come back with real options, typically within 24 hours.
Share the dates, venue, and what you need covered, and we'll send a real number. We typically reply within 24 hours.
