Why book us for private function
Gala-standard, family-warm
We bring two decades of corporate gala experience to private celebrations — relaxed guests, unobtrusive coverage and images that look like they belong in a magazine.
Nothing missed
Speeches, the cake, grandparents with grandchildren, the surprise moment — we arrive early, learn who matters and work to a shot list we agree with you beforehand.
Shared within a day
Your gallery arrives within 24 hours, so the photos are shared while the celebration is still fresh — not three weeks later.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a private function photographer cost in Johannesburg?
From R3,450 excluding VAT for three hours of coverage and a fully edited 24-hour gallery. Additional hours are quoted per hour, and travel is free within 40 km of Sandton CBD.
What kinds of private functions do you photograph?
Milestone birthdays, retirement dinners, anniversaries, family reunions, engagement celebrations and private award or farewell dinners. We do not photograph weddings or matric dances, so our calendar stays open for celebrations like yours.
Do you photograph evening functions in low light?
Yes. Most private functions happen in the evening in restaurants, homes or marquees. We use fast lenses and controlled, discreet lighting so the room keeps its atmosphere without a wall of flash.
How do we book and what deposit is required?
Send your date, venue and guest numbers through our booking form. A 30% deposit secures the date and the balance is due after delivery of your gallery.
