Live Delivery
Your keynote, on your feed, before the applause ends
Most photographers deliver in days. I deliver in minutes. With Live Delivery, edited, full-resolution photos flow straight from my camera to your team while the event is still happening: the keynote hits your LinkedIn while the speaker is still on stage, the award moment posts before the winner sits back down.
Here's how it works: as I shoot, every frame transmits wirelessly to an editor who processes and distributes in near-real time. You are not getting rushed phone snaps; you are getting finished, edited photography at social-media speed. It is an uncommon service, and the teams who add it once ask for it by name the next time.

Questions, answered
- How much does an event photographer cost in San Diego?
- Encore Images publishes San Diego event rates at $1,195 half day and $1,980 full day so marketing teams can budget before the call. For corporate work, expect roughly $250 to $500 per hour from experienced shooters, usually sold in half-day and full-day blocks.
- How fast do we get photos after a corporate event?
- Curated selects can land the same day, including before a closing recap slide, and the full edited gallery follows inside 48 hours. Need faster? Live Delivery puts edited photos in your team's hands while the session is still running.
- What is included in half-day vs full-day coverage?
- Half day coverage is $1,195 and full day is $1,980, with multi-day conventions quoted so your budget meeting has a real number. Both include a private online gallery and commercial usage license.
- Do you cover the San Diego Convention Center?
- Convention Center jobs are routine here, and traveling events are welcome when clients refuse to rebrief a new shooter in every city. EAC credentialing and COI paperwork are handled in-house. At McKesson ideaShare 2022, the headshot station alone put 524 finished headshots through in two days at the SDCC.
- How much should a photographer charge for an event?
- Enough to cover the two costs clients forget: editing time (typically an hour per hour shot) and the insurance and gear that venue COI requirements make mandatory. Quotes far below market usually mean one of those is missing.
- How far in advance should we book?
- For San Diego convention season (roughly September through June), 2 to 3 months is comfortable. Short notice is worth asking about anyway; calendars have gaps.
