Newlands — leafy university suburb with rugby history and afternoon shade. Discreet event photography and videography that gives you a highlight reel the same night and a full gallery within 72 hours. Product launches, corporate conferences, brand activations, private dinners and press events — we work quietly, respect the run of show, and disappear when we're not needed.

Event Coverage in Newlands — the craft

Run of show and the shot list

Two days before the event we walk through the run of show with the client — every speaker slot, every product reveal, every award moment, every VIP arrival window. The shot list is built around that: the CEO's keynote gets three angles, the product reveal gets a slow-motion capture and a locked wide, the sponsor logos get considered coverage every 20 minutes so the recap deck fills without staged imagery, and the guest-experience moments — the arrival, the canapé pass, the after-party — get captured naturally without asking the guest to pose. Second-shooter briefings happen the same day so the two of us are never in the same corner missing opposite sides of the room.

Live socials and the same-night reel

For product launches and brand activations that need to be live on socials while the event is running, we drop a 20-image selection into a shared Google Drive folder every hour so the client's social team can push in real time. The same-night highlight reel runs on a 90-minute edit turnaround from the last speaker off stage — a 60-second cut that hits the emotional peaks of the evening and lands on Instagram before the guests are home. That reel doubles as the press asset for Monday morning outreach and typically outperforms the full recap film in engagement.
