Event Photographer in London

Vivid Squad is a London event photography team trusted by British Land, Lendlease, Broadgate and Greenwich Peninsula. We photograph brand activations, property launches, trade shows, festivals and corporate evenings across the capital — from Broadgate Circle in the City to the roof terraces of Elephant Park — and deliver edited galleries within 5–10 business days, or within 48 hours when a campaign needs to go live fast.

Events we photograph

Brand activations and campaigns

Interactive installations, pop-ups and experiential campaigns, photographed as action, hero and lifestyle imagery. For British Land's Lifesize London we covered the same campaign across three campuses, keeping the look consistent while letting each estate's character come through.

Property and venue launches

For a residential or venue launch, the building is as much the subject as the guests. At Lendlease's Arbour Heights launch we photographed arrivals, speeches, show-home tours and the views across Elephant Park, giving the sales team images that prove the place is finished and lived in.

Festivals, markets and public events

Large outdoor events on managed London estates: Round the Dock and the Craft & Flea markets at Canada Water, Turning Tides and Lunar New Year at Greenwich Peninsula, and Bartholomew Fair at Broadgate Circle. We capture the wide crowd shots, the performers and the candid moments in between.

Trade shows and exhibitions

Stand and show-floor coverage at ExCeL London and Olympia London, including HRC and 100% Design, where the light is mixed, the floor is busy and the useful moments happen constantly.

Corporate evenings and networking events

Talks, networking and hosted evenings, such as The Founding's art curation evening co-hosted by JLL and Savills, and the Canada Water property networking evening. Discreet coverage that respects guests who are there to do business.

How we work on the day

  1. 1

    Brief and shot list. We agree the key moments with you in advance — speeches, ceremonies, reveals, VIP arrivals — so nothing that happens once is missed. At Arbour Heights, the Kagami Biraki ceremony was covered by photo and video at the same time because it only happened once.

  2. 2

    Permits, RAMS and consent. On managed London estates we submit Risk Assessment and Method Statements (RAMS) and permit applications to estate management before the shoot, and manage consent forms for identifiable members of the public in line with GDPR.

  3. 3

    Unobtrusive coverage. We blend candid documentary coverage with directed group and formal shots where the brief needs them.

  4. 4

    Fast delivery. Edited galleries in 5–10 business days as standard. For live campaigns we've delivered within 48 hours so content can be published while the event is still running.

What you receive

  • An edited, high-resolution gallery ready for press, LinkedIn, social and internal comms

  • Candid, hero and group imagery, plus venue and detail shots

  • Optional video from the same coordinated crew: highlight films, vertical reels and POV content

FAQ

Questions about event photography in London

How much does an event photographer cost in London?
The final price depends on hours of coverage, whether you need one photographer or a photo-and-video crew, and your delivery deadline. Send us your date, venue and schedule and we'll return an itemised quote within 24 hours.
How quickly will we receive the photos?
Edited galleries are delivered within 5–10 business days as standard. Where content needs to go live during an event or campaign, we can deliver within 48 hours, as we did after each stop of British Land's Lifesize London campaign.
Do you handle permits, RAMS and consent for public events?
Yes. For events on managed London estates we prepare RAMS and permit applications for estate management teams, and manage consent forms for identifiable members of the public in line with GDPR.
Which London venues have you photographed events at?
Recent work includes Broadgate Circle, Paddington Central, Regent's Place, Canada Water, Greenwich Peninsula, Elephant Park, ExCeL London, Olympia London and the Brunel Museum.
Can you provide photography and video at the same event?
Yes. We regularly send a combined photo and video crew, as at Lendlease's Arbour Heights launch and Bartholomew Fair, so you get a gallery, a highlight film and social reels from one coordinated team.
Do you cover multi-day events and festivals?
Yes. We covered all three days of Bartholomew Fair at Broadgate Circle, and multiple dates of Round the Dock, Canada Water's six-week summer festival.
Do you cover events outside London?
We're based in east London (Romford) and cover all of London as standard. We travel further for larger productions.
