Events & Conferences

The room, as it happened.

Keynotes, panels, receptions, and the moments between them, covered the way a photojournalist covers a story. Speakers on stage, delegates in the room, and the handshakes your team will actually want to use afterwards.

Spaces & Property

Buildings, interiors, and the view from above.

Dealerships, offices, storefronts, and rural properties. First we capture ground level for the detail, then licensed drone for scale context.

How we work

From the shot list to the gallery.

Phase 01
Brief & shot list

We define what the photographs need to accomplish before the shoot, then build a shot list covering the people, spaces, and specific frames we need to capture.

Phase 02
Shoot day

We arrive early and work around your schedule. If video is also being captured, the same crew covers both.

Phase 03
Selects & grading

We cull the images worth keeping and grade the set in Lightroom, so a portrait shot in a boardroom and one shot against a backdrop still look like they belong together.

Phase 04
Delivery

Web-ready JPEGs at 2048 pixels on the long edge, plus the full-resolution files when you need to print. Delivered as a gallery your team can download from directly.

On set

Our company has hired Zach to shoot our events (video and photo) for almost 10 years and he consistently delivers exceptional work. He is super talented and continues to amaze us year after year with what he produces. Always punctual and quick to deliver. 10/10 recommend.

Erin Milling Pellera Technologies

Working with Zach and his team at Capital Arts to capture our 2026 Corporate Kickoff was a great decision. Zach was responsive, professional, and detail-oriented. The finished videos and photos were high quality, and the ease with which the AV production was managed made our internal team's job much easier.

Helen Huang DistillerSR

I've had the pleasure of working with Capital Arts Productions on many projects, and every time has been fantastic. The team is friendly, knowledgeable, well-organized, and very well equipped. Their attention to detail and professionalism make every event run smoothly and look great.

Simon Saumure Tec4 Productions

Our team has hired Capital Arts Productions on several occasions and booked them again for an upcoming event. The service and professionalism was exceptional. Very communicative leading up to events, always willing to take calls or emails for questions. The quality of work is top notch and exceeded our expectations.

uOttawa Brain & Mind Institute Research Team

We recently hired Zachary for a video project in Ottawa, and he far exceeded our expectations. Not only is the production quality top-tier, but his eye for detail and storytelling is truly impressive. He is professional, reliable, and a complete pleasure to work with.

Darian Kovacs Jelly Marketing

Working with Zach from Capital Arts Productions has been a pleasure. He joined our team events to create a video that beautifully captured our key messages and special moments throughout the day. Clear with communication, provided a draft promptly, and thoughtfully incorporated our revisions. Highly recommend.

It depends on the length and type of shoot. Events typically deliver 30-50 edited photos per hour, while headshot sessions come back as a smaller, carefully selected set of retouched portraits. The final number depends on the scope and what you need.

We typically deliver a small photoset within 24 hours following the event for use on socials, with the full gallery delivered within 7 business days. If you need a handful of photos on the same day, during, or right after the event, let us know before the shoot and we can accommodate.

Yes, a lot of our event work runs this way. The same crew covers both, so you are not coordinating two companies in one room, and the stills and the film come back from the one booking.

Normally no. What you get are the finished, graded photographs, which is what the raw files exist to produce. If your team needs the originals, let us know and we can arrange for them to be included in the deliverables.

Wherever your people already are. We bring the backdrop and the lighting and set up in a boardroom, a lobby, or a corner of the office, which is usually faster than moving a whole team across town. If you would rather shoot against your own space than a backdrop, we can do that too.
