Our Event Photography Process
Wondering what it’s like to work with an event photographer in San Diego or Carlsbad? My process is designed to be simple, stress-free, and all about making sure your event is captured beautifully from start to finish.
1-Let’s Connect
We’ll start with a quick call to chat about your event details—your vision, the must-have moments, the people you want highlighted, and the flow of the day. From there, I’ll create a custom quote tailored to your needs.
2-Event Day Coverage
On the day of your event, I’ll arrive prepared and ready to capture everything—whether it’s candid moments, branded step-and-repeats, or the big keynote. My goal is for you to feel fully present, knowing the photography is handled.
3-Curated Editing
After your event, I personally curate and edit your images with my signature style—natural, clean, and vibrant. Every photo is professionally polished to make your event look its very best.
4-Easy Delivery
Within about 7–10 business days (often sooner), your images are delivered in a private online gallery. From there, you can download high-resolution photos, share them with guests, and use them for marketing or social media.
5-Relive the Celebration
Your event may be over, but the memories live on. You’ll have a collection of images that not only document the day but bring back the energy, joy, and connection every time you look at them.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE OUR
HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES
Cary produced quality, professional photos at a competitive price. I was very satisfied with the product and have gotten compliments on my photos. It is great to have professional photos on hand for LinkedIn and other various reasons in my line of work. Thank you Cary!
Paul DiPaolo
Cary is not only an incredibly gifted San Diego headshot photographer who takes amazing and beautiful photos but he is also very kind, sincere, and a consummate professional from the moment you meet him and throughout the whole time working with him. His fee and portrait prices are very reasonable and he gets your proofs to you in a timely manner. I loved all the photos he took, which made it very difficult to choose which ones to order. He is definitely a five-star photographer and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Tina Pisciotta
Working with Cary was a very comfortable, fun and professional experience. We felt like we were with a friend from the start of the project to the end. The photos turned out lovely and we are very pleased. We needed an indoor studio and his San Diego headshot photographer studio was perfect for our shots. Hope to use him for outdoor takes someday! I recommend Cary Pennington Photography without hesitation.
