Black Tie Portrait Club

Event portrait experience · Vancouver

The portrait everyone actually wants

Not a photo booth. A portrait experience, set up right inside your gala, conference or wedding.

A man grinning with a lipstick kiss on his cheek beside his laughing partner A couple clinking champagne coupes, holding each other's eyes A couple standing forehead to forehead, eyes closed, smiling A woman holding her partner's face in both hands as he smiles A couple nose to nose, both laughing

Galas · Fundraisers · Conferences · Weddings

Real light, a real photographer and the time to get it right. Every guest leaves with a portrait they will actually want to frame.

What's wrong with photo booths

Same props. Same strip. Same line.

The photo booth

  • The same ten masks and props everyone else has worn
  • Corny prompts on an iPad
  • A tiny film strip that one person keeps, then loses
  • A line of fifty people and a quick shoo out of the way

The portrait experience

  • Directed by a photographer, nothing to hide behind
  • Real lighting, designed on purpose
  • A portrait good enough to print and frame at home
  • Time for every guest to look their best

The look

Black tie,
no props

Where we set up

Built for the nights that matter

Five friends in black tie cheering with raised champagne coupes
01

Galas and fundraisers

Give every guest a portrait worth keeping, and give the night a reason to be shared.

02

Conferences and networking events

Portraits instead of headshots. A photo with some personality, not another badge photo.

03

Weddings

A portrait experience at the reception. Every guest, dressed up, at their best, and worth hanging on the wall.

Dressed up. Lit properly.
