The 8 Best Event Photographers in Reno

Event photography covers all kinds of happenings, from corporate conferences and grand weddings to intimate milestone birthday celebrations. A talented event specialist will know how to photograph under changing lighting, including the potentially unflattering fluorescents of a convention center and a sun-drenched outdoor event. They will know how to blend seamlessly into the crowd to capture all-encompassing photos of the action and know when to encourage the guests to let their enjoyment show. The following Reno event photographers are all talented professionals who each have their own specialty where they truly shine. If you have any kind of event coming up in the area, check out this list for artists you can trust to capture all the fun your event entails. 

1. VILD Photography

These Reno event photographers are partners in life and also in their creative endeavors. As avid outdoors people, they love capturing all of the beauty that comes from saying “I do” outside. In fact, it’s even in the name of their business since Vild is Swedish for “wild.” Creating grand portraits of love and capturing the depth of love, their work has a rugged and untamed feeling to it. Add perfectly balanced editing with a bit of contrast to that feeling and it’s clear you’re looking at some seriously talented artists.

Whatever the occasion, Brin is there for you. He’s the staff photographer for the University of Nevada Reno Medical school as well as a noted local wedding photographer.
