MICHAEL OLMSTED

DENVER PHOTOGRAPHER

Denver Event Photographer

I am a Denver based event photographer. I specialize in capturing authentic, impactful moments and key interactions that define your corporate and private events.

Event Photography Services

For your next event in Denver, I offer expert photography services for a wide range of occasions, including:

  • Trade Shows
  • Conferences/Conventions
  • Corporate Events
  • Company Parties/Retreats
  • Outdoor Sporting Events
  • Music Events
  • Brand Activations

With 15 years of experience as a professional photographer, I bring a wealth of experience to every project that I work on. Throughout my career, I’ve been trusted by big brands, large corporations, and world class creative teams to create imagery that helps them to grow and better communicate with their customers.

When shooting your event, I’m not just trying to take nice pictures, I’m trying to tell the real story of the day - A story that can only be told through capturing those fleeting candid moments of personal connection, the passion of the keynote speaker, and the little details that made the event unique.

No event is too big or small. For large scale productions, I am comfortable leading teams of photographers, videographers, producers, stylists, and assistants. All of which will be hand picked based on your specific needs.

Choosing me as your photographer comes with my personal guarantee that I’ll deliver high quality, impactful images that align with your goals.

Brands I've Shot For

Stylizing, Editing, and Delivery of Your Event Images

When I'm shooting, I'm never aiming for a set number of images. Instead, my focus is always on creating as many high-quality images as possible to effectively tell the story of your event. My rate always includes professionally edited, high-resolution images, with social media or web-sized versions also available upon request.

When editing your images, my goal is to represent your brand as accurately as possible and deliver photographs that remain useful to you in the months or years to follow. Therefore, I avoid heavy stylization that could limit your ability to adapt the images to layouts or marketing materials. For this reason, I aim to deliver images with fairly neutral color toning.

I understand that some corporate events require fast, or even immediate, turnaround. I’m happy to offer next-day, night-of, and even immediate delivery options when needed.
