Gilmore Studios has been photographing debutante balls, charity marches/walks, corporate mixers, awards banquets, holiday parties, high school teams, and special events in southern California for over 10 years. Contact us for your next large or intimate event!
The Debutante Ball
Our studio currently works with National Charity League, Assistance League, and Las Ninas (Las Madrecitas) for Debutante Ball event portraits. Our team will organize all the family and group portraits on location and create gorgeous leather photo albums for the families. We also photograph other events for these organizations like fashion shows, daughter/mother tributes, Tea/rose ceremonies, and Rainbow Luncheons. We organize and photograph hundreds of debutante portrait sessions in our private 1/2 acre garden in Newport Beach every year. The garden has a large synthetic turf area perfect for keeping those white dresses clean!
Charity Events
We are proud to have photographed numerous March for Babies charity walks for the March of Dimes organization in Newport Beach, CA.
Gilmore Studios volunteers our time for Now I lay me down to sleep (N.I.L.M.D.T.S) an amazing charity group that helps families who lose their newborn babies at Hoag Hospital.
Corporate Awards dinners and banquets
From celebrity golf tournaments at the country club, to awards banquets at the California Club in Los Angeles, we are always ready to document your next special event.
Photo Kiosk/Photo Booth
Ask about our automated photo kiosk for your next event or tradeshow. Perfect for any large gathering or celebration. It’s a photo booth- but can handle much bigger groups! Choose from 16 of our 9 x 9 foot wide backdrops to match your party decor. We can provide fun props, or you can bring your own. The guests will receive a 4×6 print with your event branding and 4 poses that automatically prints on a high quality dye–sublimation printer. You also get individual digital files of each pose taken at the event.
High School Team Sports
We also have years of experience in high school sports photography. We currently work with Newport Harbor High School and Corona Del Mar High School for their cheerleading, water polo, and swim teams. We love to photograph the kids in an outdoor location with natural light. High School sports photography doesn’t have to be dull and boring, right? After photographing the groups, we always have time for some fun candid photos of the kids and their best friends. These sessions can be organized for as little as $10 per student. Ask about creating a custom print packages as well. There are a lot of affordable options!
Golf Tournaments
Need photography coverage for your next golf tournament? Gilmore Studios will document your club’s details, action shots throughout the day, and photos of the winners. We also cover golf pro charity events where donors get a photo with the professional golfer that is printed on location.
