Charlotte Corporate Event Photographer

- Over 300 events captured -

I’m Brandon Pickett, a Charlotte, North Carolina–based corporate event photographer.

My approach to event photography is rooted in storytelling. Rather than staging moments or interrupting the flow of your event, I focus on observing and documenting what naturally unfolds — the interactions, energy, and atmosphere that define the experience.

I photograph events throughout Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas including South End, Uptown, Plaza Midwood, NoDa, Ballantyne, Matthews, Huntersville, and across North Carolina.

Documentary Event Photography Approach

Great event photography goes beyond capturing speakers and wide shots. It tells the story of why the event mattered.

We’ve covered over 300 events all across Charlotte, NC

  • I’m a full-time Charlotte based photographer for 7 years. We’ve worked on many local events, from The Carolina Orbie Awards, Cookies For Kids Cancer and many more.

  • Our approach is rooted in storytelling. Most of the event i’m trying to go unnoticed and capture all the real, authentic emotions and moments. Of course I still set time aside for more formal group shots, etc.

  • I provide professional event photography in Charlotte for:

    • Corporate events and conferences

    • Brand launches and activations

    • Nonprofit events and fundraisers

    • Private parties and celebrations

    • Community and cultural events

    Whether you’re hosting a multi-day conference or an intimate gathering, I approach every event with the same level of care, awareness, and respect for the people involved.

Charlotte Event Photography for Brands & Organizations

Below are some images from our Cookies For Kids Cancer event photography.

Venue: The Casey in Charlotte, NC

For businesses and organizations, event photography is an investment in visibility and storytelling.

I create images that can be used for:

  • Marketing and promotional materials

  • Social media and online content

  • Press and editorial use

  • Internal documentation and archives

I understand the needs of brands and organizations and work professionally within timelines, shot lists, and deliverable requirements — while still maintaining a documentary, unobtrusive presence.
