Team Offsites

The two days a year everyone is in the same place.

24 frames·Austin, Central Texas, and wherever you took everyone·Photos in three business days

An offsite is a bet. You take the whole company out of the building, spend real money on a room with good light and worse wifi, and hope what comes back is worth more than two days of output. What justifies it is almost never the agenda — it's the twenty minutes at the coffee urn, the argument that finally happens face to face, and one photograph of everyone who was there, because by next year a third of them won't be. We cover both halves: the sessions, and everything either side of them.

Booking

Send the venue, the run of show, and when you want the group shot. We'll work around the agenda.

Start the conversation

The agenda is not the reason it worked.

Nobody comes back from an offsite quoting slide fourteen. They come back with the conversation that happened next to it — which is why we shoot the room as attentively as the stage.

The full-day film. Panels, the networking either side, and the room noise that makes it feel like a day rather than a deck.

One

The part that is actually work.

Long tables, open laptops, a whiteboard someone has already run out of room on. It photographs better than people expect, because concentration is a genuinely good expression and nobody is performing it.

A long shared table of people working on laptops at an offsite session — Two hours in, and the room has stopped noticing there is a camera in it.

One of the shorter cuts — the kind of thing that goes out internally the week after, while people still remember being there.

Two

And the part everyone actually remembers.

The dinner, the mixer, the stretch after the last session where the org chart quietly stops applying. This is where the pictures your team will actually share come from, and it is the half most coverage runs out of budget before reaching.

Three

Somebody will ask for the group photo.

Always. Usually at the least convenient moment, in the worst light of the day. So we plan it in advance, put it somewhere the sun is doing something useful, and have it done in the four minutes before anyone gets restless.

Large group seated and standing together on a wooden deck with trees behind — Everyone who was there, on the last evening, while the light was still worth using.

Tell us the run of show.

Half-day, full-day or the whole retreat, photo or photo and video. Send the venue and the agenda and we'll tell you where the coverage actually needs to be — which is usually not where people first assume.
