A Full Room,
Caught on Camera.

The Brief

Events That
Keep on Giving.

Northern Spire is known for hosting networking events that bring business owners together. An event lasts a morning, but they wanted it to work for longer: in social posts, marketing and follow-ups with the people who came. So they needed someone in the room with a camera, catching the people, the branding and the conversations.

  • Photography and video at each event
  • Northern Spire branding in shot where possible
  • Content for social media and marketing
The Brief
Working to a Shot List
Working to a Shot List

The Right People,
in the Right Frame.

For a Top Tier Networking breakfast at their office in November 2025, the team sent a shot list. It named ten pairings they wanted for posts up to Christmas: new clients, introducers and long-standing contacts. We worked through it during the morning and caught the candid moments in between, with the logo wall and the Sunderland map in the background.

  • Ten priority shots planned with the client
  • Candid networking shots between them
  • Branded backdrops used on purpose
Guest Interviews

Ten Guests,
Ten Short Films.

At an earlier networking session we sat ten guests down in front of the map wall for short interviews. Then we asked each one for a single business tip. We cut every interview and tip into its own video, plus a B-roll reel of the room, so Northern Spire had a set of clips to post one by one.

  • Ten guest interviews, each edited separately
  • Short “one tip” clips from guests
  • B-roll reel of the event
Guest Interviews
Panel Event
Panel Event

A Panel,
Cut Three Ways.

For Northern Spire’s business owner panel we filmed the whole session. We delivered the full video and then cut it into three shorter interview parts. Long form for anyone who missed it, short form for social feeds.

  • Full-length video of the panel
  • Three shorter interview cuts
  • Edited for both long and short viewing
Cyber Security Event

Two Cameras,
One Packed Room.

In February 2026 Northern Spire held a cyber security event at Ramside Hall. With a full room, a speaker and a four-person panel, we brought two photographers. One covered the stage and the audience. The other worked the room during networking. We also filmed the event and edited it into a video.

  • Two photographers covering stage and room
  • Speaker, panel, audience and networking
  • Event video edited from the morning

Real Moments
Real Moments

People,
Not Poses.

The best event photos are the ones people share. We look for real reactions: a laugh in the audience, a hug at the door, someone filming the panel on their phone.

  • Candid shots over staged line-ups
  • Colour and black and white edits
  • Photos guests want to share
Drone & B-Roll

Show Where
You’re From.

Northern Spire is a Sunderland business, so we also shot drone footage of the Sunderland coast. Their videos can open on the city, not just a meeting room.

  • Drone footage of the Sunderland coast
  • Reusable B-roll for future edits
