Additional savings for nonprofit events
Independent planners often support nonprofit organizations working within tighter event and marketing budgets. Preferred Partners receive an additional 5% discount on qualifying nonprofit engagements, bringing our professional event coverage and production infrastructure to nonprofit clients at a more accessible rate.
The nonprofit benefit combines with your tier discount and, for Premier and Elite Partners, the qualifying bundled services discount.
Built around your event calendar
Preferred Partner status is designed around the way independent planners actually work. Qualifying engagements can include projects booked across multiple end clients, markets and event types, so your overall relationship with Orange Photography unlocks greater benefits.
Whether you need one photographer for an executive dinner or a coordinated photo and video team across a national conference program, you have one partner who already understands how you work. Our agency model is built around managing complex projects, providing flexible pricing for different client budgets and maintaining consistency across engagements.
There is no application and no fee
Ask your Orange Photography salesperson to start the program. They’ll confirm the tier that matches your event volume and apply your preferred pricing to your next quote. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to pay.
