ABOUT

Houston Event Photography

Houston Event Photography was founded in 1978 by Scott Wilson. Originally we operated a portrait,wedding, and commercial photography studio in Lake Jackson, Texas as Scott Wilson Photography. In 1983 we relocated to Houston to the Clear Lake, Friendswood and League City Area and moved from wedding and family portraits to offer our commercial photography services to corporate and commercial clients in the area that provided work for NASA and companies involved in the space exploration business. During this time we also started providing photography services to many Houston Oil, Gas and Energy-related companies that were located in the surrounding areas. Working with those companies provided us the opportunity to provide photography for their corporate events, parties, conferences and conventions. This leads us to become a corporate event photography specialist. The change in our company dynamics also lead us to change our name to Houston Event Photography in 1983 to better project the types of photography services we were offering. Not only are we the oldest event photography company in Houston but we were also one of the first to dive into digital photography from film. That move also steered us into being one of the first offering Instant On-Site Photo Printing and Green Screen Photography to our list of services. Today we still offer the newest trends in photographic services available and utilize the best photo equipment, photo software and photo products available to provide to our clients.
