How we documented a top london law firm's 40th anniversary party at the V&A.
Background - how it came together
We were approached by a reputation and privacy consultancy, to document their event.
They reached out following the completion of several video projects that PCD Media worked on with them.
During the consultation, they highlighted the significance of the anniversary event and their desire for both candid photographs.
They shared the event details: a drinks reception, party and private exhibition at the Dome at the V&A for their entire organisation.
After agreeing on the package, we signed a contract outlining the scope and post-event photo delivery.
