SERVICES:
Vehicle Arrivals and Red-Carpet Photography
Vehicle arrivals are often one of the most anticipated parts of a matric farewell. Learners may arrive in classic cars, sports cars, luxury vehicles, motorcycles or other creative forms of transport.
Our photographers can document:
- Vehicles approaching the venue
- Learners arriving and exiting their vehicles
- Individual red-carpet entrances
- Full-length portraits
- Couples and friendship groups
- Fashion, accessories and important details
- Reactions from friends and spectators
- School and sponsor displays
- The atmosphere surrounding the arrival area
The school should provide a clearly managed arrival route and sufficient time between vehicles. This allows every learner to be photographed safely and helps prevent unnecessary delays.
Formal Learner Portraits
A dedicated portrait area can be arranged at the school or event venue to create consistent photographs of learners before they enter the main function.
Portrait coverage may include:
- Individual learner portraits
- Couples’ photographs
- Best-friend photographs
- Small and large groups
- Grade or class photographs
- Photographs with parents
- Photographs with teachers
- Formal and relaxed portrait options
If the school requires a photograph of every learner or couple, sufficient time must be included in the programme. We can help the organising committee plan an efficient photography schedule based on the number of attendees.
Matric Farewell Photography
A matric farewell represents the conclusion of an important chapter for learners and their families. Our photographers capture the excitement, fashion, friendships and atmosphere of the occasion without disrupting the event programme.
Matric farewell photography can include:

Services Explained:
Professional Multi-Camera Livestream Production

- Professional audio from microphones and the school sound system
- Coverage of speakers, performers and award recipients
- School logos and branded graphics
- Speaker names and on-screen titles

The number of cameras and crew members is determined by the size of the venue, the type of event and the level of coverage required.

Public, Unlisted and Restricted Livestreams
Schools can select an appropriate viewing option based on the event and their privacy requirements.
Available options may include:
- A public livestream
- An unlisted viewing link
- A restricted or private stream
- Access through a selected event platform
- A recording supplied to the school afterward
Because school events often involve learners under the age of 18, an unlisted or restricted stream may be the most appropriate option.
The school or event organiser remains responsible for obtaining the necessary permissions and informing learners, parents, staff and guests that photography, recording and livestreaming will take place.
