A Milestone You Only Get Once

Groundbreakings and ribbon cuttings are short, outdoor and unrepeatable. The shovel moment or the ribbon cut can be over in under a minute, and the photos end up in press releases, investor updates, community news and on the wall of the finished building.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What happens if the weather changes?

We bring gear for sun, wind and rain and plan a backup group-photo spot with you. Outdoor ceremonies are what we expect, not an exception.

Can you deliver photos the same day for a press release?

Yes. We can deliver a small set of selects within hours so your communications team can publish while the news is current.

How long does coverage usually take?

Most groundbreakings and grand openings need one to two hours, including arrivals, speeches, the ceremonial moment and group photos.
