Frequently Asked Questions

  • Your full edited gallery is delivered within 24-48 hours of your event date — every frame, print-ready and download-ready. For clients who need content faster, we offer a same-day conference photography highlight add-on: social-ready hero shots delivered while your event is still running, before your attendees leave the building. Based in Austin. Available throughout Texas and nationwide for conferences and corporate events. Ask about this option when requesting a quote.

  • We cover the full spectrum: conferences, trade shows, product launches, award ceremonies, galas, annual meetings, town halls, fundraisers, brand activations, and executive retreats — throughout Austin. We also provide on-site headshot stations, comprehensive event coverage, and same-day social media content packages. If your event brings people together around your brand, we can cover it.

  • Yes — and this is one of Tico Mendoza Studios' strongest differentiators. Our integrated Texas corporate photography and videography team operates under one brief, one creative direction, and one point of contact. You get a consistent visual style across every deliverable — stills, highlight reels, brand films, and social cuts — without the stress of managing two separate vendors.

  • Yes. As a local Austin photography studio, we frequently work at The Holdsworth Center, Four Seasons Hotel Austin, Palmer Events Center, Fairmont Austin, JW Marriott, and the Hilton Austin. We are familiar with the specific lighting challenges and floor plans of Austin’s premier hotels and summit spaces, ensuring a seamless experience for your team.

  • Yes. Our real-time delivery workflow is one of the things clients come back for year after year. Our on-site editor culls and polishes hero shots while the event is still running — delivered to your phone, Slack, or email before your speakers leave the stage. Your social team can be posting while the energy is still live. This add-on is available for events in Austin and nationally.

  • Most of the ones you are considering. The Fairmont, Four Seasons, JW Marriott, the Austin Convention Center, Palmer Events Center, Moody Center, ACL Live, the Driskill, Hotel Van Zandt, Commodore Perry Estate, Omni Barton Creek, Hyatt Lost Pines, and Circuit of the Americas among others.

  • A quick 15-minute chat and your run-of-show are all we need to get started. We understand the unique challenges of coordinating a multi-day event in a distant city, often sight unseen. We promise to step in and execute flawlessly, leaving you with one less thing on your plate.

  • Absolutely. Our on-site headshot lounge is one of the most popular conference add-ons we offer. Since every executive is already in one place, we set up professional lighting and capture portraits for the entire team — no separate shoot, no rescheduling. We've photographed 250+ executive headshots in a single two-day Austin conference. Instant delivery available.

  • Yes. We carry full General Liability insurance, which is a requirement for all major Austin venues and corporate campuses. We can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) upon request to ensure your event planning process remains stress-free and compliant with venue regulations.

  • We take a "marketing-first" approach to every event. Before the conference begins, we coordinate with your team to understand your specific objectives—whether that’s capturing high-impact shots with "copy-space" for website banners, focusing on key sponsor activations, or documenting your corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. We don't just document what happened; we build a custom library of professional brand assets that your marketing and PR teams can use for social media, annual reports, and future event promotion.

  • Yes. While Austin and the greater Texas area are our primary markets, we travel nationally for conferences, trade shows, and corporate events. We've covered events across the country—including multi-day conferences in Oakland and San Francisco—for clients like the AI Council. Travel is available for any event — just include your location and dates when you request a quote.

  • All images are delivered via a private, password-protected online gallery — shareable by link and downloadable in high resolution. For larger conferences, we create separate collections — speaker headshots, sponsor activations, breakout sessions — so each group finds what they need quickly. For headshot stations, attendees receive their individual portraits via email immediately after their session. Full print rights included for all corporate and marketing use.

  • Every event is different, so every quote is custom. Fill out our short quote request form with your event dates, location, estimated attendance, and services needed — photography, video, or both. We'll follow up within one business day with a tailored proposal. You can also call us directly at (512) 850-7273.
