Let’s capture memories together.

We capture the moments your guests share and turn them into a keepsake with your name on it.

They remember the evening. They remember you.

Our services

Moments that last forever.

Sempre Photography is based in New York City. We photograph people at their tables, in restaurants and at events, and we print and frame the picture while the evening is still going.

Sempre means always: the evening passes, the picture stays.

Questions we are asked

By restaurants

What does it cost us?

Nothing. There is no fee, no equipment to buy and no staff to add. Your restaurant receives a share of the photographs sold.

Will it disturb our guests?

No. Our photographers wait for the right moment and always ask first. If a table would rather not be photographed, we simply move on. A picture takes under a minute, and most tables are glad to be asked.

Does it fit our brand?

The frame and the postcard are designed for your restaurant, with your name and a desirable look. Our photographers dress simply in black. Your guests see your restaurant, not a third party.

Everyone has a phone. Why a photographer?

A phone picture is taken by someone at the table, who is then not in it, in whatever light there is. Ours is taken by a professional, with proper light, and is printed and framed in minutes. It is the picture they keep.

Can we try it first?

Yes, for two weeks. We come on the evenings you choose, you watch how it goes with your guests and your staff, and you decide.

What do the guests pay?

We give each photographed table a complimentary postcard photo with your restaurant’s information. Guests decide for themselves whether they keep the framed print or the online gallery of their table, and nobody is pressed. We are glad to go through the details with you.

About events

How far ahead should we book?

Two weeks is comfortable. Write to us anyway if your evening is sooner, and we will do our best to make it work.

Can you print at the event?

Yes, if you wish. A small print station stands in a quiet corner, and photographs are printed and framed within minutes, up to the number in your package.

When do we get the photos?

The whole set, edited, in an online gallery within two days. Highlights the same night if you ask for them, and framed prints at the event if you chose them.

Can we use the photos as we like?

Yes. The photographs are yours to share, print and publish.
