At most events, guests have to wait days to see their photos. By then, the excitement has often passed.
Bela Foto wanted to change that.
The company now uses Honcho to send guests their photos while the event is still happening. Guests get a better experience, clients get more exposure, and Bela Foto offers something that helps it stand out.
About Bela Foto
Bela Foto is a corporate event photography company founded in 2019. It covers events in more than 100 cities across the United States.
Its team photographs conferences, executive meetings, trade shows, award ceremonies, and brand activations. These can range from small meetings with 30 people to large events with thousands of guests.
Bela Foto has worked with brands and organizations such as Google, NVIDIA, Bank of America, Heineken, and Harvard University.
From the start, the company wanted to offer more than great photos. It aimed to elevate the event photography experience by combining exceptional imagery with hospitality-level service.
Photo Delivery Before Honcho
Before Honcho, Bela Foto sent clients an online gallery after each event. It also provided a few photos on the same day for the client’s marketing team.
But most guests still had to wait.
When the full gallery was ready, they had to search through hundreds or even thousands of photos to find themselves. Many guests forgot to check the gallery or did not want to spend time looking.
This also meant they were less likely to share their photos online.
“The excitement surrounding an event is at its peak while it’s happening,” says Nick Meneses, co-founder of Bela Foto. “Waiting several days to access professional photos meant attendees often missed the opportunity to immediately share their experience, and clients lost valuable real-time exposure.”
If guests receive a great photo while they are still at the event, they are more likely to post it on LinkedIn or Instagram. Bela Foto needed a faster and easier way to get the right photos to each guest.
Photo Delivery With Honcho
At the event, guests see a QR code on a sign, screen, or message from the organizer.
They scan the code and take a quick selfie. Honcho then uses face recognition to find them in the event photos.
Bela Foto’s photographers keep shooting as usual. They upload photos during the event, either live or in batches. When Honcho finds a photo of a guest, it adds the image to that guest’s private gallery.
Guests do not have to search through every photo. They only see the photos they appear in.
The whole process is simple and fits into Bela Foto’s normal workflow.
The Impact of Using Honcho
Many guests are surprised when they receive a professional photo only a short time after it was taken.
Because the photo arrives right away, they are more likely to download and share it. This gives the event, its speakers, and its sponsors more attention online while the event is still happening.
Bela Foto has also noticed that guests become more excited about having their photos taken once they know they will receive them quickly.
Photography is no longer just a record of the event. It becomes part of the fun.
How Bela Foto Stands Out
There are many companies that can take good event photos. Bela Foto stands out by offering a better service from start to finish.
Honcho has helped make that difference even clearer.
“From a business perspective, instant delivery has strengthened our proposals and increased the perceived value of our services,” Nick says. “More importantly, it reinforces what Bela Foto has always focused on: creating an exceptional client and guest experience from beginning to end.”
This gives clients another reason to choose Bela Foto. It has also helped the company build long-term relationships, earn repeat business, and gain referrals.
For Bela Foto, Honcho is not simply a faster way to deliver photos. It helps the company offer an event experience that clients and guests will remember.
