The Photographer

Personal. Precise.
Always on time.

“My goal for each client is to find the right angle, light, or perspective to showcase the best qualities of both the image and moment.”

Barret Elengold

My career started immediately after high school, walking into a production company and becoming their main photographer within a few weeks. That early immersion into professional photography set the foundation for everything that followed.

I founded Scottsdale Event Photography to do what I love with the people I serve. Fortune 500 brands, professional organizations and local clients trust me with their biggest moments. Families count on me for their once-in-a-lifetime celebrations. I take both equally seriously.

Scottsdale has been home base from day one. After a decade shooting across Arizona, from downtown Phoenix venues to North Scottsdale resorts and Paradise Valley estates to Chase Field, I know the city, the light, and the rhythm of every kind of event the Valley throws. Whatever the venue, I show up early, prepared, and ready to disappear into the moment.

We recently hired Barret for our annual tenant holiday party and we could not be more thankful to have found a photographer like him! From the scheduling process to the photo turnaround time, everything was quick and seamless. Barret has a great personality and made all our guests feel comfortable. The photos turned out great and captured exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend Scottsdale Event Photography for your next event and we look forward to working with Barret again!

I used Barrett for my largest event of the year, and communication was especially important since the event took place across multiple spaces. He was super attentive to what we needed, easy to work with, and captured some truly epic shots that perfectly reflected the energy of the night.

Family Reunion! From the first time I reached out to Scottdale Event Photography, Barrett was nothing but extremely helpful. He had been to the location of our event before (which helped). We had a long list of pictures to take from large groups to small family pictures. He gave us two hours and all the digital pictures we could fit into that time period. It was wonderful and I am so happy with the way the pictures turned out. It's a little scary to have all the people together in one moment and trust someone with capturing that moment. Barrett did this perfectly and I will forever be grateful. This was a moment I will treasure for a long time. Thank you for your professionalism and kindness. We are so grateful for the wonderful pictures!

Barret was amazing to work with for my daughter's small courthouse wedding last month. He was professional, responsive, and even adjusted to a last-minute schedule change without any issue. He arrived on time, was super friendly and easygoing, and captured the day beautifully. The photos are stunning—something we'll treasure forever. Highly recommend Barret—10/10!

Working with Barret was easy and the end results were exceptional. Being able to trust that your photographer will capture the shots you need but also conduct themselves in a high profile circumstance is critical - Barret and his team fit the bill. Will be using them again. Thanks Barret and Scottsdale Event Photography!

Pictures are important in a property listing. Barret did such an amazing job capturing the value of my rental property. I've received several compliments and it's definitely the contribution to the bookings I'm getting. It was such a pleasure working with Barret on our rental property photos. He did such a great job, the pictures are amazing and I would definitely work with him again.

Wonderful photographer(s). We used Scottsdale Event Photography for my wedding and it was perfect! We ended up having 2 incredible photographers and wouldn't change a thing! From the time they arrived at the ceremony venue, until the time they left at the end of the reception, there was not a second that went by where they were not taking pictures. They were sooooo attentive. The captured everything we could have wanted. I was a plus size bride and was so afraid in general that I wouldn't like the pictures due to my recent weight gain, but Scottsdale Event Photography took super flattering photos and captured the excitement, laughter, and joy perfectly. I would definitely recommend Scottsdale Event Photography for any of your photographic needs ranging from business to events! Thanks Scottsdale Event Photography for all of your hard work and giving us the photos of our dreams that we will be able to cherish forever!

We had an amazing experience working with Scottsdale Event Photography. Our photographer Barret was professional, creative, and incredibly efficient and showed up early. They handled both photo and video work for us, and the turnaround time was impressively fast without sacrificing quality. They covered our corporate event and captured all the moments we were hoping to capture with our customers. Every shot was on point, and the final edits far exceeded expectations. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality visuals with reliable, friendly service. We'll definitely be using them again! 5 STARS!

Had the pleasure of having Barret as our photographer for my daughter's sweet sixteen and he was awesome!!! Barret was very punctual and professional. He captured all of the special moments and more! I definitely know who to call for any future events. Thank you Barret.

Barrett took photos of my property for Airbnb. I felt comfortable letting him into the building without being there. He went above and beyond, checking on a couple things while I was out. He also edited a few pictures until they were to my liking. Took a very well edited video of how to access the building. And was an incredible communicator from the beginning. Constantly letting me know a timeline of when things would be done and when he was busy (and why, even when I didn't ask). His price is reasonable. I highly recommend him and he'll be my go-to guy for all things video and pictures from now on as he continues to do such a good job.

We used Scottsdale Event Photography for our corporate event in Scottsdale and I couldn't say more amazing things! Barrett was so easy to work with. We had a 3 day agenda and he worked with me to ensure he was there to cover the most important aspects of the event while staying in our budget. Barrett arrived early to each event to capture all of the details needed. He also checked in with me before each event began to confirm which shots we specifically wanted throughout the event. He was amazing and the photos turned incredibly well! I would definitely recommend using Scottsdale Event Photography for any events!

We called Upon Scottsdale Photography to help archive some fun activities on video. Barrett was punctual, attentive to our style of video, and captured some awesome video that was perfect for us to use as highlights for our corporate event in Scottsdale. We look forward to contacting Barrett & SEP again on future trips to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.

I worked with Barret for a corporate event, where he came to photograph a conference for several days. His pricing was reasonable and competitive. He was really easy to work with, punctual, and made sure we got great photos. He worked with us to get candid and team photos, and was flexible about sharing a sampling of photos quickly each day. I also hired him to edit some photos for me personally. Overall, great experience and highly recommend working with him!
