Stride invited me in to capture the inter-workings of their collaboration at this off-site event. They have a few of these each year to keep things fresh and the ideas flowing.
People talking and collaborating...
They had a great space for this event and was able to capture some of the amenities.
One final "fun" image with the entire group.
Stride just had their 2nd annual company party. Things are going great for them and they are proud of what they've accomplished in such a short period of time.

I was brought in to capture the company event, shoot some additional interviews that are a part of a recruiting video we're putting together for them (check some BTS shots already posted). On the same day, we also grabbed a headshot of their new VP of Client Services and wrangled them into a full group shot so we can see how much they've grown as a company from year to year.
This company meeting didn't feel 'corporate'. It didn't feel forced. It felt like they were a team of like-minded people after a goal of being the most sought after Agile consultancy in the world. Doing it all with a great attitude and a respect for a work/life balance is pretty hard to find.
This event wasn't covered by me alone. I had some great help:
Theresa Keil: 2nd shooting, video interviews
