Every live event needs a venue, and most events need at least some decor. This gallery captures some of the amazing venues Joe has seen at the many corporate, association, and non-profit events he's photographed, ranging from some of the most luxurious hotels and resorts in the world, to big city convention centers, to private Mexican haciendas.

If you're an event planner, you care deeply about the venues and decor for your events because it's your opportunity to put your personal stamp on events, and it's probably these details that your attendees will remember most. So you naturally want the best possible photos to preserve your hard work. But beyond this, great photography of the venues and decor for your events can help you design future events, show your leadership team how much you add to the overall effort, and can be submitted for awards like ILEA's Esprit Awards, MPI's various chapter awards, the NACE One Awards, and the BizBash Event Style Awards.
