5-Star Event Photography, Pensacola

Al Graham owns 5-Star Event Photography in Pensacola and is an electronics wiz. He spent his 12-year active Navy career in Aviation Avionics, graduating top of his class. He taught micro-miniature repair under a microscope, which is an unbelievable task. 

After floating around the Persian Gulf on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (avionics tech), he began working with Photoshop as a hobby. He left the Navy in 1997 and began working as an electronics expert with a logistics company (government contractor) in Pensacola, continuing his Photoshop interest.

When the government contract ended, Al formed a web design and development company and continued his interest in working with Photoshop, design, and lighting. He soon transitioned his focus to photography, where he spent ten years traveling around the country shooting concerts and music festivals for wire services and other media outlets. By this time, he knew most of the photographers at Rolling Stone Magazine.

Changes in the music photography industry inspired him to launch 5-Star Event Photography. Al has a professional event photo set and shoots print-on-site photography that’s sure to please every guest. He shoots and prints party pics on the spot with a sophisticated printer that produces 5” by 7” and 8” by 10” color prints.

5-Star Event Photography does Mardi Gras events, celebrity events, charity events like Make a Wish Foundation, holiday events such as Christmas and Easter, weddings, and birthday parties. “I do a lot of ticketed charity events where a photo with a celebrity is part of the package,” he says. “Commemorative photos, meet and greets with big bands, Comic-con events, pretty much anywhere the party is.”
