PCE Fresno State Tailgates 2026

For PCE (Precision Civil Engineering)

The Brief

What they wanted.

PCE brings people together outside Valley Children's Stadium on Fresno State game days. Food, a live band, a full bar, the marching band rolling through. They wanted the whole afternoon captured, the energy and the people who make it.

The Solution

What we made.

We shot two home-game tailgates, September 12 and September 26, 2026. Crews working the chafing dishes. The band on a backyard stage. Hugs at the bar, a kid showing off a game ball, the Bulldog Marching Band in full plumes. Candid, warm and red all over.
