The Brief

Guests first.

A hotel photo that's only a room sells a room. Embassy Suites needed stills where the property is the backdrop and the guests are the story: a rooftop happy hour, a lobby bar, a pool deck, a family on a bed with nowhere to be.

The set follows the whole stay, from the lobby doors to the balcony at the end of the day.

The Moves

What we actually did.

Photography. One crew, start to finish.

Take 1

Guests first

Moments instead of empty rooms. People laughing at a bar, lounging on a rooftop, piling onto a bed. The hotel is the setting, the stay is the subject.

Take 2

The whole stay, start to finish

Arrival, the lobby bar, the pool, the room, the balcony. One set that covers every place a guest actually spends time.

Take 3

Bright, clean, bookable

Natural light, uncluttered compositions and color that reads on a booking page and holds up in a campaign.

The Receipts

What it added up to.

The Embassy Suites set sits next to our Tapestry Collection films and Hilton Miami piece: one client, two mediums, one crew that can cover both.
