That could be gala dinners, it could be training sessions, as well as corporate retreats and away days. It’s things where you have a lot of people congregating and you want to capture the feel and the dynamism in the event so it means that for next year you can increase bookings or those once-in-a-lifetime ones, where it really captures people in a room together that wouldn’t normally be together. Over the years it’s been great to see the evolution of event photography and that in the past, it was very much a photo booth station and that’s kind of it. Whereas nowadays, we still do a really nice lighting set-up for the start of the event but equally we spend more time out in the crowds, engaging with people and getting pictures a little bit more relaxed and a little bit more of them having fun rather than staged photos.

You don't have to run a luxury city hotel to take advantage of professional photography. 📸 If you manage a hotel, an inn, or a pub with rooms located in a village or small town, you are offering a different product and you should be highlighting those differences. ☯️ Your hospitality business will likely have the advantage of a traditional or period setting, be long established in the area and have bags of character! 🏵️ But you still face the same problems. You rely on locals and passing trade and you're also competing with other businesses for a smaller market. So you know that you need to attract new customers from further afield who will become regulars, and you can do that by having attention-grabbing photography on your website and in your social media posts. 📲 A lot of people like to get outdoors and explore at the weekend and they like nothing better than including an attractive country pub somewhere in that excursion. So make sure they’re finding your business with notifications that communicate the warm welcome awaiting them! 🥰 If you think that your spaces would benefit from professional photography, then let’s chat. Head over to my LinkedIn profile and book a call. I’d love to hear about your business. 📞 Are your posts character driven? 🚂 Click on and FOLLOW MY HASHTAG #HospitalityandLeisurePhotographer for regular posts. #MarketingDigital #HospitalityIndustry #Hospitality

Let's be honest. There's a lot of bad destination marketing out there. That's probably because true Place Branding is hard. It requires embedding and fully understanding what makes a community unique. There's no formula - because every place is different. And stock-looking photography of model-looking people makes it hard for potential visitors to see themselves there. The work that works to engage travelers captures the real sense of a place. The real people and the stories that you may not know, but enjoy discovering. #placebranding

Tip of the week: While it's natural to want to oversee every aspect of your wedding day, remember that you don't have to do it all alone. Delegate tasks to trusted family members, friends, or your wedding planner to alleviate some of the stress. Whether it's the designer bringing your theme to life, the photographer documenting your special moments, or the renting your event rental items from Signature Event Rentals, put your trust in their competence. #eventrentals #eventplanning #partyrentals #weddingrentals #eventdecor #dinnerware #eventdesign #eventpros #eventsetup #eventfurniture #VAweddings #DMVweddings #VirginiaWeddings #holidaywedding #eventproduction #linens #eventlinens #linenrentals #tablesetting #tablesetup #engagedWashingtonDC #engagedFredericksburg #engagedVirginia #dcweddingplanning #VAweddingplanning #novaweddingplanning #tipsoftheweek
