Recent restaurant and hotel videos
Dining room atmosphere, dishes and cocktails, chefs in the kitchen, rooms and breakfasts: videos designed to drive bookings, most of them in vertical format for Instagram and TikTok. Here is content created for restaurants and hotels, in Paris and abroad.
Images that get people booking before the very first bite
Before booking, your future guests check your Instagram, your Google Business Profile and your website. The images they find there often make all the difference: they make people want to come before they've even had a taste.
For restaurants and hotels alike, I create atmosphere and event videos, dish and cocktail videos, food photo shoots, chef and team portraits, and presentation films. Photo and video, during your off-peak hours, always working around your schedule.
For a new menu, an opening or an event, a one-off session is all you need. To keep your social feeds fresh all year round, a regular schedule, one session a month or per season, gives you new content and a consistent look from one post to the next.
Atmosphere video, dishes, photos, hotel film: which format suits your venue?

How does a photo or video shoot at a restaurant work?

01The briefing
Quote within 48 hoursNew menu, cocktails, dining room, rooms: you tell me what you want to showcase and where you'll publish it (social media, website, Google Business Profile).
02Pre-production
Off-peak hoursWith the chef or your team, we pick the dishes, cocktails and spaces to highlight, and schedule a slot before opening or between services.
03The session
2 to 3 hoursPhoto, video or both, within the agreed timing. Shorter time slot? We spread it over several sessions. Everything is cleared away before setup for service.

In the field

Restaurant video and photography FAQ
Another question? Write to me, I reply within 48 hours.
What is a video for a restaurant or hotel for?
To make people want to book. Your future guests discover your venue on Instagram, TikTok, Google and booking platforms before they visit. An atmosphere video, a dish filmed up close or a hotel film shows them the experience better than any description, and feeds your social media for weeks.
Atmosphere video, dish videos or photos: where should you start?
For a restaurant, the most useful trio is an atmosphere video to present the venue, short dish and cocktail videos for social media, and a menu photo shoot for your website and Google Business Profile. For a hotel, a presentation film and photos of the rooms and spaces. Together, we set priorities based on your goals.
How much does a restaurant shoot cost?
The price depends on the amount of content to deliver, the length of the session, the photo/video split and the chosen schedule: a one-off session and a year-round partnership won't have the same budget. Tell me about your venue through the contact form : I'll send you a detailed, free quote within 48 hours.
One-off session or regular schedule?
Both are available. A one-off session is enough for a new menu, an opening or an event. To post all year round, we set a schedule (one session a month, per season or with each new menu) and a calendar built around your key moments, with a consistent look from one post to the next.
How does the session fit around your opening hours?
I adapt to your venue's hours. A session usually lasts 2 to 3 hours and fits into your off-peak hours, before opening or between services, on a timing agreed in advance with you and the chef. Photo and video are done in the same session, or in separate slots when time is short. Everything is wrapped up and cleared away before setup for service.
What videos work for a hotel?
A presentation film showing the exterior, the lobby, the rooms, breakfast and the wellness areas, followed by short formats for social media. For your seminar and event spaces, see also the event video and the corporate video.
Do you film your venue's evenings and events?
Yes. Theme nights, Valentine's Day, new menu launches, DJ nights or private events: I film your events and turn them into short videos to post on your social media that make people want to come to the next one. For seminars and corporate events hosted at your venue, see also the event video.
Can I use the photos and videos everywhere?
Yes, across all your channels: website, social media, Google Business Profile, booking platforms and print materials. Advertising uses (paid campaigns, billboards) are specified in the quote.
What do you receive, and how quickly?
Retouched photos and first videos within 3 to 5 business days after the session. Videos are delivered in vertical format for Instagram, TikTok and stories, and in horizontal format for your website; photos come in formats suited to your social media, website and print materials. Revisions included until you're fully satisfied.
