Professional Food Beverage and Dessert Photography and Branding Video with a Holiday Theme

The Point Kitchen & Bar restaurant in Santa Cruz, California was well decorated for the holidays and wanted a branding video made that they could specifically use at the holiday time of year. They also had a series of menu items to be photographed for use on their website and in other marketing materials and on their social media accounts. I coordinated with them in making the video and guided the staff to make it a team effort to get the best action shots of food being cooked, beverages being poured, and the staff interacting with customers. The menu item portion of the shoot also was in sync with the kitchen bringing out each item in a timely manner for it to be photographed at its maximum visual appeal on the plate. After a few dishes were photographed on their own, I styled them next to each other for a high impact hero shot that is fantastic to use as a banner image on a restaurant’s website and as a highlight image for social media. There was even room for dessert! The restaurant had no previous professional photos of their desserts so they brought out a wide variety of their sweet offerings.
