Photo, video and web,for your venue.

Hospitality photography, video and websites for restaurants, cafes and bars across Melbourne, including the South East. We shoot the food, drinks, room and people so customers can see what a visit feels like. Recurring shoots keep the content moving with your menu, seasons and events, with photography and video edited by the same team.

Updated

Before the shoot

Plan around the menu and the room.

A hospitality shoot needs more than a list of dishes. It needs a service window, food ready at the right moment and a clear idea of what the venue has coming up.

Pick what needs to be seen.

Choose the menu items, drinks, spaces and people that tell the story of the venue now. Add seasonal changes or an upcoming event to the brief, with the date the finished content is needed.

Work with the service plan.

Agree a shoot window with the kitchen and front-of-house team. Plan the order of dishes and drinks so they can be photographed and filmed while they look their best.

Show the full visit.

Food brings people in, but the room, bar, team and details help them picture being there. Include those frames alongside close-ups, with clear permission for anyone featured.

What we make

One team, from shoot to site.

Food, drinks and venue photography

Menu dishes, cocktails, coffee, interiors and the people behind service. The photographs are made for your own venue and delivered for the website, social channels and other agreed uses.

Food being prepared, a drink coming together or a short event promotion. We plan, film and edit the footage, with the story and final uses agreed around what your venue has coming up.

Questions we get

What should we prepare for a restaurant photo and video shoot?

Confirm the dishes, drinks, spaces and people you want to show, then agree a service window with your team. Include any seasonal menu or event dates. We work through the shot list and intended uses before the day.

Can you photograph food and film reels in the same shoot?

Yes. We plan photography and video together so the same dishes, drinks and setting can serve both. The brief sets out what needs photographing, what needs filming and which edits your team needs.

Can you create content for a seasonal menu or an event?

Yes. Tell us what is changing or being promoted and when the content needs to be ready. We agree the photography, video and editing around that brief. Circa 1884’s case study includes examples of food, cocktail and event films.

Do you manage our social media accounts?

We plan, shoot and edit the photography and video, then deliver the files. Your team handles posting and running the accounts. This keeps the production scope clear from the start.

Do you work with cafes and restaurants in South East Melbourne?

Yes. We are based in South East Melbourne and work across Melbourne and Victoria. Our hospitality work includes Circa 1884 in Berwick and Five Farms Cafe in Clyde North.

Start with the brief

Tell us what is on the menu.

Bring the menu, the next event or the website you need to update. We use the 30 minute brief to work out the shoot, the edit and what comes next.
