What kind of restaurants do you work with?

Everything from a new neighborhood spot to an established fine-dining room, plus bars, cafés, bakeries, and hospitality groups. The common thread is care: if you sweat the details on the plate, we sweat them on camera. We shoot across New York City and the Hudson Valley.

How fast do I get the photos and videos back?

A same-week selects gallery is standard on most shoots, so you have publish-ready hero images within days. Full retouched photo galleries are delivered within one to two weeks; brand films and reels typically land in two to three weeks depending on edit complexity. Need something for a launch date? Tell us up front and we will build the timeline around it.

Do you handle the food styling, or do we?

We handle styling and prop direction on set, working hand-in-hand with your kitchen. Your team plates the food the way it actually goes out; we make sure it photographs at its absolute best — the right angle, the right light, the freshest possible moment. For larger shoots we can bring in a dedicated food stylist.

Can you shoot during service, or do we have to close?

No need to close. Most menu and ambiance work is shot before or between services, and brand films are often built around real service energy because that is what feels authentic. We plan a tight shot list in advance so the shoot runs efficiently and stays out of your team’s way.

What does a typical project cost?

Every project is scoped to your menu, your space, and how much content you need, so pricing is custom. As a guide, focused dish-photography shoots, brand-film days, and monthly social retainers each sit at their own tier. Send us your goals through the contact form and we will send back a clear, itemized proposal.

Do you offer ongoing monthly content?

Yes — it is one of our most popular options. A monthly retainer means a recurring shoot day, a planned content calendar, and a steady pipeline of photos and short-form videos so your feed never goes quiet between launches. It is the most cost-effective way to stay consistently in front of diners.

Will the content work for delivery apps and reservations platforms?

Absolutely. We deliver every image in the crops and ratios those platforms need — square and vertical for Grubhub, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Resy, and OpenTable, plus wide formats for your website and printed menus. Strong hero images measurably lift conversion on third-party apps.

Who owns the photos and videos?

You receive a full commercial usage license to use the work across your website, social channels, paid ads, delivery apps, press, and print. Licensing terms are spelled out clearly in your proposal so there are never any surprises about where and how you can use your content.

Can you replace the placeholder images with our real food?

That is exactly the plan. The imagery on this site is curated placeholder photography to show the style and treatment. Once we shoot your restaurant, your real dishes, room, and team take their place — same warm, editorial look, built entirely around you.
