Photo + video in one day · Full usage rights · Quoted per brief
What we shoot
A typical full-day shoot leaves you with the photos for your website, the reels for your socials, and the assets your team can post for the next 30 days — without lifting a camera.
Food photography
Plated dishes, drinks, sharing boards and seasonal menus shot at your venue — menu photography that actually gets used, under your existing light setup, supplemented with continuous lighting.
Restaurant videography
Slow-motion plating, cocktail pours, service moments and atmospheric room shots — edited into hero films and short clips you can reuse forever.
Reels & short-form
9:16 vertical reels engineered for the way people actually watch — fast, captioned, hook in the first second, designed to be shared.
Interior & atmosphere
Architectural-style interior coverage of the dining room, bar and exterior — for your website, Google Business Profile and press kit.
Staff & lifestyle
Portraits of chefs and front-of-house, plus warm lifestyle moments that humanise the brand without feeling staged.
Behind-the-scenes
Service-side coverage of prep, plating and the team in action — the raw material for the storytelling content your audience actually engages with.
What you take away
Every booking comes with full usage rights, organised libraries and platform-specific cuts so nothing sits in a folder waiting to be re-edited.
Photo library
Full-resolution, colour-graded JPGs and TIFFs, organised by dish, area and use case. Ready for menus, website, press and ads.
Edited reels
3–8 short-form videos per shoot day, formatted 9:16 and 4:5, captioned, with bold-text overlays and music cleared for paid use.
Social-ready cuts
A pack of square and portrait crops sized for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and Google Business — no extra editing on your side.
Website assets
Web-optimised hero photos and a short looping background video for your homepage — sized to load fast on a phone.
Proof
Spark Bar & Kitchen on Hoddesdon High Street already had the food, the cocktails and the reviews. We took the photo and video content end-to-end so the brand online finally matched the brand on the street.

Video & reels
Photography fills your feed; video makes people stop scrolling. We shoot and edit short-form video built for the way restaurant audiences actually watch — fast, vertical and made for Instagram, TikTok and paid ads.
Instagram & TikTok reels
Vertical 9:16 reels of your food, drinks and room — fast cuts, real service, no fake plating. Scripted, shot and edited, ready to post.
Short-form video for ads
Hook-first cuts built for paid Meta and TikTok — the first second earns the scroll, the last drives the booking.
Behind-the-scenes & chef stories
The kitchen, the prep, the people — the video that builds a following, not just a feed.
Brand & launch films
A longer hero film for a new opening, a refurb or a press kit: treatment, crew and a colour-graded master.
Owned, ready-to-post files
Captioned, sized correctly for each platform, with music cleared for paid use. Delivered in roughly 5–10 working days.
Filmed with the photos, in one day
Most full-day shoots cover photo and video together, so a single visit feeds a month of content across both.
Where we shoot
We shoot on site, at your venue — food, drinks, interiors and reels, in the light of your own room. We cover venues right across London and the South East; travel within the M25 is included, a little further out on actuals. Regular shoot patches include Soho, Shoreditch, Mayfair and Borough Market, plus Hoddesdon and Hertford near our base.
Pricing
Half-day, full-day or reel pack — pick the size that fits the brief. Pricing includes editing, deliverables and full commercial usage rights.
Every venue is different, so we price each project after a quick chat. No templated tiers, no surprises. Tell us what you need and we’ll send a tailored quote within one working day.

FAQs
Half-day shoots start from £550 (around 25 edited photos or 3 reels), full days from £950 (photo and video together — roughly 50 photos plus 5 reels), and reel packs from £450.

Yes — most of our shoot days are hybrid. Photo and video are planned together so you get a full content set from a single service day: hero food photos, interior, lifestyle, and short-form reels for Instagram and TikTok.
You do. Every shoot includes a full-resolution photo library, edited 9:16 and 4:5 reels, and a colour-graded master copy. No watermarks, no licensing fees, no rebuying your own content.
Photos are delivered within 5 working days, edited reels within 10 working days. Rush turnaround (48 hours) is available on full-day bookings — just ask when you book.
Yes. We bring continuous lighting, modifiers, surfaces and styling kit to every shoot. For full-day bookings we also offer a stylist add-on for plated food, drinks and cocktails.
We typically book out 2–4 weeks ahead during the spring and summer season. Off-season we can usually fit a shoot within the same week. Bookings open via the calendar at /book.
Both — most bookings are a single shoot day covering food photography and restaurant videography together, so you get stills and reels from one visit instead of booking a food photographer and a food videographer separately.
Restaurant videography starts at £450 for a reel pack (three edited short-form reels) and from £950 for a full day combining photo and video with around five reels delivered. Larger brand or launch films with a two-person crew, sound and a treatment start at £1,800. Every quote includes editing and full owned usage.
Yes — reels are core to what we do. We script, shoot and edit vertical 9:16 reels of your food, drinks and service, captioned and sized for Instagram and TikTok, with music cleared for paid use. Most clients get a batch of reels from every shoot day as part of their content.
Every shoot is on location at your venue, so the photos and reels look like your actual room. We cover venues across central London and the South East — Soho, Shoreditch, Mayfair, Kensington, Covent Garden and the City among them. Travel within the M25 is included in the quote; a little further out we charge mileage. Closer to our Hertfordshire base we also shoot in Hoddesdon, Hertford and Ware.
