Photoshoot for La Playa Hotel
/La Playa Hotel is a bespoke luxury hotel in the dreamy Carmel-by-the-Sea. They recently underwent some major renovations and back in March, I was hired to shoot photos that captured their new look, as well as new menu items at the restaurant and bar on their property, Bud’s, for them to use on their social media. I have been working with the hospitality group that owns La Playa since pretty early on in my photography career (before the pandemic) and it is always so meaningful to be asked back by old clients because it means they were truly happy with my work.
For this shoot, their marketing team wanted to focus on little details and interesting vignettes that make staying here feel like an elegant and uniquely luxe experience. I noticed a motif of deep greens and a “modern coastal retreat” meets “old glamour” vibe and I held these themes in my mind as I approached the shoot. These days, I don’t do many on-site shoots, but I had so much fun sourcing props for this one and the team is always so lovely to work with.
Here are some of my favorite photos from the work I did for La Playa Hotel and Bud’s.
