Things to Consider Before Taking Photos

  • Plan Your Photoshoot with Lighting in Mind
    Natural light is your best friend. Aim to take photos during daylight hours when your space is well-lit. If your restaurant has large windows, position yourself so the light comes from the side or behind you.

  • Plan to Take Photos Without Clients
    Showcase your space when it’s empty so potential clients can easily envision themselves and their event in the setting. This helps them imagine the space as their own.

  • Highlight Key Spaces and Unique Details
    Show off your Sub Listings, such as the dining area, private dining room, and any lounge or outdoor spaces. Capture details that make your venue unique!

Tips for Taking Photos

  • Take Horizontal Photos
    Horizontal photos capture a wider view, making it easier for potential clients to see the full layout of your space.

  • Shoot Straight Ahead
    Position your camera level with the middle of your scene. Shooting straight on provides a clean, professional look.

  • Use a High-Quality Camera or Smartphone
    A quality camera or recent smartphone model will produce sharp, clear images that show your venue at its best.

Updating Photos

  • Showcase Event-Ready Photos
    Potential clients want to visualize your space set up for events. Consider adding photos of your venue prepared for various gatherings, whether a formal dinner, casual meetup, or festive celebration. This helps clients imagine hosting their own event there and shows how your restaurant can adapt to different occasions.

  • Seasonal Photos
    Showcase your space in different seasons to highlight any special decor or seasonal features you may offer.

  • Take New Photos After Updates or Renovations
    If you’ve updated your space or made renovations, take new photos to keep your listing current and appealing.
