Holiday Cottages
I have worked with hundreds of cottage owners over the years and I also own my own holiday cottage. Therefore I have a good understanding of the whole holiday cottage business and how I can make life easier for owners.
For example, many cottages are owned by people who often live some distance away from the property; I am happy to arrange key collection and take care of the whole process if required. I can dress the property with suitable props (flowers, fresh bread etc) and return keys when finished. It just makes life easier for you if you can't be present.
A lot of photographers just take pictures with no thought of room presentation or dressing which is a real shame. Styling the property is essential in my opinion. It really brings the property to life and helps potential guests actually see themselves in your cottage.
Before the shoot we can have a good chat to discuss ideas for your property shoot, ensuring that you get the best results possible.
Holiday Cottage Photography
I regularly work for many leading cottage agencies such as Crabtree & Crabtree, Large Holiday Houses, Stay Northumbria, Holidays at Home and Unique Home Stays. Its worth mentioning that good photography makes it so much easier to get good publicity for your property and my photographs regularly appear in both the printed press and on various websites.
Once an appointment has been agreed, I will attend and style and prepare the cottage for photography. This will involve removing certain items (bins, washing up brushes, etc) as well as adding suitable props such as fresh bread and fruit.

An eye for detail is essential and I always keep in mind that the images need to be used for whatever marketing you choose, whether its social media or a listing site. Very simply good photographs lead to more enquiries and more bookings. Take a look at My Guide to Photographing Your Holiday Cottage which you can also download.
We also offer an aerial photography service using an unmanned drone to take spectacular images from the air.
