Hospitality Photography

Full Lock Media has been in business since 2005. In 2008 we transitioned to shooting hospitality commercials on a whim, and through word of mouth and recommendations became one of the premiere video teams for hospitality based work. We have been the primary approved video vendor for Starwood Hotels and Resorts North America, working alongside the Brand Design team to create stories that work within the experience of each brand. At times the workload for Starwood was so heavy that I lead a dedicated team of 12 individuals working on it. Ive never had a sales team, instead allowing our work and knowledge of hospitality and story telling to speak for itself.

Although vocationally trained in photography and production management, I spent my time completing video work for Hospitality because that is where the demand was. As a natural story teller, the ability to jump in and produce work for restaurants and hotels felt natural to me, and it kept us busy enough to focus mostly on those clients.

We pride ourselves in the ability to find the natural, magical moments that happen around us to help tell an honest story. When creating a video about a city, or a property or space, We find it's important to immerse yourself in the environment to tell the full story - to capture the intangible moments of every day life that may go unnoticed to the untrained eye.

Since 2008, we have created over 40 hours of completed, edited and approved video for hospitality clients alone. It generally takes about 30-45 minutes of footage for every 1 minute of approved video. Broken down to an average of 2 minute videos, that comes out to 1200 edited and approved works for over 500 marketing campaigns - from hotels, CVBs, theme and state parks and beyond. This does not even take into account the music videos, commercials and short films we have created.
