Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

What happens during a content shoot?

We start with a quick plan of what to capture — dishes, drinks, the space, your team. On the day, we work around your kitchen and staff to get it done with minimal disruption.

Do we need to close the restaurant for filming?

Usually not. Many shoots happen before opening or during quieter hours, and we can capture live service when you want that energy on camera.

Can we use the photos and videos on our website and social media?

Yes — the content is made for you to use across your marketing. We'll walk through usage details together before we start.

Do you post the content or help with captions?

No — posting and captions stay with you. We plan, shoot, and edit, then hand everything over ready to publish, so you or your team decide when it goes out and what it says.

Do you manage our social media accounts?

No. Our focus is planning, shooting, and editing content — you keep the accounts, the posting, and the voice.

Do you offer one-time shoots and ongoing packages?

Yes. Some clients start with a single shoot; others prefer an ongoing partnership for fresh content each month.
