Behind the Scenes with Home Design Photo Shoots
Designing and building dream spaces for families in Orange County is our specialty and we are passionate about it. Each employee on our team from the Director of 1st Impressions to your Designer to the Structural Engineer, Draftsmen, Project Managers, Carpenters, and Installers…we all LOVE what we do and take incredible pride in our work to make your home a more functional and beautiful place for your family to enjoy.
As you can see with the abbreviated list of team members above that we have you covered from start to finish in designing and building a space that you will treasure. We treasure it as well since it’s our careers and life work to provide these services. As such we take pride in photographing as many jobs as we can to share with the world, the beautifully designed spaces and the team of talent you get when you choose Sea Pointe Design & Remodel as your design build firm. It’s also a nice gift to our clients to share their dream space with friends. We’ve seen clients that have a reveal party and use these photos on the invitation. We also have seen clients use these on Zillow to show how impeccable and gorgeous their home value in on the inside.
Photo shoots are one of our favorite days where we get to take it all in from every angle, any way we can. You may not picture what it takes to capture a lot of spaces with a lens. Sometimes our tri-pods have to do gymnastics to get the right shot. Sometimes our photog takes the same shot with several different types of lighting and different lenses. And sometimes the photographer has to take 3 photos from left to right to get a wide enough angle to share a large space. We typically have 3 different folks checking different screens for proper angle, lighting, staging, feature positioning, minimizing reflections, and the quintessential shot that makes you feel like you want to love and live in this space!
We start with our shot list and staging to be sure we cover every important design feature and position the scene so you can picture yourself living here. You will note below (all untouched photos from behind the scenes – photographer images are still being processed) some of the priorities to show styles and features.
Quartz waterfall countertop detail was on our “shot list” to feature.
Custom quartz farm sink apron shown as well as custom cabinetry used to panel over the dishwasher and trash receptacles.
Electrical outlet with push, pop-up functionality in island enabling waterfall sides.
We like capturing the making of so we can give you sneak peaks into our design spaces that we’re so proud and excited to share with the world. Below you will see our videographer framing up a gorgeous California room with all the trimmings of a kitchen.
We love collaborating and designing with our clients but need to market for the masses; so you will see in this photo that this stunning custom marble and glass enclosed full-sized beverage center (on the right) can have neon pink illumination, neon blue, or the basic white. For marketing purposes we share the traditional white color. For our own pleasure and the clients, we absolutely adore the state in which the client likes to keep their design (PINK). See all finished professional photos below.
We also like to show features that a lot of home owners may not know are available to them. These double islands have push release cabinets on every side of each island. On the custom designed mirrored ends, you will find spice racks. You will also note the same mirrors used on the island end caps were also used on each side of the custom beverage center. These decorative coverings are hiding the functional firdge and freezer on each side of the custom beverage bar. Below you will see the island on the left has more custom cabinetry design covering double dish washers on each side of the sink.
Unfortunately we did not get a shot of our photographer in the kitchen pantry so he could shoot the butler pantry with bar and coffeee station. That was a tight squeeze! After 34 years of designing and building, we continue to learn new ways to market and new ways to share our “cut above” design concepts and quality construction in Orange County. Photography and video continue to be as they say, “worth a thousand words” and we believe these remodeling photos enable you to actually feel the space emotionally. After all, the space you live in is the same space you want to feel safe, comfortable, functional, and happy in all the time. It’s amazing what a make-over can do for your home.
Give us a ring when you’re ready to start dreaming about a new space, new design, and new function. (949) 861-3400
