Pacifica Marina del Rey Hotel | Los Angeles Hotel Photographer

The Marina del Rey Hotel is a beautiful 4-star hotel and is a part of Pacifica’s line up of amazing boutique hotels along the California coast.

In addition to the lovely rooms, the hotel boasts a variety of amenities including a beautiful sunset view of the sailboats on the terrace, an outdoor pool, and a bar onsite.

On this photoshoot, I worked directly with the marketing manager of the hotel to produce a variety of interior, outdoor, and lifestyle photos for the team’s digital marketing. I also collaborated with actress and model DeAnza Banuelos as a creative director to produce the client’s intended vision.

For this collaboration, I met with the marketing manager at the hotel in person to look over the hotel, understand the lighting setup, and went over wardrobe details with the model to capture the spring aesthetic of this photoshoot.

Another important detail to consider during this photoshoot was the lighting. The photoshoot took place at around noon when the sun was at its harshest. Therefore, I decided to start indoors and have DeAnza arrive at around 2:00 and start taking photos in the shade so that there’d be even lighting on her face.

We worked until sunset, which allowed us to capture some beautiful golden hour images overlooking the sailboats from the terrace.

My photography was featured on the main page of their mobile site, as well as on the homepage of Pacifica Hotel’s website. You can see more details about the hotel’s amenities on their website.

“Brian was such a pleasure to work with. He is professional, comes prepared, and the best part – takes beautiful photos! He takes direction well but also has an amazing creative eye and catches beauty in every shot. He is humble and overall a great photographer to work with.”
