Rouse Productions is where artistry meets hospitality. Founded by Jonathan Rouse, we specialize in luxury resort and hotel photography that captures not just spaces, but experiences. Every image is meticulously composed to reflect elegance, atmosphere, and the essence of place—transforming properties into unforgettable destinations.
With a refined eye for detail and a dedication to excellence, we partner with premier hotels and resorts to create timeless visuals that elevate brand presence and inspire guests before they ever arrive. At Rouse Photography, your first impression is your only impression—and we ensure it is unforgettable.
This can only be taught from 23 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I understand that a successful photoshoot is as much about seamless collaboration as it is about capturing beautiful imagery. We work closely with meeting planners, engineering, housekeeping, culinary teams, and other key departments to clearly define responsibilities, communicate timelines, and ensure every detail is coordinated in advance.
Knowing who handles what, and when, allows us to plan shoots for the optimal times—capturing natural light, prime activity areas, and the property at its absolute best—without interfering with operations. Our team dresses in all-black collared attire to blend discreetly into the environment, and we treat every guest with the same respect and care as your staff, understanding that they’ve invested their time and resources to enjoy the property—not participate in a photoshoot.
This approach ensures a smooth, professional, and respectful shoot that delivers exceptional images while maintaining the luxury guest experience your property is known for.
The number of images I capture in a day depends on the scope of the property and the level of styling required, but my focus is always on creating images that are intentional, refined, and true to your brand. On average, a full-day shoot results in **5-7 fully composed, high-impactful images interiors from standard kings, to meeting spaces and bathrooms. Smaller spaces can be more challenging to hide lights. Unlike volume-based photography, my approach prioritizes quality over quantity. Each image is carefully styled, lit, and crafted to ensure it conveys the elegance and atmosphere of your property. This deliberate process allows us to create photography that resonates with your target guest and serves as a powerful sales and marketing tool across all platforms.
In short, I don’t aim to deliver “as many photos as possible.” I aim to deliver the **right images**—those that make the strongest first impression and elevate your brand.
All images come with unlimited usage rights transferrable with the property. This includes web, social media, and print. Our goal is to ensure your investment delivers long-term value across every platform, without limitations that hinder your marketing strategy. We also use the images to promate and market our services and include the property brand whenever possible. Our images last 10+ years and we are known for timeless luxury style.
Preparation is key. Before any shoot, we’ll conduct a comprehensive brand review with your marketing team, ensuring we understand tone, aesthetic, and messaging. Together we can create shot lists, establish visual priorities, and schedule the best times for each area to capture ideal lighting and activity. This meticulous planning guarantees every image is not only visually stunning but also consistent across website, social media, print, and any in house materials.
We encourage any project-specific questions. Every property is unique with your goals, challenges, and vision before a shoot. Capturing spaces that aren’t quite ready, retouching existing images to match your new portfolio. Adding chandeliers or curtains, or carpet that didn’t come in yet. We can’t solve world peace but We’ve got these challenges! Open communication ensures that the final images not only meet, but exceed expectations. From pre-shoot planning to delivery, I’m available to discuss details, offer professional guidance, and adjust the plan so your property is represented in the most compelling, luxurious way possible.
