Doubletree by Hilton Regina bound!

Recently I was tasked with the opportunity to work with the Doubletree by Hilton Regina on a multi-day marketing campaign. Because of the amount of gear I have to travel with, going by road was the best solution. The trip, if only stopping for short breaks takes between 13.5-14 hours. It’s a bit of a haul but the prairies, after leaving BC make for a fairly leisurely drive.

Doubletree Hilton Project goals

This specific project involved a diverse workload, including food and beverage, new renovations and aerial / drone work. For food and beverage we captured various dishes, the new bar and restaurant renovations and drinks. These were shot with both natural and artificial lighting, using the mood of the bar’s backdrop.

Other renovation images included ballrooms, meeting spaces, a coffee bar, the lobby and reception area and fitness room. The only spaces that we had to wait on were the room renovations. Those will be finished in 2026.

Aerial / drone work

Near the end of the assignment myself and the Marketing Director proceeded to capture aerial images of the exterior of the hotel and its property. We accomplished that using a variety of angles and elevations that showed both the architecture and the surrounding cityscape.

The people

One of the joys of having this career is the people I have the opportunity to work with. This project was no different. In fact I was treated exceptionally well from the moment I arrived on location. We spent half a day prepping for the first morning, which was instrumental in putting together strong content. The entire staff was professional, courteous and very hard working. I couldn’t have asked for a better team!
