Aloft Wichita

A renovation shoot timed around a full house — this project in Wichita was all about flexibility, smart planning, and a little dusk light magic.

Project
Client:
Aloft Hotel, Crestline Hotels
Location:
Wichita, Kansas, USA
Time:
March 2025
Shoot Type:
Renovation Update
Challenge:

A large group was checking in in the middle of the days I had available to shoot and they had meetings and events in the hotel. It was also going to make public spaces busy for when I needed to shoot.

Solution:

I arrived on property over the weekend from a previous shoot in Michigan and as the weather was good I decided to make a head start on the exterior dusk shots with help from the assistant GM and his team. We
blocked off the entrance and I captured a couple of exterior dusk shots that were on the list, giving myself more time to work the other shots around the in-house group.

Final Deliverables:

25 Images delivered via online gallery and uploaded to the Marriott DAC

Usage:

Official Marriott Web Site, OTA’s and other marketing platforms as well as internal presentations.
