The Keating Hotel is the perfect marriage between modern and historic. The building is a registered historic building full of beautiful brick walls and the original steam powered elevator. To modernize things Ferrari car designer Pininfarina was brought in during the hotel’s renovation to design the hotel rooms and decor.
We had worked with Sarah from Urban Style Wedding Network on a couple of themed photo shoots so when she came to us saying she wanted something new and different we immediately thought of The Keating. All of us being based in San Diego were used to working at the beach and shooting in Balboa Park. But Sarah wanted a location with brick and urban character for her modern wedding dress photo shoot.
Starbucks planning meetings commenced, The Keating was in and excited and vendors were contacted.
Come shoot day The Keating was absolutely amazing and gave us full run of the hotel, from a third floor corner suite, to their vault in the basement. Sarah pulled a mix of elegant and edgy wedding dresses and the models wore them exceptionally well. Sandra Nicole Designs came in and styled all the jewelry accessoires. Disco Toes brought in an array of fun custom shoes (that I totally wanted to steal and take home). Thorne Artistry and Melissa Rae & Co , our wonderful hair and makeup ladies, rocked out amazing look after amazing look. This was a photo shoot that we will not soon forget. A big THANKS to everyone involved.
