1900 Inn on Montford - Updated Photos for an Original Asheville B&B

We connected in late winter/early spring for photos. The innkeepers at 1900 Inn on Montford and I were very excited to get going on this project - photographing every guest room, guest bathroom, common area, exterior and innkeeper portraits for their updated website!

As ready as we were, I had to recommend waiting for early summer to capture the beautiful greenery around their property. Waiting about 3 months could make all the difference in how you see the views through your guest room windows, how the exterior shots look and it shows the guest how beautiful the B&B is during the busy summer season.

The wait was worth it, it's important to think big picture when investing in projects like this for your small business!

As a special extra offer, I visited the inn in March to capture this gorgeous pink cherry blossom tree out front which only blooms for 2-3 weeks each spring. I couldn't miss that!

A special shout-out and thank you to the Mountain Laurel Digital team, here in Asheville, for working with us on this project! I highly recommend the MLD team for all your SEO needs. 

Although I have my own photography style, when I work with brands I aim for what's best for their aesthetic. 1900 Inn on Montford wanted photos that showed off their guest rooms that weren't too dark, a problem they've had in the past. I love a moody image but I agree that we want the the rooms in the B&B to feel light, comfortable and welcoming. I made sure to keep the look as natural as possible while brightening up the space even if though was rainy on the shoot day - sometimes you have to fake the beautiful sunlight! 

Another request was to make the colors robust. I was happy to make the colors pop for their liking! The greenery outdoors was beautiful in June when we shot and I definitely wanted to highlight that. Check out their gorgeous garden below!

The first image from this post is possibly my favorite of the collection, just a simple shot of their swinging bench on the front porch.

​It epitomizes how I see a Bed & Breakfast and gives me all the feelings of booking a summer getaway in the mountains. Comfort, nature and sweet details like the wind chimes and planter. What draws you in to the B&B experience?
