Commercial Work - Abigail's Inn, Victoria, B.C.

This is the Orchid Room and exterior of "Abigails's Inn" in Victoria, B.C.

A most gorgeous place to stay if you ever get the chance!



The above photos were used in a story in a Bed and Breakfast Inns magazine.
The others in this section were used in the story and in their regular advertising.

The next two were used on two different magazine covers...


The hotel exterior was used on the cover of Inn Traveler Winter cover.
The hotel interior was used on North American Inns - Winter Luxury Issue.



On this shoot, the client wanted everything from 'lifestyle' type portraits,



of people enjoying themselves,
as shown above,



to interior shots of food



and different rooms around the Inn for their website advertising.






The most welcoming thing I found about the Inn while staying there, besides the absolutely phenominal service, was their lovely robes.

I added a photo of the robes for their "romance package" on their website - as shown below.




This Inn is all class.

And the owner, Ellen Cmolik, is at the top of my list of incredible businesses.

Why?

The photo below shows it all.

This is Ellen serving her staff breakfast. She does this every week. She makes sure her staff know they are just as important as the clients. And by treating them well, and by having regular friendly staff meetings over breakfast, she shows them how she wants the guests treated. Ellen reflects the importance of service, not by yelling at staff, as many establishments do, but by treating them with respect and curtesy.

This is not something seen at every workplace, believe me!



I highly recommend Abigail's Inn!
