Phase One: Pre-Renovation Architectural Fly-Through

Our initial engagement took place prior to any renovations, with the goal of capturing the existing lobby and restaurant spaces and establishing the building’s architectural presence and urban context.

The fly-through begins above the Rose Kennedy Greenway, setting the scene before flowing through the front entrance, lobby, and restaurant. The camera then exits the rear of the building and lifts above the Boston Tea Party Museum, reinforcing the property’s waterfront location and visibility.

This phase focused on spatial continuity, flow, and context—providing a clear visual understanding of the asset before transformation.

Phase Two: Modular Event & Ballroom Showcase

Following the initial fly-through, we were brought back to document InterContinental Boston’s modular ballroom and event spaces while the property was fully operational.

During this shoot, the hotel was hosting two weddings simultaneously, each with ceremony and reception rotations. We flew drones through the ballrooms while staged for both configurations, capturing the scale, flexibility, and transition capability of the spaces.

This phase highlighted the asset’s ability to support multiple concurrent events—an important consideration for event planners, sales teams, and ownership groups evaluating revenue-generating square footage.

Phase Three: Post-Renovation Luxury Repositioning

Following the completion of major renovations, InterContinental Boston engaged us for a third time to create a new hero video and photography suite focused on luxury, experience, and lifestyle.

This phase marked the property’s official repositioning after renovation. We casted actors to represent a modern luxury guest experience and directed scenes throughout the newly renovated lobby, bar, and restaurant.

The video now serves as the primary website banner, becoming the first impression for visitors to the property online.
