FAQ — Boca Chica
- Do you only shoot casual restaurants, or fine dining too?
- Fine dining is exactly what this page shows — Boca Marina is a gourmet restaurant, and the same attention to plating detail applies to any upscale menu.
- How do you handle plating that needs to look perfect?
- We coordinate timing with the chef so each dish is shot fresh off the kitchen, at its best — not reheated or left sitting.
- Do you shoot at sunset or in the evening for ambiance?
- Yes — several photos on this page were shot specifically at golden hour to capture the waterfront ambiance, which matters for a marina-front restaurant.
- What's included for a full gourmet restaurant shoot?
- The Premium package covers dishes, kitchen in action, bar, and ambiance in 3 hours. For a full menu and brand campaign, we scope a custom full-day project instead.
