Bringing modern Southern hospitality to life through the lens of Wilmington’s past and present, Hotel Ballast is a fresh take on a beloved riverfront gem. The city’s rich maritime history is felt throughout, balanced by new guest experiences, including dining at the riverfront Board and Barrel Coastal Kitchen, lingering over locally roasted coffee at Buffalo Bayou, and savoring stunning waterfront and skyline views from 272 newly upgraded guest rooms and suites.

We worked with the wonderful staff and local talent to produce an uplifted and elevated set of imagery to help reinvigorate the look and feel of the Spa.

Photographing luxury hotels and resorts requires an ability to not only capture the “feel” of a property, but its innate beauty as well. He needs to tell a story within the imagery, and create the essence of the experience. The product should sell the dream, not just the beds.
