In-Studio

Photography and Video Production in Studio

Originally built as the garage for The Burkhardt Brewing Co. in 1920, our 8,000 sq ft studio has a ton of character and gives us a lot to work with. Beyond the 50’x50’ studio floor, we have plenty of other beautiful spaces giving us a wide variety of looks. For us, this space combined with decades of experience doing studio shoots is a real win.

Right at home

While we spend a lot of time shooting on location, there’s no place like home. With tons of gear and all the amenities you can imagine, we can get pretty comfortable here. That comfort extends to our clients and guests as well. From refreshing outdoor spaces to our inviting green room and client editing suite, you too will feel right at home.

Everything is under control

One of the primary advantages to shooting in our studio is control. While we love our time on location, the ability to blackout the entire studio gives us full control of our light, allowing massive blue and green screen backdrops, moody night scenes, or sunsets that last for days. Combined with a workshop to build nearly any set imaginable, shooting in our studio is a treat. Some highlights of the studio include:

Wall to wall fun.

We have shot video and photography throughout our entire building. We’ve created various looks in different spaces–a dorm room, dining room, multiple offices, commercial kitchen, and more. Ground level garage door entrance gives easy access to our studio space for deliveries large and small and with  more than enough gear in-house, multiple shoots can happen simultaneously. Some of our favorite “bonus rooms” to shoot in are.

We’d love to help you explore the studio space!

No matter the size of your project, our controlled and comfortable space will suit you well. Or if you’re in a place where you’d like to “just look”, we’d be happy to host you for a visit.
