Hyatt Place – Chris and Cami Photography

Over the last few weeks I’ve had the privilege of photographing a number of amazing engineering and site-design projects for Seamon Whiteside.

“SW+ IS A LEADER OF ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS, LOW-IMPACT ADVANCEMENTS IN ENGINEERING AND SITE DESIGN. WE BLEND CIVIL ENGINEERING AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE TO CREATE HOLISTIC ENVIRONMENTS.”

The assignment involved photographing key environmental, ergonomic, and human comfort aspects of properties developed by their team of engineers, including: the new Blackbaud property, Governor’s Park, the Family Circle Tennis Center, Wharf 7 Apartments, 254 Seven Farms Drive, Bridgeside at Patriots Point, Hyatt Place at Towne Center, and Oyster Point subdivision.

Hyatt Place Hotels & Resorts is having the Grand Opening of their 150^th company wide location. And it’s right here in Charleston next week! I’ve shot for Judy, their new Director of Sales, before when she was with another company. So it was wonderful of her to remember me and call to ask if I’d continue working with her and photograph their opening ceremony next week! But before then, they needed a photo of the new hotel to use in promoting the big event. So I zipped up there last night and got this dramatic image right at dusk. Sure I got a few funny looks from folks driving by…but standing on the roof of my SUV, parked on the sidewalk, in the drizzly rain, with my tripod and camera, was the only way to get the angle I wanted.
