How much does restaurant videography cost in Las Vegas?

A single-day shoot covering 4 to 6 hero dishes plus ambient and chef portraits runs $2,500 to $5,000. A full brand package with a 60-second hero film, a chef story, and a monthly Reels package starts around $8,500. Hospitality groups on retainer typically run $3,500 to $7,500 per month.

When should we shoot to get the best food footage?

Between lunch and dinner service, or before doors open. The kitchen is cleaner, the line isn't slammed, and the chef can plate calmly for hero shots. Most Las Vegas restaurants we shoot block a 2 to 4 hour window between 2pm and 5pm.

Do we need to close the restaurant?

Not for most shoots. We work around service with low-profile gear and a small crew. For hero brand films with talent and dolly setups, a soft close or off-day shoot gets a cleaner final cut.

Can you photograph the menu and food at the same time?

Yes. Photo and video shoot on the same day by default. You get menu-grade stills and Reels footage from one production day, which saves a second shoot fee.

Las Vegas restaurant videography that fills the floor.

Cinematic Las Vegas chef plating an elegant dish under warm pendant lighting

Vegas restaurants live and die by Instagram. A 15-second Reel of the kitchen can fill Saturday for a month. Here's how restaurant videography in Las Vegas works, and what a year of marketing from one shoot day looks like.

What we shoot

Hero dishes. Slow pour, slow plating, steam, sizzle. The shots that make people screenshot the menu.
Chef portrait and story. 60 to 90 seconds. Why this restaurant. What's on the plate.
Kitchen energy. The fire, the pass, the calls, the dance. Fast cuts, real sound.
Dining room and bar. Mood, lighting, the room at peak.
Server moments. Bottle pop, tableside finish, the cocktail at the bar.
Stills. Menu-grade food photography from the same day.

The sweet spot

Shoot between 2pm and 5pm, between lunch and dinner. The kitchen has reset, the chef can plate calmly, and natural light still moves through the dining room. We get cinematic hero shots without disrupting service.

Pricing

$2,500 to $5,000: Single-day shoot. 4 to 6 hero dishes, ambient kitchen and dining room, chef portrait. Delivery in 2 weeks.

$3,500 to $7,500 per month: Hospitality retainer. Monthly half-day shoot, ongoing Reels, social calendar support.
