Dolly Parton’s SongTeller Hotel

Hospitality photography for a luxury boutique hotel in downtown Nashville, TN.

Client: Ideas Collide

I was commissioned to photograph a collection of guest rooms, suites, bathrooms, and custom details throughout the property. The photography needed to communicate the overall design of each space while also preserving the smaller moments that make the hotel distinctive. From concert-ticket murals and instrument displays to custom vanities, lighting, artwork, and carefully integrated references to Dolly Parton’s legacy.

Planning for the project began nearly a year before the shoot and included an advance scouting trip and detailed production schedule. The final photography was completed in a single full shoot day, producing approximately 39 finished images. The resulting image library balances wide architectural views with more intimate compositions, giving the hotel a cohesive set of photography for marketing, editorial, public relations, and other brand uses.
