Restaurant Opening Photography KL
Launch day is your one chance to make a first impression. This all-in-one package captures everything — food shots for your menu, interior ambiance for your website, event coverage of the opening, VIP and guest moments, and social-media-ready content to fuel your first week of posts. Whether you are opening a new cafe in Bangsar, a restaurant in TTDI, or a food concept in a mall, this package ensures you launch with a library of professional content ready to deploy.
What This Service Covers
Complete photography coverage for your restaurant or cafe grand opening — combining food photography, interior and ambiance shots, event documentation, and social media content creation into one intensive session. We arrive before the event starts to shoot the food and interiors, then stay through the opening to capture the energy, the guests, and the milestone moments. By the end of the day, you have enough content for your website, Google Business listing, and at least two weeks of social media posts.

The Process
- Pre-opening coordination — We meet to review your menu highlights, interior design, and event schedule. We plan the food styling shot list with your chef and identify the best angles for your space
- Food and interior session — We arrive 2–3 hours before the opening event. The chef plates signature dishes for photography. We shoot the food with controlled lighting for maximum appetite appeal, then capture the interior while the space is still pristine
- Event coverage — As guests arrive, we shift to documentary mode. Ribbon cutting, speeches, toasts, first diners, VIP moments, and the energy of a packed house. Shot on the Sony A7V with the 24-70mm f/2.8 for flexibility and the Viltrox 85mm f/1.4 for intimate guest portraits
- Quick turnaround — 5–10 social media selects delivered within 48 hours so you can ride the opening day momentum. Full set delivered within 7 days
- Platform optimisation — Images are delivered in multiple formats — square for Instagram, landscape for Facebook, vertical for Stories, and Google-optimised for your Business listing
Why Choose Sorot Studio
Opening day photography usually requires three separate specialists — a food photographer, an event photographer, and someone to handle the social media content. With Sorot Studio, one photographer covers all three. That means one point of contact, one consistent visual style, and one invoice. And because we also build websites, if you need a restaurant website to go live on opening day with all the fresh photography already integrated, we can make that happen too.
Pricing
From RM3,000 for the complete opening day package. Includes food, interior, and event coverage. Add-on video clips for social media from RM500.
