Recent Shoots

Five Recent Holiday Let Shoots, Start to Finish

Five recent holiday let shoots, each with the full set of frames I delivered and a link to the written case study. Every one of these was photographed by me, on location, and the same approach applies to your property in Devon.

Glamping, dawn to dusk

Collie Shepherds Huts

Langport, Somerset

Read the case study

Two luxury shepherd's huts on the Somerset Levels, photographed across three sessions in a single day: soft dawn interiors, practical daylight detail, then lit fire pits and glowing windows at dusk.

Luxury lodge

Ochre Hill

Elton, Gloucestershire

Read the case study

A one-bedroom luxury cabin on the edge of the Forest of Dean, shot to feel like an escape rather than a floor plan. Drone frames prove the seclusion and the outdoor stone bath gets the coverage it deserves, because that is the image guests screenshot and send to their partner.

City Airbnb

Prince's Street

St Pauls, Bristol

Read the case study

A characterful terraced house in St Pauls, photographed for a competitive city market. Every room, the flexible twin second bedroom, and the street art on the doorstep, so guests understand both the house and the neighbourhood they are booking.

Pre-launch Airbnb

A-Frame Eco Lodge

Herefordshire

Read the case study

A pre-launch shoot for an A-frame eco lodge set in open Herefordshire farmland. Architecture, hot tub, fire pit and the mezzanine loft, all tied back to the view that the whole building is designed around.

Premium holiday let

Must Stay Again Cottage

Tetbury, Cotswolds

Read the case study

A beautifully styled Cotswold stone cottage managed by Must Stay Again. The set covers the refined interiors and the branded touches, with detail frames that show the level of care a guest is paying for.

Devon Holiday Let Photography

Why Professional Photos Matter for Devon Bookings

Devon is one of England's most competitive holiday let markets. Thousands of properties compete for guests across Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, from beachfront apartments in Woolacombe to luxury retreats in the South Hams. Professional photography is the single most effective way to stand out, command higher nightly rates, and fill your calendar through the shoulder seasons when competition for bookings intensifies.

Devon's unique coastal light creates exceptional conditions for property photography. The soft, warm quality of light reflected off the sea fills rooms with a natural brightness that photographs beautifully. I understand how to work with this light, timing shoots to capture your property at its most inviting. Whether it's the golden hour glow through a sea-view window or the dramatic backdrop of the Devon coastline behind your terrace, every image is composed to show guests exactly what they're booking.

I'm based in Somerset, which puts me within easy reach of the entire county. I work regularly with Airbnb hosts, holiday let management companies, and travel brands throughout Devon. Every shoot includes professional wide-angle interiors, carefully composed exteriors, and drone photography where conditions allow.

What's Included in Every Shoot

  • Professional wide-angle interior photography of every room
  • Exterior and garden shots, with drone aerials where appropriate
  • Lifestyle-styled images that capture the Devon coastal and countryside character
  • Optimised for Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and your own website
  • 48-hour turnaround as standard (24hr express available)
  • Full commercial usage rights included

Areas I Cover

Holiday Let Photography Across Devon

I photograph Airbnb and holiday let properties throughout Devon. Each part of the county has its own character, its own type of guest, and its own photographic opportunities.

North Devon Surf Coast: Croyde, Woolacombe & Saunton

The North Devon coast attracts surfers, families and adventure seekers year-round. Holiday lets here range from beachfront apartments with Atlantic views to converted barns tucked behind the dunes. Photography focuses on the coastal light, outdoor living spaces, and proximity to the beach that guests are searching for. Drone shots are particularly effective for showing how close a property sits to the shoreline.

South Hams: Salcombe, Dartmouth & Kingsbridge

The South Hams commands some of Devon's highest nightly rates. Harbour-view apartments in Salcombe, waterside cottages in Dartmouth, and rural retreats around Kingsbridge all compete for discerning guests. I photograph the sea views, private terraces, and luxury interiors that justify premium pricing. The soft, warm light off the estuary creates beautiful conditions for both interior and exterior photography.

Dartmoor: Wilderness Retreats & Converted Farmhouses

Dartmoor's wild landscape attracts guests looking for peace, space and dramatic scenery. Properties here tend to be characterful, granite farmhouses, converted barns, and remote cottages with far-reaching moorland views. Photography emphasises the sense of escape, the open fires, the exposed stone, and the surrounding landscape that makes Dartmoor holidays so appealing.

Exmoor & North Devon Villages

Where Devon meets Somerset, Exmoor's rolling hills and wooded valleys offer a quieter alternative to the coast. Holiday lets in Lynton, Lynmouth, Dunster and the surrounding villages attract walkers and nature lovers. I capture the cosy interiors, cottage gardens, and dramatic coastal paths that make this area a year-round destination.

Exeter & East Devon City Lets

Exeter's growing short-term rental market serves business travellers, university visitors and tourists exploring the cathedral city. Properties range from modern city-centre apartments to period homes in St Leonard's and Heavitree. Photography here focuses on clean, bright interiors, proximity to amenities, and the lifestyle that Exeter offers. I also cover Topsham, Exmouth and the Exe Estuary.

South Devon Coast: Torquay, Paignton & Brixham

The English Riviera remains one of Devon's most popular holiday destinations. From harbourside apartments in Brixham to hillside villas overlooking Torbay, these properties benefit from photography that captures the Mediterranean feel, the palm trees, the sea views, and the vibrant harbour scenes that draw visitors back year after year.

I also cover Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Tiverton, Honiton, Okehampton, Tavistock, and all surrounding villages and towns. See my Devon coverage page for the full list, or virtual tours in Exeter and Devon.

Boost Your Listing

Add-Ons for Devon Holiday Let Hosts

Photography is the foundation, but these extras can take your listing to the next level. All available as add-ons to any package.

Matterport 3D Virtual Tour

From £150

Let guests explore your Devon property room by room before booking. Particularly effective for larger coastal homes and properties where layout isn't obvious from photos alone.

Property Video Walkthrough

From £150

A smooth walkthrough video showcasing the property and its Devon setting. Perfect for social media marketing and direct booking websites where video drives engagement.

Floor Plans

From £75

Professional floor plans help guests understand the layout, especially useful for multi-level coastal properties, barn conversions, and properties with annexes or separate sleeping areas.

Twilight Photography

From £95

Capture your property at dusk with warm interior lights glowing against a Devon sunset. Coastal properties with west-facing views are particularly stunning at twilight.

Before Your Shoot

Preparation Checklist for Devon Hosts

Getting your property photo-ready makes a real difference to the final images. Here's what I recommend before every shoot, with a few Devon-specific tips.

  1. 1Declutter surfaces, remove personal items and excess toiletries
  2. 2Make beds with fresh, crisp linen (white or neutral works best)
  3. 3Open all curtains and blinds to maximise natural light and sea views
  4. 4Turn on all lights, including lamps and under-cabinet lighting
  5. 5Add fresh flowers, a local welcome hamper or a Devon cream tea set
  6. 6Clean windows inside and out (coastal salt spray shows in photos)
  7. 7Tidy the garden, patio, decking or hot tub area, move bins out of sight
  8. 8Set the dining table or outdoor eating area with clean place settings
  9. 9Light the wood burner or fire pit (if applicable and safe)
  10. 10Remove cars from the driveway for exterior shots

Devon-Specific Tips

Coastal properties need extra attention to windows, as salt spray builds up quickly and shows in photographs. If you have a hot tub, ensure the cover is off and the water is clean. Outdoor furniture should be arranged as guests would use it, with cushions out and perhaps a glass of wine or a book on the table. For properties with sea views, I'll time the shoot to capture the view at its best.

Not sure where to start? I send a detailed preparation checklist when you book, tailored to your property type and location.

Pricing

Devon Holiday Let Photography Packages

All packages include professional HDR photography, drone aerials where appropriate, full editing and 48-hour delivery*. No hidden costs. No travel charge within Devon.

If your photography is how guests find you and decide, look at . If you need a clear, accurate set of images for a listing, the standard packages are the right fit.

Starting prices

Airbnb and holiday let photography goes beyond wide-angle room shots. It's a mix of wide-angle and curated editorial-style images, lifestyle details, styled vignettes, and guest-perspective angles that sell an experience, not just a space.

80% of my work is holiday rental photography. You're booking a specialist who's shot hundreds of listings and written the book on what makes them perform.

Photography that pays for itself

On a typical holiday let at £120 to £180 a night, a small number of additional bookings can cover the shoot. Airbnb reports 19% more bookings on average for listings using its professional photography programme, although results vary by listing, and the images keep working for years afterwards.

Every package delivers a library rather than a single listing set, so you can refresh your photos through the seasons, feed direct booking sites and social, and keep your listing looking current.

Volume rates and monthly retainers available for agents and portfolio landlords. Get in touch for a rate card.

*For standard packages. Larger shoots or multi-property commissions may require additional editing time — I'll always confirm your delivery date at booking.
