This architectural restaurant photography was the new Chuy's restaurant opened in Fayetteville on Feb 28. The interior is very colorful with decor everywhere including metal palm trees in true Mexican/ Chuy's flare. I have no doubt Chuy's will be packed just like the one in Rogers is. I was at a meeting at the Chuy's in Rogers and the general manager mentioned that the Fayetteville location was able to take some of the load off of them thus increasing their bottom line for both.
The timing on photographing a restaurant can be a challenge. After a restaurant is open, they work 7 days a week with very few hours without customers. Before it opens they are in training in one shape or form from sunrise to after dark every day for 1-2 weeks. The day scheduled for these photos was extremly overcast if not stormy weather. I could still get all the interiors I needed just fine. The exteriors were not affected that much since the accent and signage lights were emphasized even more. After replacing the sky (which I do for many photos to help compliment the image while not distracting from the building), the twilight photos looked great and the client was very happy. Unfortunately, I was not happy with the daytime lighting for the exterior, but since this restaurant was only a few miles away and for a great client, I came back the next morning and got the photos I really liked since the sun was out.
My great client, Boen Kemp Construction asked me to photograph this restaurant. Boen Kemp started off small in 2017 and was formed out of Commercial Realty. I photographed a few projects for Commercial Realty and when Eric Boen and Jeff Kemp started their construction business in 2017, I continued to photograph their projects. Fast forward to 2023 and they have a fairly large staff with projects all over in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas. I've photographed all the projects on their website from Little Rock, Witchita Kansas, Columbia Misouri, Branson Missouri and, of course NW Arkansas.
