Williams Sonoma Home has embraced Holidays in full force with their new Holiday catalog for 2015. Working once again with the wonderful Photographer Paul Raeside Studio Marcus Hay, Inc spent a number of weeks this year in San Francisco shooting for both Williams Sonoma Home and Cooks, stay tuned for more posts!

Williams Sonoma Home this year has embraced animal print, faux fur and plaid mixed in with lots of red, green and metallics, particularly gold as an accent. The feeling is very luxe and majestic. 

Traveling to Sonoma we spent much of the shoot in a magnificent house on the hill that became the backdrop for many of these photo's.

Thanks to my fantastic Assistants Andrea Greco and Tessa Watson for all the present wrapping and trimming, It took a good part of the day just to dress the tree that stood at a whopping 9 feet tall.

Hope you enjoy the festive spirit and it gets you in the mood for the season.

The second drop of the Williams Sonoma Home Catalog has reached its customers and Studio Marcus Hay Inc was proud to be included in the second cover, having Art Directed this in Los Angeles earlier this year. Taking a different cap, Studio Marcus Hay Inc styled the other pages, working with Art Director John Costello and for the first time Paul Raeside which was a great pleasure with some new additional pages to the second drop. 

We created these sets in the Williams Sonoma studio at Brisbane, the spreads included lighting, pillows, barstools and chairs and a desk shot and an art shot.

For the Fall Williams Sonoma Home Catalog Studio Marcus Hay was asked to Art Direct the team on a Beach Chic themed shoot. Working with the very talented Photographer Eric Piaseki and equally clever Prop Stylist HelenCrowther. This is the first time SMH was on board for WS Home and it was such a great experience.

What many may not be aware is that a shoot this scale takes weeks of planning,  flying back and forth from New York to San Francisco at last 3 times for meetings, scouting location and then again for the shoot itself. 

Finding exactly the right location is very important, With the intention of firstly shooting it somewhere on the West Coast of the US we honed in on a place just out of San Francisco.


With a color theme of chocolate brown and blue we came up with a scheme that felt upscale and on brand with William Sonoma’s aesthetic. Shooting partly in the studio and partly on location, We completed 5 days of shooting, we hope you like the results.
