From hotel marketing to Melbourne accommodation & real estate photography.

I'm Aidan Hopkins, the photographer behind CheckedIn Photography. Before picking up a camera professionally, I spent 3+ years working in hotel marketing — briefing photographers, choosing images for booking pages and ad campaigns, and seeing first-hand which shots actually moved the needle on conversion and which ones just looked nice.

That's the difference I bring now: Melbourne hotel, Airbnb, Booking.com, and real estate photography — interior and exterior shots, plus digital ad and social media content, shot knowing exactly how it'll be used, whether it's a booking page or a listing. I keep things lean, so quality photography doesn't come with an agency price tag. Every package comes with full usage rights, and I can arrange talent for shoots that need people in the frame.

Over that time, I've worked with some of Melbourne's top real estate agencies, along with hotel brands across Victoria — experience that shapes how I approach every shoot, whether it's a listing, a room refresh, or a full property.
