Butler's Grooming Club for Men - Google Business Photos by nikonic1976@yahoo.com

Last week I was able to create a Google Business Photos virtual tour of Butler's Grooming Club for men. Located inside Saks Fifth Ave at the Summit in Birmingham, Butler's is like no place I've ever seen before. It's an amazingly upscale men's salon (not really sure if that's the best word choice but I'm going with it). Honestly, this is the kind of place that I would expect in Los Angeles, or New York, but in Birmingham? No, I would not expect that. To say that the place is impressive would be quite the understatement. First, there's the aesthetics. From the flooring, to the wall art, to the lighting, and materials, this place has been well thought out and put together. Just being there you get a sensation of richness. Then there are the services. Not only first rate haircuts, but also massage, full barber services (shaving, trimming, etc), private VIP suite, manicure, pedicure, and waxing. The people are all very professional, and very talented. With two master barbers on staff plus stylists, Butler's has an impressive array of talent. Lastly there is the club experience. There's a pool table, coffee bar, beer, and TV's. This is the perfect place for grooms and groomsmen to get ready before the wedding. It's the perfect place to slow down and appreciate some of the finer things in life and not just get a hair cut. It's a place to meet and engage with other professionals.

So, I'm very proud to show you the completed virtual tour and commercial still images that I created for Butler's as part of the Google Business Photos program. Be sure to check out their website, and if you are a man in need of some grooming, you will find no better experience than Butler's!

Primeaux Cheese & Vino - Birmingham Google Business Photographers by nikonic1976@yahoo.com

Last month I got the opportunity to create a Google Business Photos virtual tour for Primeaux Cheese & Vino (pronounced Pre-mo but Mason, the owner, is from New Orleans so he put one his own personal twist). If you weren't familiar with them don't beat yourself up, they are brand new after all. But, now that you know, you must now put them on your list of places to check out. That is, unless you don't like either cheese not vino. But wait! Even if by some chance you are one of those few people in the world who dislike both, they still have you covered. They also make amazing artisan sandwiches. Kelly and I both give them 2 napkins up in that department! To be perfectly honest I'd never even heard of a Cheese and Vino place. I know that might make me sound uncultured but it's true. This is the first such place I've ever been to. I'm very impressed with the ambiance, the food, and everyone that works there is amazingly knowledgeable and personable, a rare trait to find these days! Check out the virtual tour and conventional commercial still images below. You can always check out Primeaux's website and Google + Local pages.

Joe's Italian Restaurant- Alabaster, Alabama - Google Business Photos by nikonic1976@yahoo.com

A couple of month's ago Joe's Italian Restaurant in Alabaster became the first restaurant I created a Google Business Photos virtual tour for. The food there (especially the deserts) is beyond excellent. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. But my favorite thing about Joe's is the family. Sonia, her sister, and her mother carry on Joe's tradition and values, honoring his memory. There's a lot of pride in this family and it really shows through every aspect of their business. It was my pleasure to help Joe's stand out from the crowd with a Goggle Business Photos virtual tour. Check out the conventional still images and tour below. If you're ever in the Alabaster area you simply must put Joe's Italian on your list! [gallery type="circle" ids="1763,1753,1754,1755,1756,1757,1758,1759,1760,1761,1762"]

VisionFirst Eye Center - Trussville Alabama - Google Business Photos by Tommy Daspit Photographer by nikonic1976@yahoo.com

Over the past few weeks I've been creating Google Business Photos 360 virtual tours of the VisionFirst Eye Centers in the Birmingham, Alabama area. The first one is the Trussville location. The building it's self is fantastic looking. Because of weather I did have to go back when the sky wasn't so gray. I think you will agree that it was worth the effort. I was very impressed by the staff at VisionFirst. Everyone was very professional and great to work with. I could tell by watching their patient interactions that they know what they're doing and really care for them. The amount of state of the art equipment was very impressive as well. There was training going on for the staff nearly every time I went in. I know that they will do an excellent job for you if you need eye care! Check out the virtual tour and sample still images below! [gallery type="circle" ids="1746,1740,1741,1742,1743,1744,1745,1747"]

Cozumel Grill Mexican Restaurant - Pelham Alabama - Tommy Daspit Google Business Photos by nikonic1976@yahoo.com

A few weeks a go I had the pleasure of creating a Google Business Photos virtual tour of Cozumel Mexican Restaurant in Pelham. I love the vibrant colors inside and out. I think it's really fitting for how colorful the people are who work there and the food. Cozumel's is one of the best kept secrets in the Birmingham area. The food is really excellent and the price is a great value. The real attraction though, is the service. Rosie and her team are like family and they treat you like a guest in their home. Kelly and I eat there quite often as it's by far our favorite Mexican restaurant! I'm proud to show it off and I look forward to many years of success for Cozumels!  To learn more about Cozumel Mexican Grill visit their Google + Local page. Click below to see the conventional commercial still images I created and then take the virtual tour below.
