Mette Tonnessen

I create photography and video that capture how a hotel feels: its atmosphere, its design, and the experience of being there, so the right guests recognize it before they've ever arrived.

Working with Mette has been an absolute delight! The results speak for themselves, showcasing her exceptional talent and dedication. We´ve enjoyed the collaboration and anticipate the chance to work together on more projects in the future.

The Amauris | Laura Hütwohl, Marketing Manager
Mette has the rare capability of seeing right through a project’s soul and translating it into beautiful imagery. Aside from being a very talented, professional photographer, she’s also really nice to work with – a combination that makes all the difference and makes her the perfect choice for telling your story and setting it apart through pictures.

Valverde Hotel | Maria João Nogueira Mendes
Mette was an absolute pleasure to work with - her friendly and uncomplicated approach made our collaboration effortless. She skillfully captured the hotel's atmosphere and design, delivering beautiful pictures that exceeded our expectations.

Hotel Indigo Vienna Naschmarkt | Katrin Atzlinger
It has been an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Mette this summer and we would love to welcome her back in Monte-Carlo. It was extremely pleasing to feel how “customer-focused” she was, eager to show the hotel in its best light. Mette is extremely professional but also very kind and generous. We have been blown away by the content she created, and we are fully satisfied with the views she chose to represent our resort as well as the soft colours of her artistic world.

Le Meridien Beach Plaza | Helene Bennert
Mette took photos of our hotel, a medieval tower dating back to the 12th century. It was very difficult to represent the uniqueness of the structure, due to the complexity and the many aspects to be taken into consideration. The photographs of Mette are real works of art that express every characteristic, from the views to the bar service, to the room and to the breakfast, with particular attention to the panorama that can be enjoyed from our terraces.

Antica Torre Tornabuoni | Maria Rita Bellini
Mette was a dream to work with and her images and approach to photography far exceeded our expectations. We loved seeing our hotel through her eyes and the photos and video she delivered were beautifully done, capturing everything from tiny details to beautiful big-picture scenes. We're excited to have gorgeous content we'll get to work with for a while to come!

Borgo San Vincenzo | Shannon Kircher
We would highly recommend working with Mette. She is a very professional photographer with a great eye for detail. Mette is really good at adapting her content to the client's preferences and wishes.

Ketil Løberg | Hotel Continental
Mette was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional from start to finish and we are thrilled with the beautiful and detailed images she captured in and around our property. Honestly, I did not give her much direction from the beginning and she over-delivered.

Sara Beth Judson - The Wort Hotel
Mette is wonderful to work with! Along with her creative eye, she has a keen attention to detail, making her able to deliver both high-quality architectural and lifestyle photography. A rare skillset in the photography world!

Krista Pass | The Maven Hotel
Mette var en drøm å jobbe med. Fleksibel, interessert, profesjonell og effektiv. Hun tar nydelige bilder som virkelig fanget essensen av hvordan Lysebu hotell skal og vil fremstå. Tusen takk for samarbeidet.

Christian Hiis Navestad | Lysebu
We loved working with Mette. She was a total professional and provided us with beautiful, unique content that helped us attract additional followers on our social media platforms. We hope to work with her again in the future!

Michelle Rotter | June Ruby
I have worked with many photographers over the years and, without a doubt, Mette is one of the best. She possesses all the most desirable qualities I look for in a collaborative partner - accommodating, professional, friendly, willing to take direction, and - most importantly - she delivers beautiful content in a timely manner. I would be delighted to partner again with Mette in the future and will recommend her to all my colleagues.

Derek Kokinda | The Ritz-Carlton Denver
Vi vil varmt anbefale Mette videre til alle! Hun har alle de egenskapene vi på Sundvolden ser etter i en samarbeidspartner – profesjonell, vennlig, kreativ og hun levere et fantastisk produkt til avtalt tid. Vi syns alltid det er spennende å se hvordan fotografer ser hotellet vårt, og Mette så på det på akkurat den måten vi vil presentere oss. Noe som krever ferdigheter og en evne til å sette seg inn i historien til hotellet. Vi håper på å kunne ha flere samarbeid med henne i fremtiden!
