Stepping into the Hotel Bentley in Alexandria feels like walking directly into a chapter of Louisiana’s grand history. 🏛️✨

While filming in Rapides Parish for the LA64 series, this iconic landmark served as our home base. Known as the "Waldorf of the Red River," the Bentley’s storied halls and marble columns provided a sophisticated backdrop while we documented the region for LPB. It’s the kind of place where the architecture tells as much of a story as the people we meet on the road. 🎥📜

There is a distinct energy that comes with being right on the edge of the Gulf in St. Mary Parish. 🌊🦀

While filming along the coast, we called Cypremort Point State Park our home base. Staying in the waterfront cabins overlooking Vermilion Bay offered a front-row seat to the coastal landscapes we were capturing for the LA64 series on LPB. It’s one of those rare spots where the salt air and the marsh meet, providing the perfect authentic environment to recharge between production days. 🎥🌅
