Not many hotels have an in-house photographer with Hal Boucher's resume. A fixture at Santa Barbara's Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore since 1950, Hal's seen — and snapped — it all. Rock Hudson's secret wedding to his agent's secretary in Cottage 5? Hal was the man behind the lens. John and Jacqueline Kennedy on their honeymoon? Hal got a shot of that, too!
Many of these classic photos adorn the hallways of the Resort's newly restored Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club, making it feel like a private celebrity-studded estate. But did you know guests can get the same old-Hollywood star treatment from Hal that Lana Turner and Bing Crosby once did?
Extended-stay guests and return visitors to The Biltmore can have their family portrait taken by Hal, who at 82 is as elegant and timeless as the Resort itself. This exclusive work of art will then be inscribed with the family's name, framed and delivered to their room.
