Hopkins Custom Pools Geometric Pool & Sunken Fire Pit | Troup, TX
First Choice Media documented this Hopkins Custom Pools project in Troup, Texas, combining a geometric swimming pool and raised spa with one of the backyard's most distinctive features: a sunken fire pit and seating area positioned directly within the pool layout. The project uses strong architectural lines, contrasting light and dark finishes, integrated turf accents, a tanning ledge with in-pool loungers, landscape planters, and a dramatic raised spa. Ground-level photography highlights the materials and individual features, while aerial drone imagery reveals the symmetry and scale of the complete outdoor space.

First Choice Media photographed this Hopkins Custom Pools project in Troup, Texas, documenting a modern geometric pool and spa surrounded by an expansive outdoor living environment on a large East Texas property. The pool uses a predominantly rectangular design with a dark interior that creates deep blue water and strong contrast against the light-colored deck and coping. Narrow strips of artificial turf are incorporated between sections of the hardscape, emphasizing the geometric lines that continue throughout the entire backyard. A raised square spa anchors one end of the pool. Its exterior is finished in large-format, dark gray stone-look material, creating a dramatic architectural element against the lighter surrounding surfaces. Nearby, a shallow tanning ledge provides space for in-pool loungers and connects visually with the spa. The centerpiece of the project is the sunken fire pit lounge integrated directly into the pool environment. The recessed space is surrounded by water on multiple sides and includes built-in seating with dark cushions, a rectangular fire feature, broad entry stairs, integrated step lighting, and raised planters flanking the entrance. The result creates a dedicated conversation area that feels visually connected to the pool while remaining its own distinct outdoor room. Aerial photography was particularly effective for this project. From above, the precise relationship between the pool, spa, tanning ledge, sunken lounge, surrounding deck, landscaping, and covered structure becomes immediately apparent. These perspectives also help communicate the scale of the property and the highly structured design of the outdoor environment. First Choice Media used a combination of architectural photography, feature photography, twilight imagery, and aerial drone photography to create a portfolio that documents both the overall project and the details that give it its character.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our photography, videography, marketing, and web development services.
Why is drone photography valuable for complex pool projects?
Drone photography makes it easier to understand how individual features relate to one another. On a project like this, an elevated perspective clearly shows the relationship between the swimming pool, raised spa, tanning ledge, sunken fire lounge, decking, landscaping, and surrounding structures in a way that is difficult to communicate from ground level.
Does First Choice Media photograph pool projects in East Texas?
Yes. First Choice Media travels throughout North and East Texas to provide professional photography, videography, and drone content for pool builders, outdoor living companies, contractors, and other businesses.
Why photograph a pool project at different times of day?
Different lighting conditions reveal different aspects of a finished project. Daytime photography emphasizes materials, layout, water color, and architecture, while late-day and twilight photography can showcase fire features, landscape lighting, pool lights, illuminated steps, and the atmosphere of the outdoor living space.
