Marketing a high-end rental where prospects book sight-unseen
Unit S904 sits on the 9th floor of the south tower at Auberge Beach Residences & Spa, one of Fort Lauderdale's most architecturally significant oceanfront developments, designed by Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates. Three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and 3,200 square feet of finishes that need to read on screen as confidently as they do in person.
At a $37,000-per-month asking rate, prospective tenants are almost always relocating, evaluating from another city, and making the decision through a screen. The listing isn't a starting point for a showing. For most of these clients, the photography and aerial coverage are the showing.
The brief was deliberately broad: a complete visual library that could carry the listing across MLS, luxury rental platforms, the brokerage's website, social distribution, print collateral, and a property-specific microsite, all delivered inside a single tight production window.
Three lighting environments, one residence, five-day turnaround
Every interior in S904 is built around the ocean. Floor-to-ceiling glass on the east elevation, wraparound terraces, and a south-facing primary suite mean the same room photographs as four different spaces depending on the hour. We had to map the unit to the sun rather than the floor plan.
Aerial coverage of an Auberge tower at 9 stories carries its own constraints: coordinating drone windows around resort airspace, shoreline beach traffic, and the building's own security and concierge schedule. Twenty finished aerials had to land both the architecture of the tower and the position of S904 inside it.
Underneath the lighting and aerial work was a non-negotiable timeline: 113 finished, color-graded, retouched deliverables in five business days so the listing could go live before the next leasing window closed.
Every room tells a story
The tower, the shoreline, the views from S904
How we approached the shoot
Pre-Shoot Light Mapping & Aerial Plan
Walked the residence with the listing agent the day before production to map sun angles room-by-room: sunrise on the east terrace, mid-morning glass for the great room, late afternoon for the primary suite. Built a parallel aerial plan to capture the south tower at the same magic-hour windows the interiors needed, sequencing ground and drone work into a single production day.
Two-Operator Production Day
Interior team worked the unit with multi-strobe ambient blends to hold both the curated finishes and the ocean horizon through the glass. A second operator ran the drone in coordinated windows, capturing the building elevation, S904's position in the south tower, the resort amenity deck, the beach, and contextual shots of the Fort Lauderdale shoreline.
Five-Day Post & Delivery
93 property images and 20 aerials moved through color, sky, and finish-detail retouching on a compressed five-day cycle, with each image cut for MLS, luxury rental platforms, the brokerage website, social, and print collateral. Delivered as a structured library so the listing team could pull assets per-channel without re-cropping.
A complete visual portrait
For a rental at this price point, the images are not supporting material. They are the listing.
List your luxury rental like the photography is the listing
If your asking rate is high enough that prospective tenants are deciding from another city, your imagery has to do the showing. Let's plan a complete visual production (interiors, aerials, and a property-specific asset library) built around your next leasing window.
