What Happens Next

Here's what to expect after you reach out.

1

We Review Your Inquiry

Within 48 hours of receiving your message, we review your property details and goals. If we need any clarification before our call, we will follow up by email.

2

Discovery Call — 15 to 20 minutes

We schedule a brief call to learn more about your property, your visual goals, your timeline, and your budget. This helps us point you to the right collection or build something custom. No pressure, no sales pitch.

3

Custom Proposal

Within 5 business days of your discovery call, we send a detailed proposal: the collection or custom package we recommend, a clear breakdown of deliverables, timeline, and investment.

4

Contract & 50% Deposit

Once you are ready to proceed, we send a simple contract outlining deliverables, usage rights, and timeline. A 50% deposit secures your shoot date. The remaining 50% is due upon final delivery.

5

Creative Direction & Shoot

Before your shoot, we develop a shot list and visual brief tailored to your property. On the day, we arrive early, work seamlessly with your team, and capture every element in the plan.

6

Delivery — Campaign-Ready

Your final edited content arrives in a private Coastal Travel Company gallery within 7–14 business days — organized by category, sized for every platform, and ready to deploy immediately. One round of revision feedback included.

We keep the process simple and transparent at every step. You will always know what is happening, what is coming next, and exactly what you will receive. Questions before you submit? Email us directly — we are happy to chat before you fill out the form.

Common Questions

Everything you might want to know.

If your question isn't here, email us directly — we're happy to talk.
Do we need to provide talent or models for the shoot?

Not necessarily. Hotel staff, employees, or even guests (with their permission) work beautifully in lifestyle shots. We can source local talent if needed — just mention it in your inquiry and we will include talent sourcing in the proposal if applicable.

We already have some photography. Can you add to our existing library?

Absolutely. Many clients have existing assets and just need specific gaps filled — lifestyle moments, updated video, or seasonal refreshes. Tell us what you already have and what you need in the inquiry form and we will tailor a proposal accordingly.

What if we are not in Palm Beach or South Florida?

We travel. Flights, accommodation, and transportation are quoted separately and added to any collection. For properties offering complimentary accommodation during the shoot, we factor that into the overall investment. We work across the U.S., the Caribbean, and internationally.

What usage rights do we get with our content?

All collections include full commercial usage rights for social media, your website, and OTA listing platforms such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Expedia for an unlimited period. Paid advertising and print use are available as add-ons or included outright in The Signature Story. Everything is clearly outlined in your contract before any payment is made.

How far in advance should we book?

2 to 4 weeks for The Fashioned Weekend, and 4 to 8 weeks for The Editorial Stay and Signature Story. For peak travel season shoots — winter holidays, spring break, summer — reach out as early as possible. Dates fill quickly.

Can we use the content for paid advertising?

Yes. Paid advertising rights can be added to any collection, or are included in The Signature Story. If you plan to run paid social or display campaigns, mention it in your inquiry so we can build the right rights in from the start.

What if we are a small Airbnb and not a full hotel?

We love working with vacation rental hosts. Our Listing Upgrade starts at $400 and is built specifically for short-term rental properties. See the Airbnb & Vacation Rental section on the Collections page for full details.

What happens if we need to reschedule or cancel?

Rescheduling requests made more than 14 days before your shoot date are accommodated at no charge, subject to availability. Cancellations within 14 days forfeit the 50% deposit. All details are outlined in your contract before you sign.

Do you offer retainer or ongoing content packages?

Yes. For properties that need fresh content on a recurring basis, we offer seasonal retainer arrangements — typically 3 to 4 shoots per year at a bundled rate. This locks in your dates, reduces the per-shoot investment, and keeps your visual library current year-round. Ask about retainer pricing in your inquiry.
