Title: Engagement shoot with a Ferrari, Where can I go to the beach with a car in Miami
Post by: haring on February 12, 2011, 11:31:42 pm

I am going to have a fun engagement shoot with a very nice couple and a Ferrari.
In the Miami area, I would like to take them to the beach where we can get very close the the water. Do you know a place in the Miami area where I can take some fun photos of them, the car and the beach? It would be great if we could go onto the sand with the car...

Any fun ideas?

Also, please share you experience with us if you have ever done an engagement session with a car. It would be great if you would have a link to the photos...!

Any fun engagement shoot ideas with a car are welcome!

You're doing this backwards: first arrange for a tow-truck.

You cannot just take a car onto the beach at will.  You need to contact the City of Miami Beach Office of Film & Print to obtain a permit for a commercial shoot, and apply for a VBAP (Vehicle Beach Access Pass).  You'll need to provide a completed Indemnity form for the city, as well as provide a certificate of liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000.  In addition, you'll need to hire an off-duty police officer to escort the vehicle on and off the beach.

Thanks a lot!

Wow! Now I understand why we never see automobiles in any of your photos, Claire!
