Prepared for Four Points by Sheraton Cocoa Beach
Marriott Hotel Website Photography Performance System for Competitive Markets
A complete Marriott-approved hotel photography and gallery launch system that carries the project from strategic gallery planning and low-disruption production through metadata, photographer-side MDAC upload, and guided support for the property-side upload and submission process—built to reduce the burden on your team, strengthen guest confidence, and help your hotel compete more effectively for bookings.
The Opportunity
Bring the Cocoa Beach experience into view
Four Points by Sheraton Cocoa Beach has a story that extends well beyond its guest rooms. The surf and retail experience, restaurant, Starbucks, fish tank, and pool setting give guests distinctive reasons to choose the property. The photography should make those experiences easy to discover while clearly showing the rooms and amenities that help guests plan their stay.
This engagement brings those elements together in a cohesive image collection, including food and beverage photography to support the dining experience. From planning through Marriott gallery launch, the process is designed to give the property a stronger online presentation and a clear path to putting the finished photography into use.
How the System Works
From gallery planning through launch
The engagement is structured as one connected process. Every stage is planned to move the property from identifying its visual needs to placing the finished photography into active use.

Full production day
Photograph guest rooms and public spaces, coordinating access to restaurant, retail, and pool areas around the hotel’s daily operations.
Full production day
Complete the remaining agreed coverage. Food and beverage photography and exterior lighting opportunities will be coordinated across the production window.

System Investment

One unified investment for the agreed hotel and food and beverage photography, gallery preparation, and launch support.
Covers car rental, meals, and travel time for the drive to Cocoa Beach. The hotel will provide a complimentary room on property for the required stay. Accommodation is excluded from this allowance.
Next Steps
Put the project in motion
Once preferred production dates have been selected and the proposal has been confirmed, Morgan Nowland Photography will provide the deposit request and coordinate the pre-production call with the property team.
Project Terms
Clear terms for a well-managed production
Scheduling
Production dates are reserved once the proposal is confirmed and the project deposit is received. Scheduling remains subject to property readiness and Morgan Nowland Photography’s current availability.
Post-production and delivery
Typical post-production turnaround is approximately two weeks, with larger productions requiring additional time. Once editing is complete, the property will receive a contact sheet and final invoice. Final licensed files and included launch support are released after the remaining balance and travel have been paid.
Property preparation and access
The hotel will provide access to prepared rooms and amenities and coordinate the selected food and beverage subjects with its culinary team. The final sequence will be planned around property operations and available light.
Exterior and aerial coverage
Exterior photography is weather dependent. Planned drone coverage is also subject to permissions, airspace, safety, and operational feasibility. Any return visit outside the agreed production window would be arranged separately.
Scope adjustments
This proposal is based on the rooms, amenities, and production requirements outlined above. Material additions or changes may require an updated investment or schedule. The included food and beverage session will feature a coordinated selection of property-prepared dishes and drinks.
Property-side launch support
Morgan Nowland Photography will complete the photographer-side MDAC upload and guide the property-side upload and submission process. The property retains responsibility for its account access and platform-side changes.
Rescheduling and cancellation
The project deposit may be transferred to one rescheduled production date, subject to availability. Client cancellations are subject to the cancellation schedule provided with the agreement and any nonrefundable travel expenses already incurred.
Image licensing
Upon final payment, the included commercial license covers the photographed property, its ownership or management company, the applicable hotel brand, and authorized marketing teams. Architects, designers, contractors, vendors, and other third parties require separate licensing.
