The Miami Beach EDITION is the modern-luxury counterpoint to the Art Deco strip: a 294-room Ian Schrager hotel on Collins Avenue with clean white interiors, two outdoor pools, direct beach access, and event spaces that scale from rehearsal dinners to a 928-seat Forum. This guide covers the published spaces, the spots that photograph best, and how to hire a Miami Beach photographer who knows the property.

|---|---|
| Location | 2901 Collins Avenue, Mid-Beach, Miami Beach, with direct beach access |

| On-site extras | Two outdoor pools, spa, beach service, and Basement (bowling and nightclub level) |
The Forum is the flagship room, seating up to 928 for conferences, galas and large receptions, with a prefunction space handling about 324 for arrivals and cocktail hours. The hotel's weddings pitch leans on smaller, light-filled indoor rooms and outdoor spaces with ocean views - the right fit for ceremonies and receptions in the 100 to 320 guest range rather than mega-ballroom productions. Marriott Certified Wedding Planners are part of the package, which changes how your photographer coordinates the timeline: expect a structured, hotel-run schedule.
The visual signature here is restraint: white-on-white interiors, palms, and clean lines that read as quiet luxury in photos. The standard route is a ceremony in an outdoor ocean-view space or on the sand, portraits at the pools and on the beach in the hour before sunset, and a reception in one of the modern ballrooms. The beach behind the hotel faces east, so sunrise ceremonies get the soft light; afternoon ceremonies should plan shaded family photos in the porte-cochere garden or lobby.
The Forum's 928-seat scale makes this a convention and product-launch venue. Photographing here means stage light, big screens and fast PR turnaround - hire accordingly. The prefunction space and the beach access give natural breakout and portrait options between sessions.
Basement, the hotel's lower level with a bowling alley and neon nightclub lighting, is the unusual-after-party frame no ballroom can match. It is also a controlled environment for editorial-style couple portraits after the reception.
The hotel quotes venue and catering per event and publishes no rate card. Your photographer is a separate line: Miami wedding photographers typically run $2,500 to $6,000 for full-day luxury-hotel coverage, with corporate event coverage commonly $1,500 to $4,000 depending on hours and deliverables.
