What It Is
Casa Elite serves independent luxury short-term rentals and micro-resorts across Southern California — Malibu, Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, Big Bear, and similar markets.
It brings production experience from high-end hospitality and lifestyle brands — Cipriani, Faena, Nautica — into a niche that rarely has access to that caliber of work. The positioning is deliberately narrow: a premium, selective partner, not a videographer for hire.
“Production honed on the world's top hospitality brands — now working for you.”
Meet the Founder
Nico Bracewell understands that luxury is felt before it is explained. The light across a room. The quiet of a private terrace. The details that make someone imagine themselves there.
With more than a decade on both sides of the camera and in brand building and marketing, he brings that sensibility to Casa Elite — giving exceptional properties a presence that lives up to the experience. His purpose is simple: make the right guests feel that they've found their next stay.
How It Runs
A recurring model built around a quarterly production cycle. The shoot funds the content; the retainer keeps it working every month in between.
A one- to two-night stay at the property, comped as part of the engagement — being on-site is the job, not a negotiated perk. Each quarter produces seasonal hero video, refreshed photography, and social-ready clips.
Social content calendar and posting, a direct-booking site built and maintained for you, and emails to past guests. Ad management is an add-on once you're ready, with your ad spend paid directly to the platform.
Guarantee
If you don't like the content, you don't pay for it.

How Delivery Works
Every property is tracked from first contact to delivery, so you always know where things stand.
Sent 24–48 hours ahead: property highlights, best light, seasonal changes, brand colors.
A standardized checklist: exterior at golden hour, hero rooms, detail shots, lifestyle walkthrough as needed.
A short consultation to walk through the edit, gather final adjustments, and confirm approval.
Edited package delivered through a shared Drive link within five to seven business days.
Our Turnaround Promise
Your edited package arrives within five to seven business days of the shoot, every time. In a small, relationship-driven market, our reputation depends on it more than on anything else.
