VHT Studios shut down August 31, 2025

The Best VHT Studios Alternative in South Florida

What Happened to VHT Studios?

VHT Studios — formerly one of the largest real estate photography companies in the United States — permanently ceased operations on August 31, 2025. The company notified customers that all media and content would need to be downloaded before systems went offline. VHT's technology, photographer network, and support infrastructure shut down completely.

South Florida agents who had used VHT through their brokerage programs (Coldwell Banker, RE/MAX, Keller Williams, and others) suddenly found themselves without their go-to photography vendor mid-market season.

Estate Shutter Florida has directly on-boarded hundreds of former VHT customers across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Our workflow is designed to feel familiar — online booking, transparent pricing, and gallery delivery in 24 hours.

Why a Local Photographer Beats a National Network in South Florida

South Florida Light Expertise

Our photographer, Mike Brun, has shot 2,000+ listings specifically in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. He knows when to shoot east-facing rooms (morning), how to handle Intracoastal glare, and how to capture the blue-hour timing for waterfront twilight shoots.

Same Photographer Every Time

National networks dispatch whoever is available. With Estate Shutter, you work with Mike directly — consistent results, consistent style, and a photographer who knows your preferences after the first shoot.

FAA Part 107 Certified On-Staff

FAA authorization near MIA, FLL, and PBI airports is handled before every shoot — not outsourced to a third-party drone pilot who may or may not show up. Mike is Part 107 certified and manages all airspace coordination in-house.

Matterport Pro3 (Not Ricoh Theta)

Estate Shutter uses the Matterport Pro3 3D capture system — the professional-grade camera, not the budget Ricoh Theta 360 camera that many large networks use to cut costs. Your 3D tour is higher resolution with better measurement accuracy.

No Hidden Fees

VHT charged zone-based travel fees that could significantly increase costs for properties outside metro cores. Estate Shutter charges one flat price per service with no surprise travel fees across all of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.

Pay After Approval

You only pay after reviewing and approving your gallery. No pre-payment, no billing disputes. If you're not satisfied, we reshoot — it's in our guarantee.

What Former VHT Customers Say

"I used VHT for 4 years through my brokerage. When they shut down I was nervous about finding a replacement mid-season. Estate Shutter matched their quality and the local knowledge Mike brings is something VHT never had."

Sandra M.
RE/MAX Agent, Brickell

"Switched from VHT to Estate Shutter after the shutdown. The 24-hour guarantee is the same but the images are noticeably sharper — and I'm paying less per shoot than I was on the brokerage VHT plan."

Carlos R.
Compass Agent, Coral Gables

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my existing VHT listing media to Estate Shutter?

We don't have access to VHT's archived media — VHT systems went fully offline August 31, 2025. If you downloaded your galleries before that date, those files are yours to keep. For any listings that need new photography, book with us and we'll have your gallery ready within 24 hours.

Do you work with the same brokerages VHT served (Coldwell Banker, RE/MAX, Keller Williams)?

Yes. We work with agents from all major South Florida brokerages including Coldwell Banker, RE/MAX, Keller Williams, Compass, Douglas Elliman, EWM Realty, and One Sotheby's International. We offer volume pricing for teams booking 3+ shoots per month.

How does your pricing compare to what agents paid through VHT?

VHT's publicly listed pricing ranged from $119 to $829 depending on zip code, plus zone-based travel fees. Our standard photography packages start at $199 with no travel fees across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. New clients receive 10% off their first booking.

Do you offer the same property website VHT provided?

We provide a private online gallery with shareable link for each shoot — agents commonly share this link directly with the MLS upload system or embed it in marketing materials. Single-property websites can be added as an optional service.
