The Mizner Name
Before we closely examine the photoshoot and everyone involved, let us provide some more insight into the “Mizner” name, as it is spread across Boca Raton in various ways…
For example, you have the Mizner Park and the Mizner Dream Boat…
Addison Mizner
The founder of Boca Raton was Addison Mizner. He was an architect with a vision was to build a resort city that was the “Venice of the Atlantic”.
Hence, the name Mizner Park and Mizner Dream.
Mizner Park

Mizner Park has a classical Mediterranean feel because that is where Cooper Carry (a design firm) took inspiration from when designing it. Moreover, that was the original vision of Addison Mizner.
Mizner Dream Boat
As for the Mizner Dream Boat, it is a Private Yacht Charter known as Boca’s “limousine on water”. The Mizner Dream, which has the same name as the magazine, provides numerous delights and sights as guests comfortably cruise South Florida’s famed Intracoastal Waterway…
So, now that you have some context on Boca Resort and Mizner Dream Magazine, let’s dive in to the main event of this post, the photoshoot.
