The difference the right perspective makes.

Unsure about aerial shots? Take a look at the exact same property from two different vantage points. Drag the slider to see why the angle matters.

Here’s what you can see from above:

  • The backyard: See the private pool and patio that are completely blocked from the street view.
  • The tree coverage: The trees make the property more tucked away and private.
  • The true footprint: You can see the shape of the lot, how the driveway fits in, and get a sense of the property lines.
  • The whole picture: See it all: the landscaping, driveway, roof, pool, backyard, trees, all at once. You don't have to scroll through ten pictures to see everything.

How We Work

We believe in keeping things simple and transparent, from our very first conversation to the moment you download the finished files.

01

The Game Plan

Before we ever launch a drone, we study your location's map, check the airspace, and figure out the best time of day for natural light. We’ll build and agree on a list of everything you want to be captured, so you know exactly what you’ll get in the final edit.

02

The Shoot

We capture all the relevant aerial passes, then move in to grab the ground and interior shots needed to fill in the details the drone can't see.

03

The Polish & Delivery

We don't just hand over raw files. We edit the photos and video for exactly where they need to go so you can plug and play.

What you can expect from us

  • A clear shot list, agreed upon before we even start.
  • Beautifully edited stills and video, ready to post.
  • Usage rights for the final media listed in your quote.
  • A delivery date agreed before the shoot.
  • Peace of mind: we are fully FAA Part 107 licensed and carry liability insurance on every single shoot.

What you won’t get

  • A messy folder of raw, unedited clips dumped in your lap.
  • Surprise hourly fees. We quote flat, predictable rates per project.
  • Disconnected shots without context that don't tell a story.
  • Complicated agency retainers just to get a single day of shooting done.

Before we plan your shoot

A few practical answers to help you get started.

What should I include in a quote request?

Tell us the location, the date or window you have in mind, and where the media will be used. For a listing, include the home's square footage. If you are unsure which package fits, describe the project and we will help you choose the scope.

Do you cover my location?

We are based in Marietta and serve Metro Atlanta. Send your address so we can confirm access, airspace, and the scope for that location before you book.

What happens if the drone cannot fly?

Aerial coverage depends on weather, airspace, and site access. We check the location before flying and discuss the next step with you if conditions prevent the planned coverage.

How do I book a shoot?

Start with a quote request. We confirm the coverage, price, timing, and site access with you. Your written quote sets out the scope and booking steps before the shoot is scheduled.

How do we plan the shoot?

We agree on the shot list, access, and the people or spaces to capture before the shoot. Tell us about any event timings, on camera segments, or site requirements so they can be included in the plan.

When will I receive the files, and how do revisions work?

Your written quote sets the deliverables, delivery date, and review process. We edit the agreed photos and films for the channels you need. Tell us your deadline when you inquire so we can confirm a workable plan.

What media can I use?

Your quote identifies the final files and usage rights included in the project. Raw footage or additional versions need to be included in the agreed scope.
