Commercial Drone Photography and Video

FAA Part 107 certified aerial services for businesses, properties, construction projects, tourism organizations, and commercial clients throughout the Olympic Peninsula.

Show the scale, setting, and value of your property, project, or destination through professionally crafted aerial imagery.

Cedar & Shore Studio provides commercial drone photography and video for businesses, property professionals, builders, tourism organizations, and other clients throughout the Olympic Peninsula and surrounding areas.

A Better View of the Bigger Picture

Ground-level photography shows individual details. Aerial imagery shows how everything connects.

Professional drone photography and video can reveal location, scale, access, surroundings, property boundaries, construction progress, and geographic context in ways traditional photography cannot. Each project is planned around the information your audience needs to see and the impression you need the finished visuals to create.

The result is not simply footage from the air. It is a purposeful visual asset designed to strengthen your marketing, documentation, presentation, or communication.

Aerial Services

Real Estate and Property Marketing

Present residential, commercial, vacation, and development properties with a clearer sense of scale and location. Aerial coverage can highlight acreage, water access, surrounding amenities, landscaping, outbuildings, views, and proximity to major destinations.

Drone photography and video can be booked independently or incorporated into a complete real estate media package.

Tourism and Hospitality

Show guests more than a room or building. Aerial imagery can communicate the complete experience surrounding a resort, campground, vacation rental, lodge, marina, restaurant, winery, or outdoor destination.

Coverage can include the property, surrounding landscape, nearby attractions, access routes, and the relationship between the business and its environment.

Construction and Development

Document progress, provide visual updates, and create a consistent record of development over time.

One-time and recurring coverage is available for contractors, builders, developers, architects, property owners, and project stakeholders. Images can be used for internal documentation, investor communication, public updates, proposals, and marketing.

Commercial Properties and Business Locations

Give customers, investors, tenants, and partners a more complete understanding of your location.

Aerial imagery is particularly effective for retail properties, industrial sites, medical facilities, campuses, dealerships, agricultural operations, marinas, and businesses with large or visually distinctive locations.

Events and Community Coverage

Add scale and context to festivals, outdoor events, community gatherings, races, markets, and other organized activities.

Drone operations are subject to location, airspace, crowd density, property permission, weather, and FAA operating requirements. Every event is evaluated before aerial coverage is confirmed.

Aerial Inspections and Documentation

Obtain high-resolution visual documentation of roofs, structures, land, access points, and other difficult-to-view areas without immediately placing a person in an elevated position.

These services provide visual information only and do not replace evaluations performed by licensed engineers, inspectors, surveyors, or other qualified professionals.

Photography, Video, and Project Documentation

Aerial Photography

High-resolution still images created for websites, advertising, listings, reports, presentations, social media, and printed materials.

Aerial Video

Smooth aerial footage designed for commercial videos, property presentations, tourism campaigns, social content, advertisements, and brand storytelling.

Vertical Social Media Content

Aerial footage composed and edited specifically for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and other vertical platforms.

Recurring Progress Coverage

Scheduled aerial photography or video captured from consistent positions to document construction, development, landscaping, seasonal changes, or long-term projects.

Integrated Ground and Aerial Production

Combine drone coverage with professional ground-level photography, video, interviews, and brand storytelling through one coordinated production.

Aerial Imagery Built Around the Objective

Drone equipment alone does not create effective commercial imagery. Composition, timing, lighting, movement, editing, and visual strategy determine whether the final work actually communicates value.

Cedar & Shore Studio approaches aerial production as part of a larger visual communication system. Every flight begins with the intended use of the imagery, the audience it must reach, and the details that must be clearly shown.

This creates aerial assets that feel intentional, refined, and consistent with the rest of your business or project.

One Production. A Complete Visual Library.

Aerial coverage is most effective when it works with the rest of your marketing.

Cedar & Shore Studio can combine drone photography and video with commercial photography, brand storytelling, interviews, property media, social content, website imagery, and web design. This allows your business to build a more cohesive visual library without coordinating several unrelated vendors.

How the Process Works

Consultation

We begin by identifying the location, purpose, deliverables, intended audience, usage requirements, and any specific views or details that must be captured.

Flight Planning

The location is reviewed for airspace restrictions, property access, operational risks, weather considerations, and other requirements that could affect the flight.

Production

Aerial photography or video is captured according to the approved project scope. Ground-level production may be completed during the same session when included.

Editing and Delivery

Selected photographs and footage are professionally processed and delivered in the formats required for the approved use.

Responsible Commercial Drone Operations

Every project is subject to airspace authorization, weather, visibility, property permission, operational safety, and applicable FAA requirements.

Flights may be rescheduled, modified, or declined when conditions do not allow the operation to be completed safely or legally. Certain locations may require additional authorization, coordination, permits, or scheduling time.

Commercial operations are conducted by an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot.

Serving the Olympic Peninsula and Beyond

Cedar & Shore Studio is based in Sequim, Washington, with aerial services available throughout Clallam County, Jefferson County, Kitsap County, and surrounding areas.

Projects outside the immediate service area are available with travel pricing based on location, production requirements, and scheduling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fly anywhere?

No. Drone flights depend on airspace, property permission, weather, visibility, local restrictions, operational risk, and FAA requirements. Each location must be reviewed before the flight is confirmed.
Sectional Aeronautical Charts

Can you fly over people or public events?

Some operations near or over people may be restricted or require specific planning, equipment, procedures, permissions, or operating authority. Event coverage is reviewed individually.
Operations Over People

What happens if the weather is poor?

Flights may be rescheduled when wind, rain, fog, visibility, or other conditions would affect legal restrictions, safety or image quality. Final scheduling decisions are based on conditions at the location.
Aviation Weather

Do I need to provide property permission?

The client is responsible for confirming that the requested launch, landing, and property access are authorized. Cedar & Shore Studio may request written permission for certain locations.

Can drone footage be added to another project?

Yes. Aerial coverage can be incorporated into commercial photography, real estate media, tourism campaigns, interviews, promotional videos, social content, and website projects.
Services

Do you provide surveying or technical inspections?

No. Aerial images can support visual documentation, but Cedar & Shore Studio does not provide licensed surveying, engineering, roofing, structural inspection, or professional technical analysis.

How quickly will I receive the finished files?

Delivery time depends on the project scope. A standard delivery schedule will be included in the proposal before production begins. Rush delivery may be available for an additional fee.
