Drone photography in New Braunfels, San Antonio, and San Marcos
Aerial stills when the property, the airspace, and the brief actually call for them — flown by a current FAA Part 107 remote pilot based in New Braunfels.
What we shoot
- Real estate and acreage listings that need clear roof, lot, and neighborhood context
- Commercial sites, campuses, and facilities documentation
- Construction progress and project archives
- Select event and engagement frames when the site is legal and the air shot earns its place
- Property marketing that pairs ground photography with aerial stills or short aerial video
If the job is illegal airspace, a no-fly HOA with no path to approval, or a request for reckless proximity flying, we decline.
Licensed flight, not a hobby camera
Commercial drone work in the U.S. requires a current Part 107 certificate. We fly registered aircraft with Remote ID where required and carry liability on the job.
San Antonio Class B, military airspace, and busy event days change the plan. We check airspace before we quote a flyable set — not after we show up.
When aerial is worth it
Aerial helps when the lot, water, roof, or setting is part of the story. It is not a default add-on for every townhouse.
We will tell you honestly when ground photography is enough, and when a drone set (or a short aerial video) is the better spend. For short aerial video and listing films, see our aerial videography service to pair motion with these stills.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licensed Part 107 drone pilot for listing or commercial photos in Texas?
Yes for commercial use. Hiring an unlicensed hobby flyer for a listing or paid job is not a shortcut — it is a compliance and insurance risk. We fly under a current Part 107 certificate.
How much does drone photography cost in San Antonio or New Braunfels?
It depends on airspace, site access, stills vs video, and whether ground photography is included. We do not publish drive-by prices. Send the address, date window, and what you need; we reply with a scoped review.
When is aerial photography worth it for a property?
When the lot, roof, water, views, or neighborhood context matter in the first five frames. For many interiors-first listings, a strong ground set is enough. We will say which side you are on.
Can you fly near San Antonio International or in restricted neighborhood airspace?
Sometimes, with the right authorizations and conditions — and sometimes not. We check airspace before we commit. If we cannot fly legally, we tell you up front and adjust the scope.
How long does turnaround take for aerial stills?
Most standard stills sets deliver on the written schedule in the project review, often within a few business days after a clean flight. Large sets, video edits, or weather delays change that date.
What is included in a standard drone photo set?
A planned set of edited aerial stills for the angles we agree matter — not every frame from the card. Video, twilight, orthomosaic mapping, or multi-visit progress shoots are separate scopes.
Do you carry insurance and use Remote ID?
We carry liability for the work and follow current Remote ID and registration rules for the aircraft we fly on your job.
How should I prep the property before an aerial shoot?
Clear driveways of extra vehicles when possible, tidy obvious yard clutter, open pool covers if the water is part of the story, and tell us about locked gates or dogs. A five-minute prep often shows in the first aerial frame.
