Drone Video and Aerial Photography on the Monterey Peninsula

Pacific Grove, Monterey, Pebble Beach, Carmel, Big Sur, and surrounding areas of California

Thoughtful Drone Video and Aerial Photography That Adds Context

Drone video and aerial photography are most effective when they help viewers understand place, scale, and relationship. Rather than using aerial imagery as a visual gimmick, I focus on intentional flights that support the story a business, property, or project is trying to tell. Whether documenting a location, introducing a space, or adding visual depth to a larger campaign, drone imagery works best when it is planned, restrained, and purposeful.

I am an FAA certified drone pilot based in Pacific Grove, creating professional drone video and aerial photography throughout the Monterey Peninsula. Every flight is approached with attention to safety, legality, light, and composition, so the final images and video feel clean, calm, and useful rather than distracting.

Drone Video and Aerial Photography Are Well Suited For:

• Business and brand storytelling

• Commercial and residential real estate

• Rural land and property marketing

• Hospitality, tourism, and destination projects

• Construction, development, and progress documentation

• Events and special projects where scale and setting matter

Commercial and Branding Drone Video

Brand storytelling · Marketing · Professional visual content

Drone Video for Commercial Branding and Visual Storytelling

Commercial and branding drone video is a powerful way to introduce a business, product, or location with immediate visual impact. Aerial footage draws attention, establishes setting, and helps viewers quickly understand scale, environment, and experience. For marketing and branding projects, drone video often becomes the opening moment that sets tone and creates interest.

I create commercial drone video for businesses and organizations that want visuals which feel polished, intentional, and aligned with their brand identity. The result is footage that feels confident, visually engaging, and well suited for websites, campaigns, and promotional use.

Designed to Integrate With Photography and Ground Video

Commercial drone video is often captured alongside professional photography or ground-based video to create a complete and cohesive visual set. This allows aerial footage to flow naturally into marketing materials, social media, and digital campaigns, giving businesses flexibility in how the visuals are used.

Whether the goal is a single campaign, a product launch, or ongoing brand content, combining drone video with ground imagery creates a stronger, more dynamic presentation than either approach alone.

Real Estate, Property, and Land Drone Video

Property context · Scale · Location clarity

Aerial Video That Helps Properties Be Understood

Real estate and land drone video is most effective when it helps viewers understand a property in relation to its surroundings. Aerial footage can show access, boundaries, elevation, and proximity in ways that ground photography cannot, providing valuable context for buyers, investors, and decision makers.

I create drone video for residential and commercial real estate, rural land, and development projects throughout the Monterey Peninsula. Each flight is planned carefully to highlight what matters most, whether that is location, setting, or overall scale. The goal is clear, informative visuals that support listings, presentations, and marketing materials.

Purposeful Aerial Coverage for Real-World Use

Drone video for property and land should feel clean and restrained, not overly stylized. Smooth movement, thoughtful framing, and accurate representation are prioritized so the footage remains useful and trustworthy.

Many projects combine aerial video with professional photography to create a complete visual set. This integrated approach helps real estate professionals, land owners, and developers present properties clearly and efficiently, without unnecessary complexity.

Automotive and Enthusiast Drone Video

Automotive storytelling · Motion · Visual context

Drone Video That Adds Perspective to Automotive Stories

Automotive and enthusiast drone video adds a sense of place and movement that ground-based imagery alone cannot provide. Whether the vehicle is static or in motion, aerial footage helps show scale, environment, and how the car fits into its surroundings. When used thoughtfully, drone video enhances the story rather than overpowering it.

I create automotive drone video for collectors, enthusiasts, clubs, and brands who want visuals that feel considered and intentional. Flights are planned around location, light, and movement so the footage complements the design and character of the vehicle. The focus is on clean visuals and controlled motion, not aggressive or distracting flying.

Designed to Complement Automotive Photography

Many automotive drone projects are captured alongside professional automotive photography to create a complete visual set. This allows still images and video to work together across websites, social media, and editorial use, presenting the vehicle in a cohesive and polished way.

Automotive drone video is especially effective for showcasing collections, special vehicles, and location-based shoots where setting plays an important role. The result is imagery that feels elevated, calm, and purposeful, supporting long-term use rather than short-lived trends.

Cinematic and Creative Drone Video

Atmosphere · Motion · Visual exploration

Creative Aerial Video Focused on Mood and Movement

Cinematic and creative drone video explores movement, light, and atmosphere in a more open-ended way. These projects are less about documenting a specific service and more about visual storytelling, rhythm, and place. This type of work allows for experimentation with pacing, framing, and motion while still maintaining a clean, controlled aesthetic.

I use cinematic drone video to explore locations, environments, and moments that benefit from a slower, more intentional visual approach. The emphasis is on smooth motion, thoughtful composition, and restraint, allowing the imagery to feel immersive rather than overwhelming.

Creative Work That Informs Client Projects

While these videos are creative in nature, they directly inform my client work. Experimenting with cinematic techniques improves how I approach business, real estate, and automotive drone projects by refining timing, camera movement, and visual flow.

Cinematic and creative drone video serves as a space to push ideas while maintaining professionalism and control. It represents the foundation of how I think visually and ensures that client projects benefit from a refined, practiced approach rather than experimentation happening on the job.

Events and Special Projects Drone Video

Unique moments · Real-world conditions · Adaptability

Drone Video for Moments That Do Not Follow a Script

Events and special projects often involve changing conditions, tight timing, and moments that cannot be repeated. Drone video in these situations requires planning, awareness, and the ability to adapt quickly while maintaining safety and visual quality.

I create drone video for events and one-off projects where context, timing, and discretion matter. Whether capturing a surprise engagement, a special occasion, or a unique project that does not fit into a standard category, the focus is on being prepared and responsive while keeping the visuals clean and intentional.

Planned Flights With Room to Adapt

Even when a project is spontaneous in nature, professional drone work still requires structure. Each event or special project is approached with careful consideration of airspace, safety, light, and surroundings so the drone footage supports the moment rather than interrupting it.

This type of work benefits from experience and restraint. The goal is to capture meaningful perspective and atmosphere while respecting the people involved and the environment. When done well, drone video adds a layer of context that enhances the memory of the moment without drawing attention to the process itself.

Aerial Drone Photography

Perspective · Context · Still imagery from above

Aerial Photography That Adds Clarity and Scale

Aerial drone photography provides a clear, informative perspective that ground-based still photography cannot. From showing layout and surroundings to revealing patterns, access, and relationships within a space, aerial stills help viewers understand a location at a glance.

I create professional aerial photography for businesses, properties, land, automotive projects, and special assignments throughout the Monterey Peninsula. Each image is captured with intention, focusing on clean composition, accurate representation, and useful visual information rather than novelty.

Designed to Complement Ground Photography

Aerial photography is most effective when it works alongside professional ground-based images. Many projects benefit from having both captured during the same session, creating a cohesive set of visuals that can be used across websites, listings, presentations, and marketing materials.

By approaching aerial stills with the same care as all other photography, the resulting images remain versatile and relevant over time. The goal is to provide perspective and context in a way that feels natural, polished, and genuinely useful.
