Drone Video and Photography in Ottawa
Some Things Cannot Be Photographed From the Ground
A half acre lot looks like a lawn from the sidewalk. A finished deck looks flat. A commercial building looks like a wall. Ground level photos leave the buyer guessing about the one thing they care about most, which is scale.
Aerial footage answers that question in three seconds. It shows the property line, the surroundings, the access, and how the whole thing
sits together.
Real Estate Listings
Aerial photos and video that show the lot, the neighbourhood, and the approach. Listings with aerial media hold attention longer and communicate property size in a way ground photos cannot.
Land and Acreage
Vacant lots, rural property, and larger parcels where the entire value is in the land itself. Boundary context, terrain, road access, and surrounding features in a single shot.
Construction and Progress Documentation
Monthly or milestone aerial documentation of a build. Useful for client updates, contractor records, and marketing the finished work afterward.
Contractors and Trades
Roofing, decks, landscaping, paving, pools. Work that looks completely different from above and is difficult to sell with ground level photos.
Commercial Property and Facilities
Warehouses, retail plazas, industrial sites, and office buildings. Aerial context for leasing material, corporate sites, and investor presentations.
Business Marketing Video
Aerial footage integrated into promotional videos for social media, websites, and advertising campaigns, edited and delivered ready to use.
Selected Works
A closer look at both projects on our work page.
Ottawa Deck Pro
Deck construction is a visual purchase, and ground level photos do not communicate scale or finish quality. We shot aerial footage across completed projects and edited it into short videos for their
social media and website.
A-DIY (formerly Laccoo)
Aerial and ground footage for a deck product brand’s Canadian market launch, edited into promotional video for their website and social channels. Most of the shoot was flown, since the product reads best from above.
Filmed while the company operated under its original name, Laccoo, which is why that brand appears in the video.
How a Shoot Works
1. Scope and Site Check
You tell us the location and what the footage is for. We check the airspace, confirm whether authorization is needed, and quote a fixed price.
2. Scheduling Around Weather
Aerial work depends on wind and light. We book a target date with a backup, and we reschedule at no cost if conditions are unsafe or unusable.
3. The Shoot
Typically 60 to 90 minutes on site for a standard property. We shoot more than we need so there are options in the edit.
4. Edit and Delivery
Colour corrected stills and edited video delivered within five business days, in formats sized for your website, listings, and social media.
Ottawa Airspace Is Not Simple
We operate a sub-250g aircraft, which is exempt from registration requirements in Canada.
Before every shoot we confirm the airspace class for your specific address and fly within the rules that apply to it.
If a location cannot be flown safely or legally, we tell you before you pay, not after.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have prepared the answers to your questions for you.
Sometimes. It depends on the airspace class at your address. We check this before quoting and handle any authorization request ourselves at no extra charge.
We reschedule at no cost. Wind, rain, and heavy cloud all affect whether the footage is usable, and we would rather move the date than deliver something you cannot use.
Five business days for standard delivery. If you have a listing going live or a deadline, tell us upfront and we will work to it.
Yes. You receive full commercial usage rights for everything we deliver. We retain the right to show the work in our own portfolio unless you ask us not to.
We shoot ground level video and photography alongside aerial work where it makes sense for the project. Interior real estate photography is not our focus.
Yes, across the surrounding region including Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans, Stittsville, Manotick, and into the Gatineau area. Travel beyond 30 km is quoted separately.
