Each aerial project is unique based upon factors such as, but not limited to, site conditions, complexity of the project, risk to equipment and personnel, and end-use of photographs. Several factors are involved in estimating the cost for a specific job such as distance to travel, complexity of the job, site conditions, risk to equipment, etc. For each job we will need to review your specific needs and provide you with a written estimate of the total costs. We treat each job as if they're all "Rush" jobs, and will attempt to get out and get them shot as quickly as possible, usually within the next day!

People call me all the time and the first question they ask is "How much do you charge to take an aerial photograph?". Well, without knowing any details or specifics of the job, my basic answer is going to be that my photography services start at $350 for a set of basic aerial photographs within our normal service area. Once I have time to get the details about what you're specifically looking for, the price might be lower and it might be higher. If you have several objects or properties you need photographed on the same day, we can discount each job into one flat rate price.

What about bad weather?
Weather is a factor, I don't like to shoot photos on overcast days. Dull light means dull photos. It also goes without saying that I don't photograph when it's raining or snowing. I like sunny days or at least partly sunny days. Winds usually aren't a problem unless it's blowing 25mph and gusty, on those days I generally lay up and do some computer work and wait for the winds to lay. I'm pretty good at watching the weather forcast and won't schedule something on a bad day.

What if I'm not satisfied?
I'm not happy until you're happy. If I don't get the shot you want, I'll reshoot it at no additional cost if it's within our normal service area. Sometimes the shot a client has in mind just isn't there or can't be done. Usually when we discuss the photo you're looking for I'll know if it's doable or not. If I can't get the photos you want, then I'll write it off and we'll go our seperate ways.
