Aerial Photography for Real Estate
Specializing In Aerial Real Estate Photography
Marc specializes in aerial photography for real estate developers, urban planners, commercial real estate brokers, civil engineers, and construction companies. Whether it’s a finished project, a project in progress, or an asset for sale and you need remarkable, magazine quality images to showcase your project. And if you are reading this…You’ve come to the right place for aerial photography services. Sometimes drones can do what you’re after but often times due to airspace restrictions and height restrictions hiring a drone operator is not an option. Luxury Real Estate Images utilize Robinson R44 helicopters to capture razor-sharp high-resolution imagery. The high-resolution aerial photography can be printed in sizes up to 60″ and beyond for display. Jobs are quoted based on the scope of your project and flight time in the air.
“Marc specializes in aerial real estate photography for real estate developers, urban planners, commercial real estate brokers, civil engineers, and construction companies.”
The Federal Aviation Administration, [by way of federal law] limits the vertical height of any drone to 400 feet above ground level. Making it impossible to use a drone for pull-back images [as seen below]. These images are photographed between 1,000 and 2,000 feet. This is exactly why a helicopter is needed. This is the type of aerial photography that is needed by real estate developers, urban planners, commercial real estate brokers, civil engineers, and construction companies to showcase their building sites, and for submission to planning commissions for project approval and to mark up and overlay graphics and boundary lines for current and future projects. Marc works closely with his clients to ensure a successful outcome for each project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a helicopter instead of a drone for aerial real estate photography?
Federal Aviation Administration rules limit drones to 400 feet above ground level, and airspace restrictions often rule out a drone operator entirely.

Real estate developers, urban planners, commercial real estate brokers, civil engineers, and construction companies throughout Orange County, Los Angeles, and Southern California use it to showcase building sites, finished projects, and assets for sale, and to submit to planning commissions for project approval.
How large can helicopter aerial photographs be printed?
The high resolution aerial photography Marc captures from a helicopter can be printed in sizes up to 60 inches and beyond for display.
Can aerial photographs be used for site plans and boundary overlays?

What Clients Are Saying
Real Client Experiences
From commercial and residential photography projects
“Thrilled is a perfect adjective to describe how we feel about your photography. Across a ten property portfolio, your work consistently stands out. Good content with good weather always helps, but the different vantage points, ground level, drone and aerial, along with images taken at different times of day, is a real differentiator.”
Kurt Altvater
Senior Vice President, Capital Markets, CBRE
“Working with Marc on a very high-profile listing in Beverly Hills was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Marc is professional, communicative, and easy to work with every step of the way, and the quality of his photography exceeded my expectations. Marc has an incredible eye for architecture. He captured the building and its surrounding structures in a way I honestly didn’t think was possible, finding angles and perspectives that brought the whole property to life. Marc’s work is simply in a different class from the average real estate photographer, with a level of artistry and precision that sets him apart. I couldn’t be happier with the results and will absolutely be working with him again on future projects.”
