Why Aerial Photography Changes Everything for Commercial Real Estate

In Kansas City's competitive commercial market, aerial photography isn't just a nice-to-have—it's strategic marketing intelligence. While your competitors show interior shots and basic exteriors, aerial perspectives immediately communicate location advantages that can make or break leasing decisions.

"Aerial shots aren't just pretty—they're strategic. We show proximity to highways, accessibility, and neighborhood context that ground-level photos simply can't capture."

Drone Photography Questions & Answers

Do you need special permission to fly drones in Kansas City?

Yes, commercial drone operations require FAA Part 107 certification and often LAANC authorization for controlled airspace. We handle all regulatory requirements and maintain current certifications for legal, compliant operations.

How high can you fly for commercial property photography?

FAA regulations allow flights up to 400 feet above ground level. This provides excellent perspective for most commercial properties while maintaining safe separation from manned aircraft and providing optimal image quality.

What weather conditions prevent drone photography?

We cannot fly in precipitation, visibility under 3 miles, or winds exceeding 25 mph. We monitor weather closely and will reschedule if conditions aren't optimal for safety and image quality.

How do aerial photos integrate with ground-level photography?

We coordinate aerial and ground photography for consistent lighting, weather, and styling. All images receive matching post-processing to create cohesive marketing packages that tell a complete property story.

Can you fly drones near Kansas City International Airport?

KCI is in controlled Class C airspace requiring LAANC authorization. We can obtain clearance for many areas but altitude and location restrictions apply. We'll verify feasibility during project planning.

What's the difference between drone photography and videography pricing?

Still photography focuses on capturing multiple high-resolution images from various angles. Videography involves cinematic movement, longer flight times, and video editing. Both are available as standalone services or combined packages.

How long does a typical drone shoot take?

Most commercial property drone shoots take 30-60 minutes including setup, multiple flight patterns, and various angles. Larger properties or comprehensive documentation may require longer sessions.
