The studio

Real estate media, made to be noticed.

A boutique real estate photography and video studio in Victoria, BC. Stills, film, aerials, twilight and property websites, all under one roof. We work with a select few top-producing agents on Vancouver Island, and with the builders, designers and developers who make the homes they sell.

No subcontractors and no rotating shooters. The same small team shoots the stills, the film and the aerials, so a listing’s whole set reads as one body of work. We take on new clients when it’s a fit both ways, and put real time into the people we work with.

The full set

Photography, film, aerials and property websites.
One studio.

01 — Photography

Stills that read as editorial images.

Most companies rely on outsourced editing houses for speed, and it shows: the flat, over-brightened look that says real estate before it says anything about the home. Every frame here is edited in our own studio, with the light held the way it was in the room, so the set reads like a magazine spread rather than a listing feed.

02 — Video

Film is how a house makes you feel.

Sixty to 120 seconds built around real movement through the house, not a drone orbit. Gimbal and slider work, natural sound where it helps, licensed score where it doesn’t.

03 — Aerial

The setting, from above.

Transport Canada RPAS Advanced certified and insured. Lot lines, shoreline and approach, with the NAV CANADA authorization most of the peninsula needs already filed.

04 — Property websites

One link that carries the whole listing.

Built from the shoot and live the day the listing goes up. Gallery, film, floor plans and an enquiry form on one page, at full size.

05 — The result

Made to stand out.

Delivered in a private gallery within 48 hours, already sized for MLS, web, print and social.

Then it goes live. On a phone, in about two seconds, next to forty other properties.

Make yours the one they stop on.

What we make
Add to any shoot
  • Aerial & drone

    RPAS Advanced certified and insured, with the NAV CANADA authorization most of the peninsula requires before anything leaves the ground.

  • Sunset or sunrise

    A dedicated evening or morning visit, the interior lit room by room, shot in the minutes when the sky and the windows balance.

  • Vertical reels

    Reframed shot by shot at 9:16, not a landscape film turned on its side. Cut to its own rhythm for Reels, Shorts and TikTok.

How a shoot runs
  • No travel charge

    Greater Victoria and Sooke included. Mill Bay and up-island, and the Gulf Islands, are quoted flat and in advance.

  • 48 hours

    Photography is typically 24–48 hours and film 48–72, depending on the season. Delivered in a private gallery, already sized for MLS, web, print and social.

  • RPAS certified

    Transport Canada Advanced Operations, fully insured, and we file the airspace authorization most of the peninsula needs.

  • Weather-flexible

    We reschedule at no cost whenever the weather will not do the property justice. We would rather move a day than photograph a home at less than its best.

Nearing capacity

A limited calendar.

We take on new clients when it’s a fit both ways. We put real time into the people we work with, and there’s only so much of it. Send the address and the timeline and we’ll tell you honestly what we can do.
