Why Book Me for Aerial Photography


There’s a big difference between someone flying a drone and someone using it to tell a story. I bring both: I’m a CAA-certified drone pilot and a professional photographer with over 15 years’ experience shooting for brands like the BBC, TUI, RHS and National Geographic.


That means you get high-quality, legally compliant drone imagery, with the creative eye to make each shot count.


Whether it’s for property, tourism, events or branded content, I don’t just fly up and hope for the best. I plan the angles, work around light and weather, and make sure the final shots are sharp, usable and aligned with your brand goals.


  • ✈️ CAA-certified & fully insured for safe, legal flying across the UK
  • 📷 Professional photographer first, not just a drone owner
  • 🎯 Strong on creative planning, composition and storytelling
  • 🏡 Ideal for real estate, venues, tourism boards, events & more
  • ⏱ Quick turnaround, full usage rights, and zero faff


If you want aerials that look great and serve a purpose – that’s where I come in.
