National Aerial Photography
Candid Studios has been delivering aerial photography using FAA-certified drone pilots since 2016, serving clients across real estate, construction, events, and commercial industries in Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Texas, Illinois, and New York. Our aerial photography packages include pre-flight planning with FAA airspace authorization where required, high-resolution overhead and angled shots captured at multiple altitudes, and professionally edited images delivered within 48 hours. We fly DJI enterprise-grade drones equipped with 1-inch sensors and mechanical shutters that produce sharp, color-accurate images even in bright sunlight. Every flight includes liability insurance documentation that we provide directly to your venue or property manager. Aerial photography is especially effective for large properties, construction progress documentation, commercial developments, event venues, and resort marketing. We handle all permit requirements and airspace coordination so you don't have to navigate FAA regulations yourself. Whether you need a single overhead shot of a rooftop venue or a complete aerial survey of a multi-acre property, our team adapts the flight plan to match your specific deliverables.
