I’m Mark, an FAA Part 107 certified commercial drone pilot with a lifelong passion for aviation. Certified as a private pilot and having worked as an airport line crewman over 25 years ago, I’ve carried that deep appreciation for flight, airspace, and aerial perspectives into my current work — capturing the world from above.
Operating alongside my full-time professional career (which follows a rotating day/night shift schedule until retirement in a couple years), I dedicate my off periods to creating high-quality aerial cinematography and photography for clients who value their special places.
Catering to the average homeowner — whether it’s a cherished family cabin nestled in the woods, a generational country home, rolling farmland, or a landscape rich with personal history — I specialize in cinematic drone storytelling and property documentation. My work goes beyond standard real estate shots. I focus on preserving rural and residential memories through thoughtful composition, cinematic techniques, and emotional, nostalgic footage that helps families and landowners hold onto the beauty and stories of their properties from a perspective few ever experience.
Based in Virginia and serving the central borders of VA & NC, I’m selective with the projects I accept and appreciate advance notice to align with my schedule. When I take on a project, I approach it with the same professionalism, precision, and care that defines my primary career. From sweeping cinematic reveals at golden hour to detailed, archival documentation, every flight is handled with dedication and creativity.
Services Include:
- Cinematic drone videography and photography

If you have a meaningful place you’d like to immortalize from the sky — whether for personal memories, insurance records, marketing, or simply to celebrate its beauty — I’d be honored to help capture it.
Commercial inquiries are welcome. Please reach out with as much advance notice as possible so we can find the best time during my off weeks to create something special together.
