Aerial photos and video show what a ground-level camera cannot: the size of the lot, the shape of the roofline, the backyard and pool, and what sits around the property. Photogenic Properties flies drones for residential listings, commercial buildings, land and new developments across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
The full lot: boundaries, driveway, backyard, pool and outbuildings in a single frame.
Location in context: the street, the ravine, the park or the water the listing description talks about.
Roof, elevations and grounds of larger homes and commercial buildings, without a ladder.
Opening shots that give a property video a sense of place from the first second.
Land, acreage and development sites, where the parcel itself is the product.
Drone Photography
High-resolution aerial stills of the front and rear elevations, the lot and the surrounding streets, edited to match the ground photography of the same listing so the gallery looks like one shoot. Aerial photos are delivered within 24 hours after the flight.
Drone Video and FPV Fly-Through
Cinematic aerial video for listing presentations and social media: smooth reveals of the property and its surroundings, plus FPV fly-through footage that moves from outside the home through the front door and on through the interior in one continuous shot. Video is delivered within 48 hours. For a full listing film or a vertical cut for Instagram and TikTok, see property videography.

Unlike most of our services, drone coverage is one flat price regardless of the size of the property, and it covers aerial photos and aerial video on the same visit. Prices are in Canadian dollars.
Commercial Buildings, Land and Developments
Aerial coverage is often the only way to document a commercial property properly: the building footprint, parking, loading areas, neighbouring tenants and access from the main road. We also fly land parcels for sale and construction sites where progress is recorded over several visits. Tell us what the images are for and we will plan the flight around it.
Where We Fly
Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville and Thornhill, and across the rest of the Greater Toronto Area including Durham Region, as well as Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph. Additional travel fees may apply outside our standard service area.
Before the Flight
Send the address early. Flight rules depend on the location: some areas, especially near airports, need authorization before a drone can fly, which takes time to arrange.
Watch the forecast with us. Drones do not fly in heavy rain or strong wind. If the weather does not cooperate, we reschedule the aerial part at no extra cost.
Clear the exterior. Cars off the driveway, bins out of sight, pool cover off and garden furniture in place: everything outside is visible from above.
Drone Photography FAQ
How quickly do I get the aerial photos and video?
Aerial photos are delivered within 24 hours of the shoot and video within 48 hours. Larger or more complex projects may take slightly longer.
What happens if the weather is bad on the shoot day?
We reschedule the drone flight at no extra cost, or shoot the interior as planned and return for the aerial coverage when conditions improve.
Can you fly anywhere in the GTA?
Most residential addresses are straightforward. Locations near airports and other controlled airspace need authorization in advance, so send the address as early as you can and we will confirm what is possible before the shoot.
Do you shoot commercial properties as well as homes?
Yes. Houses, condos, commercial buildings, land and development sites are all part of the regular work.
