JC Media · Aerial photography
From abovethe Bay.
Aerial photography and drone cinematography around the Bay Area — captured at altitude, color-graded on the ground, delivered ready to publish.
Note from Joey
The best aerial frames aren’t about the drone — they’re about the light. I scout the location, watch the weather, and fly when the air is doing something interesting. Then I treat the footage like film: careful selects, slow color, prints worth hanging.
What I shoot
Everything that looks better from the air.
Paid client work and personal commissions alike — same kit, same color pipeline, same care for the light.
Commercial
Events
Weddings, festivals, fundraisers. One sweeping shot of the whole room.
Construction progress
Recurring site flights for stakeholders. Same angle, week after week.
Brand & marketing
Establishing shots that make a small studio feel like a film.
Landscape & travel
Coastlines, ridgelines, hill country. Editorial frames for prints, decks, and walls.
Personal
Weddings
Ceremony from above, venue establishing shots, the couple from a height that puts the day into the landscape.
Personal estates
Aerial portraits of family property — for the wall, the family record, the generational handoff. Not for sale.
Family events
Reunions, milestone birthdays, anniversaries — the gathering captured from above and on the ground.
Sports & lifestyle
Surfers, mountain bikers, skiers. Action where the motion of the line matters as much as the athlete.
