We truly believe that the photographers pictures are what sold our house so quickly. They were very attentive with detail and made sure to capture everything that was needed. Very professional, knowledgeable, and awesome! Would give 10 stars if that was an option!

The pictures turned out great! It was raining that day, and the photographer was able to replace the sky with a beautiful blue sky. He also took his shoes off when he came in, to make sure he didn't get the floors wet or dirty. Overall it was a great experience.

I am listing my house, and my realtors recommended Donovan from Aerial State Media to take photos. Have to say...From the moment he arrived you could sense the professionalism and superb experience he brought. Can't wait to see how spectacular my house looks :)

Donovan took over 3 hours to do the photoshoot of an upcoming listing. The property was very unique in that it had multiple facets about it and he did an amazing job portraying the property just as how I wanted him to. The interior, exterior, drone photos and videos were very well done and exceed my expectations. I would highly recommend!
