The Service

Listing photography & videography

Listing photography and videography decide your sale’s first impression, because every buyer tours online before they tour in person.

Real estate photography in Chevy Chase starts with a clear no on casual drone shots. By our 2026 calculation from the area’s mapped center, Chevy Chase sits about 7.4 nautical miles from Reagan National Airport. Every address lands well inside the 15-mile inner ring. Flying a drone there needs specific FAA authorization, which is rarely practical for a listing on a normal timeline. A photographer who launches anyway puts the photos and a license at risk.

So most exteriors come from the ground. Elevated mast shots from a pole a few stories tall show rooflines and lot depth without leaving the yard. Wide street views give context and show the canopy buyers came for. For a larger lot, a measured site plan does more than an aerial would, since buyers can read setbacks, garden space and the garage position directly. It also gives architects and builders a starting point.

The houses deserve care. In Chevy Chase Village, 64.9% of housing units date from before 1940, per the 2020-2024 Census survey. Many sit in a historic district, and the Village’s Local Advisory Panel helps review exterior changes there. Original millwork, stair rails and leaded glass sell those homes. We shoot details as deliberately as rooms, in morning light for east-facing fronts and late afternoon for west.

A shoot day covers interiors, exteriors, details, a floor plan and a short video walk-through. Listing photography & videography describes the service. Remote buyers are served on virtual home tours in Chevy Chase, while launch-week ads run through property marketing strategy in Chevy Chase.

Where We Work

Chevy Chase

Light and setting change street by street. Chevy Chase Village and Section 3 have deep porches and mature canopies, so exteriors need careful timing to avoid heavy shade. Town of Chevy Chase houses often sit on wider lots that reward mast shots from the street. Chevy Chase View and North Chevy Chase homes from mid-century need bright interiors to open up smaller rooms. Condos near Chevy Chase Lake need views and amenity photos, with the association’s permission. Porch columns, transoms and garden walls often earn their own frames. Every shoot gets its own shot list.

Answered

Chevy Chase, answered.

Q: Can drones film Chevy Chase listings? A: Not without specific FAA authorization. Chevy Chase sits about 7.4 nautical miles from Reagan National, inside the 15-mile ring where flights are prohibited without it. We use elevated mast shots and measured site plans for Chevy Chase listings instead, which show the lot, trees and setbacks clearly. Q: How do you photograph a historic Chevy Chase Village house? A: Details first, then rooms. In Chevy Chase Village, 64.9% of homes predate 1940, per Census data, so millwork, stairs and original glass carry the story. We time exteriors around canopy shade and porch light for each orientation of the house. Q: What does a Chevy Chase photo day include? A: Interiors, exteriors, close details, a measured floor plan and a short video walk-through, usually in one visit. Each Chevy Chase shoot runs from a written shot list built on the house’s age, orientation and setting, and you approve it beforehand.
