Drone Photography · Vaudreuil-Soulanges & West Island

    Aerial views that make people stop and stare.

    Transport Canada certified drone photo and video for real estate, events, tourism and local businesses across Vaudreuil-Soulanges and the West Island — as a standalone shoot or a $150–400 add-on to any package.

    Drone Photography

    A drone shot does what no ground photo can: it shows the waterfront, the lot size, the neighbourhood, the scale. From Vaudreuil-Dorion rooftops to Hudson marinas and Saint-Zotique's shoreline, we capture certified, insured aerial imagery that makes listings sell faster and businesses look bigger — delivered edited and ready to post.

    What moves the price

    Add-on versus standalone

    Aerials booked with a photo or video shoot run $150–400. A standalone flight carries the full travel and setup on its own, so it's quoted per flight.

    Flight time and property size

    A suburban lot is one short flight. Acreage, waterfront, farmland or a multi-building commercial site needs more air time and more frames.

    Airspace authorization

    Sites inside controlled airspace near Trudeau or Ottawa airports need a clearance request, which adds lead time and occasionally cost.

    Stills, video or both

    Stills only is the fastest turnaround. Adding aerial video means more flight time, stabilization and editing before delivery.

    In detail

    Exactly what you get.

    01What a drone session includes

    A standard session covers the flight, the pilot, the airspace clearance and the post-production. You receive edited, colour-graded aerial stills in high-resolution JPEG sized for MLS and print, plus web-optimized versions for listings and social. When the session includes video, aerial clips are delivered in 16:9 for web and 9:16 vertical for reels and stories, cut and stabilized rather than handed over as raw flight footage.

    Typical coverage of a residential property or small commercial site is a set of orbit and elevation stills — front elevation, rear, both sides, a top-down of the lot showing boundaries and outbuildings, and a wider context frame showing the street, waterfront or acreage. For land, farms and waterfront lots, the top-down and the context frame are usually the two images that do the selling, because they answer the question photos from the ground can't: what exactly am I buying, and what is next to it.

    Delivery is 48 to 72 hours after the flight. Editing, colour grading and licensing are always included in the quoted price, and the files are yours to use in listings, brochures, ads, social and print with no expiry. Raw flight logs and originals stay archived on our side in case you need a different crop or a reissue later.

    02Certification, airspace and insurance — how the flight is cleared

    Every commercial flight is operated by a Transport Canada certified pilot under Canadian aviation regulations, with liability insurance in place and each flight planned and logged. This isn't a formality: an uncertified operator filming your listing exposes you as the client, and most brokerages now ask for proof before they'll publish aerial images.

    Before we book, we check the property against controlled airspace. Sites near Montréal–Trudeau, Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier and smaller regional aerodromes may sit in a zone that requires authorization before we can legally fly, which affects both scheduling and, occasionally, altitude. We handle that request; you don't need to know the airspace class of your own street. If a site can't be flown, we tell you before you pay rather than showing up and improvising.

    There are also site-level rules we work around: minimum distances from bystanders, restrictions over crowds, and the practical need for a safe launch and recovery point. In dense areas that occasionally means launching from a neighbouring lot with permission. On the ground you don't have to do anything except let us know if the property is gated, has dogs, or sits inside a private community with its own rules.

    03Scheduling, weather and the light that actually matters

    Most residential and small-business flights take 30 to 60 minutes on site, which is why aerials work best booked alongside a photo or video shoot in the same visit. Bookings are usually confirmed within 48 to 72 hours of the request, and in the spring listing rush the constraint is rarely our calendar — it's the weather window.

    Drones don't fly in sustained high wind, steady rain, or freezing precipitation, and heavy overcast flattens a property in a way no amount of editing fully repairs. We watch the forecast and reschedule at no charge, normally the day before. If a shoot is time-critical for a listing deadline, tell us early and we'll build in a backup slot rather than a hope.

    For exteriors, the best light is the first two hours after sunrise or the last two before sunset. Waterfront in Hudson, Saint-Zotique or along the Ottawa River photographs best when the sun is behind the camera and the water isn't blown out; acreage and farmland show their shape best at low sun, which reveals the contours a flat midday sky erases. In winter, fresh snow and a clear sky are worth waiting a day for.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us most often.

    01Are you certified to fly drones commercially?

    Yes — our pilots hold Transport Canada certification for commercial drone operations and carry full liability insurance. Every flight is planned and logged according to Canadian aviation regulations.

    02How much does drone photography cost in Vaudreuil-Soulanges?

    As an add-on to a photo or video package, aerials run $150–400 depending on flight time and deliverables. Standalone aerial sessions are quoted per flight based on location and airspace. You always get the fixed price before booking.

    03Can you fly anywhere in Vaudreuil-Soulanges and the West Island?

    Almost everywhere. Some zones near airports or in controlled airspace need advance authorization — we check your exact address during quoting and handle the paperwork if required.

    04What happens if the weather is bad on flight day?

    We monitor the forecast closely and reschedule at no charge if wind, rain or low cloud makes flying unsafe or the footage unusable. You never pay for a weather cancellation.

    05How soon can you fly, and how long does it take on site?

    Most bookings are confirmed within 48 to 72 hours of the request, and residential or small-business flights take 30 to 60 minutes on site. Aerials are most efficient when booked alongside a photo or video shoot in the same visit.

    06When do I get the photos and video?

    Edited, colour-graded aerials are delivered within 48 to 72 hours of the flight, in high-resolution files for MLS and print plus web-sized versions for listings and social. Aerial video is delivered cut and stabilized, not as raw footage.

    07What happens if the weather cancels the flight?

    We reschedule at no charge, usually deciding the day before based on the forecast. Drones can't fly safely in sustained high wind, steady rain or freezing precipitation, and heavy overcast makes a property look worse than it is.

    08Do you need permission to fly over my property or my neighbour's?

    We need a safe launch and recovery point, which is sometimes on your lot and sometimes on a neighbouring one with permission. We also keep the required distance from bystanders and won't fly over crowds. If the property is gated or in a private community, let us know so we can clear access in advance.

    09Can you fly near Montreal or Ottawa airports?

    Often yes, but sites inside controlled airspace require authorization before the flight, which we request on your behalf. It adds lead time, and in some zones it caps altitude. If a location genuinely can't be flown, we tell you before you pay.

    10Are you insured, and can you provide proof to my brokerage?

    Yes. Our commercial operations carry liability insurance and our pilots hold Transport Canada certification. We can provide certification and insurance details on request, which most brokerages now ask for before publishing aerial images.

    11Who owns the aerial images and where can I use them?

    You do. Use them in MLS listings, brochures, print ads, paid social and on your website, with no expiry and no per-use fee. We archive the originals so you can request a different crop or a reissue later.

    12Do you shoot aerials outside Quebec?

    Yes — we regularly fly in Eastern Ontario, including Ottawa, Cornwall, Hawkesbury and Alexandria, under the same federal rules that apply in Quebec. Cross-border work needs no extra paperwork from you.

    13What's the best time of day for exterior aerials?

    The first two hours after sunrise or the last two before sunset. Low sun reveals the contours of acreage and keeps waterfront from blowing out; flat midday light is the most common reason aerial photos look ordinary.
