8 Best Aerial Drone Photographers in Seattle

The popularity of aerial photography has risen in tandem with the production of drones that are now more affordable than ever. These unmanned flying vehicles, when outfitted with a 4K camera are capable of capturing stunning overhead views with much more efficiency than a helicopter.

In recent years, licensed drone operators throughout the United States have built their businesses on providing photography and videography services for those in need of them. Those who tend to hire drone professionals most are realtors, developers, marketers, construction crews, and film makers.

Brides and grooms also call on a drone pilot to capture scenes from a wedding. Drones are also great at showing off the lush layout of a golf course.

As you can imagine, Seattle and the Pacific Northwest region have a fair amount of skilled drone operators ready to assist you with your project.
