The Edwardian villa brief for Drone & Aerial Photography
Every Edwardian villa enquiry for drone aerial gets the same first reply: a short list of questions that saves the client time. Edwardian villas ring Sefton Park, Aigburth and West Kirby — large plots, bay-and-turret elevations, generous glazing. The shoot has to honour that scale without over-decorating.
Context
Edwardian villas are their own class of stock — the shoot method reflects that.
In practice, that means high-resolution aerial stills and 4K video, supplied within 48 hours. The turret is a signature — framing is planned to make it a hero, not a distraction.

How an Edwardian villa brief runs on the day.
