Wedding Photography for property developers

Objections we hear
What property developers usually ask before signing off
Do we need to be on site with you?
No — inductions and access briefings can happen remotely; site managers are notified 24 hours ahead of every visit.
Can we use the imagery for planning discharge?
Yes — dated, GPS-logged imagery is regularly accepted by local planning departments as condition-discharge evidence.
What about airspace restrictions?
Every flight is planned inside CAA authorisations, with NOTAMs filed where required by the local airspace.
Can we get a monthly cadence?
Monthly is the default for most schemes; major civils stages can be ramped to fortnightly by prior arrangement.
