Drone & Aerial Photography for churches and heritage trusts
Every heritage building shoot for drone aerial starts the same way: we walk the site, agree the frames that matter, then work quickly and quietly. Heritage buildings are high-contrast and often faculty-controlled, so the brief is about recording fabric honestly — stonework, glass, roof condition — without flattening the interior light.
Context
Heritage fabric has to be recorded, not flattered.
What that looks like on the ground: high-resolution aerial stills and 4K video, supplied within 48 hours. Bracketed exposures keep glass and shadow readable in the same frame.
Brief
How permission and bracketing are handled.
CAA-licensed flights with a sub-2kg airframe inside congested-area permissions. Bracketed exposures keep glass and shadow readable in the same frame.
Method
How this gets shot
CAA-licensed flights with a sub-2kg airframe inside congested-area permissions. Bracketed exposures keep glass and shadow readable in the same frame.
Constraints
What shapes the shoot
- •Faculty or trustee permission is needed before recording works or interiors.
- •Interiors run six or more stops between glass and shadow, so bracketing is standard.
- •Aerial inspection of roofs and towers depends on airspace and listed-building sensitivity.
Captured
What comes back
- Exterior elevations, all sides
- Nave or principal interior, bracketed
- Glass and decorative detail
- Roof, tower and gutter condition from the air
