Knoxville Drone Videographer & Aerial Cinematography
If you need drone footage that looks cinematic (not stock) and you want it handled safely and professionally, I’ve got you. I’m an FAA Part 107 remote pilot and an FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) DronePro, based in Maryville and serving Knoxville and East Tennessee. I help brands, builders, and production teams get clean aerial visuals without chaos, guesswork, or “we’ll figure it out on site.”
Aerial video that matches your brand (and your ground footage)
Most drone work looks “droney.” My goal is simple: footage that fits the project with smooth motion, intentional framing, and edits that cut seamlessly with your main camera.
Common deliverables
Aerial establishing shots for properties, campuses, venues, downtown, and wide landscapes.
Smooth flyovers, reveals, and orbits, done within safe limits.
Construction progress with repeatable angles and consistent framing.
Brand content for social and web hero footage.
Production support with aerials that match the look of the shoot.
Safe, compliant, and insured
This is where you don’t want shortcuts.
I’m an FAA Part 107 remote pilot and an FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) Representative, DronePro. I handle LAANC and controlled airspace planning when needed, and I’m insured.
If the location needs authorizations or extra planning, I handle that up front so shoot day stays simple.

FAQ
Are you licensed to fly drones commercially?
Yes. I’m an FAA Part 107 remote pilot.
Can you fly in controlled airspace (near airports) around Knoxville and East Tennessee?
Often, yes. It depends on the exact location and what the airspace allows. Some locations can be handled through LAANC. Others require more coordination and lead time. I’ve operated around airports on commercial projects when the approvals and safety plan are in place. Send me the address and your timeline, and I’ll tell you what’s realistic.
Do you provide drone photos too, or just video?
Both. Still photos and video.
How fast do you deliver?
It depends on scope, but quick turnaround is normal. If you’ve got a deadline, tell me up front and I’ll plan around it.
Do you carry insurance?
Yes.
Can you match the look of our production footage?
Yes. If you want clean corporate, cinematic, gritty, or anything in between, tell me the vibe and I’ll shoot to match so it cuts together clean.
