What's Holding You Back

Constable painted this landscape for a reason, and the reason is still there. Manningtree sits where the Stour widens into its estuary, with Dedham Vale opening upstream, scenery that national campaigns borrow while local businesses leave it untouched. For property, venues and rural enterprises here, the setting is the sales pitch. It just needs capturing.

What we deliver

We cover Manningtree with aerial photography, aerial videography, property and land imagery and land or estate marketing. From Chelmsford it's about forty-five minutes up the A12, and estuary flights are planned around tide, light and airspace. Deliverables come back edited, graded and sized for portals, particulars and social channels.

The Result

Clients here get imagery the landscape earns. Agents market town and vale property with the Stour in frame. Farms and estates across the vale present holdings with boundaries and water visible. Venues show settings that photograph like paintings because, locally, they are. It's some of the best raw material in Essex, finally put to work.

STAG Solar
Drone / Videography / Photography

We have engaged with KJW media for a number of drone based projects and have found Kian highly responsive. We have typically engaged Kian with a concept and he has been proactive in brain storming with us and making creative suggestions. Then once he has recorded the footage agreed we have found him patient and interested when we have requested edits and adaptions, implementing these quickly. Like us he is clearly interested in his trade and craft and this makes him a great person to collaborate with. We feel KJW's pricing makes their services very accessible, hence our using them on multiple occasions this year alone. Well worth asking for a quote as you may be surprised.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you travel to Manningtree?

Yes, it's about forty-five minutes from our Chelmsford base and one of the more rewarding trips we make. Estuary flying is planned around tide and light, with flexible dates built into each booking.

Do you only do one kind of drone work?

No, four kinds live on this page alone: aerial photography, aerial videography, property and land and land and estate marketing. They combine freely inside a booking, and photography around Manningtree from the ground can join the same visit whenever the brief wants both angles covered.

Are there extra fees we should expect?

None. The written quote is the whole cost, planning through to delivery. If weather forces a second attempt at the Manningtree site, that gets absorbed by us rather than billed back to you afterwards.

How do you handle deadlines?

By agreeing them plainly at the start. Flight day, edit window, hand-over date: all written down when the Manningtree job is booked, all updated immediately if conditions intervene. Guesswork plays no part in the process.

Is your coverage limited to this one place?

Not remotely. The same service runs through Mistley, Lawford and Dedham, and out beyond them to East Bergholt and Ardleigh. If your site sits somewhere between the names listed, assume it is covered and simply ask.

Could you refresh our whole visual identity?

That is usually a combination job: aerial imagery for scale, photography around Manningtree for detail, videography for the story, and social media management to roll the whole thing out consistently across every channel.
