What's Holding You Back

Nine centuries of history and a regional park on the doorstep, and most local marketing shows neither. Waltham Abbey's church and gardens, the Lee Valley's lakes and green space, the Gunpowder Mills' extraordinary site: the town is surrounded by settings that venues and businesses elsewhere would invent. From the air, they're all in frame at once.

What we deliver

We fly Waltham Abbey with aerial photography, aerial videography, property and land imagery and event or venue coverage. From Chelmsford it's about forty-five minutes, and flights near the abbey and the valley's protected areas are planned with proper care. Deliverables arrive edited, graded and cut for portals, venue pages and social channels.

The Result

Clients get imagery worthy of the setting. Venues across the town and valley show grounds and capacity at real scale. Agents market homes with the abbey gardens or the valley's green space visible. Businesses along Sun Street borrow a backdrop with a millennium of pull. In a town this photogenic, the drone just does the obvious.

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 cover Waltham Abbey?

Yes, it's about forty-five minutes from our Chelmsford base on our west Essex round. Flights near the abbey and the valley's sensitive areas are planned considerately, which we handle as part of every booking.

What would a typical brief look like?

Most briefs mix aerial photography, aerial videography, property and land and event and venue aerials in some proportion. We shape the flight around that mix, sort the airspace side, then hand over finished files. A companion set via photography around Waltham Abbey often completes the picture nicely.

Do you charge by the hour or day?

Neither. Jobs are costed as jobs, so you pay for outcomes rather than clock time. That keeps a quick Waltham Abbey stills set affordable and stops longer edits from producing surprise invoices weeks after the flight.

How long is the wait after a shoot?

The edit sets the pace. Simple stills move quickly; a produced film properly takes longer. Either way you will know the delivery plan for the Waltham Abbey job before the drone flies, not after it lands.

Do you know the wider area well?

Well enough to plan flights from memory. Epping, Loughton, Nazeing and Upshire are regular stops, Theydon Bois and Cheshunt familiar ones, and that local knowledge shows in the angles chosen as much as the logistics.

Are your services designed to work together?

Deliberately so. Photography, videography around Waltham Abbey and social media management share their planning with the aerial side, which means a single brief can feed four services without ever repeating itself.
