Why Mersea businesses choose KJW Media

What's Holding You Back

An island crossed by a tidal causeway is an aerial subject by definition. West Mersea's houseboats and moorings, the oyster sheds working the same grounds the Romans harvested, the beach huts along the front, the Strood disappearing under a spring tide: this is imagery with real pull, and most island businesses have never commissioned a frame of it.

What we deliver

We fly Mersea with aerial photography, aerial videography, event and venue coverage and property or land imagery, timing visits around the tide because here the tide decides. From Chelmsford it's about forty-five minutes plus a causeway check. Estuary airspace is planned per flight, and everything arrives edited and ready to publish.

The Result

The results carry the island's identity. Seafood and hospitality businesses show the working waterfront their reputation rests on. Venues and event organisers get the coastline at proper scale. Agents market homes with moorings and estuary in frame, the exact things buyers cross the Strood for. Distinctive place, distinctive imagery, straightforward process.

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 Mersea Island?

Yes, tide permitting, which is a genuine scheduling factor here. We're about forty-five minutes from Chelmsford and plan island visits around the Strood and the water, with flexible dates built into every booking.

What do your drone packages consist of?

Aerial photography, aerial videography, event and venue aerials and property and land, assembled around what you need rather than a fixed menu. Every package includes preparation, the flight itself and the desk work afterwards. Pairing it with West Mersea videography rounds out the coverage from ground level too.

Why do quotes vary between jobs?

Because editing does. A dozen graded stills and a two-minute film demand very different desk hours, and desk hours drive cost more than the flight itself. Your West Mersea quote reflects the work behind the deliverables, not just the flying.

What does your delivery process look like?

Fly, edit, hand over, with dates pinned to each stage when you book. Stills clear the desk first; film follows once graded and cut. Any change to the West Mersea plan reaches you the day it happens.

How far around here will you fly?

Across the whole neighbourhood: East Mersea, Peldon, Abberton and Langenhoe, and out to Rowhedge beyond them. The map matters less than the brief; if the sites cluster sensibly, the trip works.

Where should we look for your other services?

Right here on the site: commercial photography around West Mersea, videography and social media management each have their own page. Between them and the drone, most marketing briefs are covered from end to end.
