Frequently Asked Questions and Information

The length of a property shoot depends on the size and type of the space, as well as the services required. A standard residential shoot including photography typically takes around an hour, while adding video or drone footage will naturally extend that time. Larger properties or commercial sites may require more detailed planning and multiple angles, which can increase the time on site. We always work efficiently, but never at the expense of quality or thorough coverage.

Before every shoot, we’ll discuss what’s involved so expectations are clear. Our goal is to capture the property at its best, with minimal disruption. We also take into account lighting conditions and any access considerations, which helps us make the most of the available time. With clear communication and preparation, we aim to keep the process smooth and straightforward from start to finish.

We provide a standard 24-hour turnaround for property photography, ensuring fast delivery without compromising quality. For projects that include video, drone footage or more complex editing requirements, delivery times may be extended slightly to allow for careful post-production. We’ll always let you know the expected timeframe up front, so you’re never left guessing.

Preparing a property for a shoot plays a big role in how it comes across on camera. Clean, tidy spaces allow the features of the property to stand out, while reducing distractions in both photos and video. Removing personal items, excess clutter and anything that draws the eye away from the space itself helps create a clean, welcoming impression. Think of it as preparing for a viewing—only the camera captures everything.

Attention to detail makes a noticeable difference. Fluffed cushions, clean windows, straight blinds and switched-on lights can subtly enhance the look of a room. In kitchens and bathrooms, clear surfaces and neatly arranged accessories go a long way. Outdoor areas should also be checked—mowing lawns, moving bins and tidying up can make exteriors much more appealing, especially in drone or wide-angle shots.

It’s helpful to have the property fully prepped before the photographer arrives. This allows us to focus on getting the best angles and lighting without delays. We’re always happy to offer quick suggestions on the day, but a little preparation ahead of time helps make the shoot run smoothly—and ensures the final images present the property in its best light.

Check out this post for a full rundown on how to prepare a property.

While we don’t provide hands-on staging or physical preparation services, we’re always happy to offer guidance on how to best present a property for photography or video. A few simple adjustments—like decluttering surfaces, opening blinds or switching on all lights—can make a big difference to how the space is perceived. Our aim is to help you get the most out of your shoot, and that starts with a well-prepared space.

Before the day of the shoot, we can provide a simple checklist or walk you through the key things to focus on based on the type of property. This might include tips for outdoor areas, lighting suggestions or advice on how to make individual rooms feel more open and inviting. We’re also available to answer any questions ahead of time, so you can feel confident everything is ready.

On the day, we’ll quickly assess each space before we start shooting and can point out any last-minute adjustments that might help improve the results. Whether it’s moving a few items out of frame or making use of natural light, these small tweaks can really enhance the final images and video. Ultimately, you know the property best, and our advice is here to support you in showing it at its best.

Weather can play a significant role in how a property appears on camera, particularly when drone footage or exterior shots are involved. Overcast skies or heavy rain can dull the look of a building, reduce natural light indoors and limit visibility for aerial work. If poor weather is forecast, we’ll always advise whether it’s worth rescheduling to get the best possible results—our aim is to showcase the property in its most appealing light.

We understand that property timelines can be tight, so we’ll do our best to work around your schedule. Rescheduling due to weather is never ideal, but we treat it as a practical decision to protect the quality of the final content. If conditions aren’t suitable on the day, we’ll find the next available slot that works for you, ensuring minimal disruption while still prioritising the outcome.
