How much does drone photography cost in Texas?
Custom-quoted per project. These are the typical starting points for drone photo, photo+video, twilight and timelapse in Central and South-Central Texas — plus what moves the quote up or down.
Most real estate drone packages in Texas start around $350 for photo-only and around $995 for the photo-plus-video combo. Twilight and timelapse add-ons start around $195. Final pricing is always custom-quoted — acreage, structures, site conditions, travel and delivery set the number. Day rates available for film, TV and commercial work.

Starting-at guide — what a first budget looks like.
A real quote will land here or above it. If it lands below, it is usually a small property with simple access. If it lands above, it is typically acreage, boundaries, or travel.
Photo Only
Polished ground + aerial imagery for when stills are all the listing needs. Up to 1 hour on site, full-frame RAW capture, color grading with natural grass & foliage enhancement, one aerial boundary-overlay image, high-res JPG delivery for MLS, web and social.
Photo + Video
One coordinated session, a complete visual story: professional ground photography plus a cinematic property video — up to 60-seconds, color-graded and stabilized, property-boundary animation, up to 6 lower-thirds, logo outro and licensed soundtrack. Includes an agent promo low-flyover and on-site voiceover recording, at no extra charge.
Twilight / Sunset
The property in the soft, emotional light of golden hour. Timing coordination for peak conditions, ground + aerial during the window, warm tone balancing and horizon correction. The strong hero image for luxury homes, scenic ranches and hilltop views.
Timelapse
Movement across the property — drifting clouds, changing light, the run into sunset. High-res stabilized capture, aerial hyperlapse when conditions allow, professional editing for intros, transitions and social posts.

What moves the quote up or down
- Acreage & boundaries — larger properties, multiple parcels, or boundary animations lift the quote.
- Structures & access — multiple dwellings, trees, power lines or restricted access raise the bar.
- Travel & timing — beyond about 30 minutes from our home base travel is quoted up front. Twilight and timed events add logistics.
- Day rates — film, TV, commercial and multi-day events are scoped as day blocks that include gear, licensing and revisions.
- Boundary graphics — our boundary overlays and extent animations are marketing tools, not a substitute for a legal survey.
Every quote is all-in. Travel beyond 30 minutes, special access, tolls and lodging are all disclosed before you book — never after.
