Arizona
Drone Photographer in Arizona.
Drone FAA Part 107-certified aerial photography and cinema. Serving Prescott, Prescott Valley, Sedona, Flagstaff, and the Phoenix metro, from a Prescott Valley native.
Statewide
One studio, the whole state.
Tex was born and raised in Prescott Valley, so Arizona is home, not a market someone parachutes into. Drone Photographer work runs from the mile-high Prescott area, Sedona's red rock, and the Flagstaff high country down to the Phoenix metro, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, and Gilbert. The studio built its track record and its 100-plus five-star reviews in California, and that same eye now serves the state.

FAQ
Drone Photographer in Arizona, answered.
-
Are you FAA Part 107 certified?
Yes. Tex is FAA Part 107 certified, fully insured, and operates as a licensed commercial drone pilot. All flights comply with FAA regulations including airspace authorization, altitude limits, and visual line-of-sight requirements. Insurance documentation is available on request. -
What can drone footage be used for?
Wedding aerials, real estate listings, brand and commercial campaigns, event coverage, construction progress documentation, industrial inspections, and editorial storytelling. Output ranges from short Instagram clips to broadcast-grade 4K cinema and high-resolution stills for print. -
What about restricted airspace?
Much of Yavapai and Coconino County is unrestricted Class G airspace, but locations near Prescott's Ernest A. Love Field, Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, or Sedona Airport require pre-flight FAA authorization. Tex handles all permitting through LAANC. Plan two extra days of lead time for restricted areas. -
Can you fly over private property?
Yes, with the property owner's written permission. Tex provides a release form for property owners. For shoots over public land, we follow Forest Service, Park Service, and BLM regulations, some Coconino National Forest and Arizona state-park areas require special permits, which Tex coordinates ahead of the shoot. -
What weather conditions limit drone work?
Summer monsoon storms (July–September), sustained winds above 25 mph, and high-country snow are the main limits. Tex monitors forecasts in the days leading up to a shoot and will reschedule if conditions don't allow safe flight or quality footage. Monsoon afternoons often clear by evening, so we plan flights around a forecast window with a backup time.
