Twin Cities MN Real Estate Photography, Drone, Video & Property Media Guide

Your Twin Cities property should be marketed for what buyers will actually notice. A Minneapolis condo may need skyline views, natural-light interiors and walkable urban context, while a Saint Paul historic home needs original architecture and character details preserved on camera.

An Edina luxury estate may call for cinematic video, drone, FPV and twilight coverage; a White Bear Lake or Forest Lake waterfront home needs the shoreline, dock, water views and home-to-lake relationship clearly shown.

For new construction and growing communities in Rosemount, Cottage Grove and Rogers, buyers may need to understand the homesite, development layout, surrounding land and neighborhood context.

Use this guide to see what media fits your specific property, what you should budget and when to schedule the shoot so the features that help buyers understand and remember your property are shown at their best.

Please Note: Prices are estimates and may vary by property and project—contact us for an exact custom quote.

His photography and videography truly elevate my listings and help them stand out online. He has a fantastic eye for lighting, angles, and the details that make a home feel inviting and memorable.

Beyond the quality of his work, Chris is reliable, efficient, and wonderful to work with. He’s professional with my clients, respectful in their homes, and always delivers a quick turnaround. It’s clear he takes pride in what he does, and it shows in the final product every time.
