We recently started using UAV Vision Media and couldn't be happier with the results. Chris provides excellent communication, a fantastic final product, and highly professional service from start to finish. The turnaround time was incredibly fast without sacrificing any quality. If you are looking for top-tier real estate photography and videography in the Twin Cities, I highly recommend them!

In real estate, great marketing can make all the difference — and Chris consistently delivers. 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. Having someone like Chris as part of my listing team makes my job easier and helps my sellers feel confident that their home is being presented at its very best. I highly recommend him.

Used Chris to take pictures of my classic Land Cruiser before putting it up for sale. Pictures came out great, and we were able to meet in a convenient location. Thanks again!

Chris worked with us on a residential shoot for our landscaping company. We did a project in St Paul and we wanted beautiful before and after photos. Chris gave us fair pricing and was very easy to work with. Our project had delays and he was quick to adjusting on the fly to accommodate us and the homeowners. He was friendly, professional, and understood what we needed. We are very happy with the photos and how quickly he had them ready for us. We will be using UAV again in the future and highly recommend them!
