What you actually get.

Choosing a tier

What agents ask before they book a package.

How much does real estate photography cost in Orlando?

Professional real estate photography in Orlando ranges from $175 for a basic photo-only shoot on a small home to $650+ for a full media package on a luxury property with photos, video, drone, and a 3D tour. Most agents in the Central Florida market budget $250-$450 per listing once they include video and aerial.

Pricing is driven by square footage, the number of deliverables (photos, video, drone, 3D, twilight), and add-ons like virtual staging or social cutdowns. At Aerial Shots Media we run five tiers — Photography Only, Showcase, Signature, Premier, and STR Showcase — so the price scales with what the listing actually needs instead of forcing every home into the same package. A 1,800 sq ft Winter Garden townhome doesn't need the same media package as a 6,000 sq ft Windermere estate, and the pricing should reflect that.

How long does it take to get real estate photos back?

Standard turnaround for real estate photos in Central Florida is next business day by 5 PM, with rush 6-hour delivery available for an extra fee on shoots booked before 11 AM. Video and 3D tours typically take 24-48 hours depending on the package.

We deliver through a branded media portal where the agent can grab MLS-sized photos, full-resolution images, social verticals, and floor plans in one place. If you shoot Friday afternoon with us, you'll have everything by Monday morning at the latest. Rush options exist for agents working a hot-list weekend, but most listings don't need them.

Matterport vs Zillow 3D Home — which one should I use?

Both are navigable 3D walkthroughs that let buyers explore a home from any device. Zillow 3D Home is free for the listing agent, integrates straight into the Zillow listing, and is the right call for the vast majority of Central Florida listings under $700K. Matterport produces a polished, measurement-accurate scan and is the call for luxury and out-of-state buyer markets. Aerial Shots Media delivers Zillow 3D Home as part of our shoots; for Matterport, you'd book a Matterport-only provider.

Zillow 3D Home is free, fast, and pushes the listing higher in Zillow's algorithm — but the visual quality is lower and you're inside the Zillow ecosystem. Matterport produces sharper imagery, an accurate floor plan, and a more polished buyer experience for luxury inventory or homes where 30-40% of likely buyers are relocating from out of state. For most agents in the $400K-$700K bracket, Zillow 3D Home is the right call. Above that, Matterport's measurement accuracy and brand polish do real work for the listing.

What's included in a real estate video walkthrough?

A standard real estate walkthrough video runs 60-90 seconds, includes exterior establishing shots, drone aerials, key interior rooms, and is delivered in horizontal MLS format plus vertical 9:16 for Instagram and TikTok. A cinematic walkthrough adds a hosted on-camera intro by the agent, motion graphics, and licensed music, and runs 90-180 seconds.

We shoot on Sony FX30 cinema cameras with gimbal stabilization and S-Log3 color profiles, which is what gives the footage the smooth, professional look you see from top-tier production companies. The standard walkthrough is included in our Signature and Premier tiers; the cinematic agent-branded version is a Premier tier or add-on. Every video package includes a vertical social cutdown — that's not optional in 2026, that's how listings travel.

Do I need an agent-branded video or just a property video?

Agent-branded videos make sense for listing presentations, your personal brand, and social media content — anything where you want the buyer to remember you, not just the house. Property-only videos are better for the MLS, third-party syndication, and any platform where agent branding violates terms of service (Zillow restricts agent watermarks on listing media).

The smart play is to order both: a clean property video for the MLS and a separately edited branded version for your social and listing presentation deck. We deliver both from the same shoot for an add-on fee, so you're not paying for two production days. This is one of the most common mistakes agents make — they get one branded video, can't use it on the MLS, and have to pay for a re-edit.

Do you do twilight photos and when are they worth it?

Yes, twilight photos are shot in the 25-minute window after sunset when the sky is deep blue and the home's interior lights glow against the exterior. They're worth it for luxury listings, pool homes, lakefront properties, homes with strong landscape lighting, and any listing priced above $500K where the marketing budget supports premium imagery.

A standard twilight add-on is $150-$225 and includes 5-10 finished images. We also offer "fake twilight" — a daytime exterior shot processed to simulate twilight — for $40-$60 per image, which works for listings that need the look without the scheduling complexity. Real twilight always outperforms fake twilight on engagement metrics, but fake twilight is a real option when the timing doesn't work.
