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.

The short answer

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.

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.
