A local commercial drone pilot, not a marketplace

When you hire a drone pilot through a national marketplace, you often get whoever is available. Here you work directly with the pilot who flies your job. I'm Embry Flory, a San Antonio-based FAA Part 107 certified pilot and a licensed commercial real estate agent, so I know what real estate and development clients need from the finished images. You can read more about me and the business.

Drone pilot FAQ

Are you an FAA certified drone pilot?

Yes. Flory Aerial Photography is fully insured. Ask us for proof of insurance if your project or client requires it.
How much does it cost to hire a drone pilot in San Antonio?
Photo and video packages start at $300. The price depends on the property or project, whether you need video, and how many locations. See the pricing page for package details or request a custom quote.

San Antonio, Bexar County, and the surrounding area, including Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, Helotes, Boerne, New Braunfels, Schertz, Cibolo, Converse, and Universal City.
