Drone Photography FAQs

Does the drone photographer need to be FAA certified?
Yes — and this is the single most important question to ask before hiring any drone operator. Any drone pilot flying commercially in the United States is legally required to hold an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Flying commercially without it is a federal violation that can result in fines up to $32,666 per incident. Aaron holds an active FAA Part 107 certification, carries liability insurance, and files all required airspace authorizations before every flight. Always ask to see proof of certification before hiring any drone operator.
How much does drone photography cost in Minnesota?
Drone photography packages at Aaron Guzman Photography start at $395 for a Basic aerial session, $695 for a Premium package with 4K video, and custom pricing for film and commercial B-roll projects. Industry-wide, professional drone photography typically ranges from $150–$500 per session depending on location, deliverables, and complexity. Aaron's packages include edited photos and video — no raw file dumps.
What can a drone photographer shoot?
Aerial drone photography and video can be used for a wide range of projects including real estate listings, construction site documentation, commercial branding, event coverage, sports and athletic programs, farm and agricultural land, film and movie B-roll, and community or nonprofit storytelling. Aaron specializes in aerial photography, 4K aerial videography, B-roll for film and media, construction documentation, and commercial brand content across Minnesota.
Is drone photography legal in my area of Minnesota?
Drone flight legality depends on the airspace class, proximity to airports, and local ordinances. As an FAA Part 107 certified pilot, Aaron handles all airspace research and authorization requests through the FAA's LAANC system before every flight. He will advise you upfront if your location has any restrictions and will obtain the necessary waivers or authorizations. You never need to worry about compliance — it's handled for you.
What should I look for when hiring a drone operator?
The five things to verify before hiring any drone operator: (1) Active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate — ask to see it. (2) Liability insurance — protects you if anything goes wrong. (3) A portfolio of actual aerial work — not just ground-level photos. (4) Experience with your specific project type — real estate, events, and film B-roll each require different skills. (5) A clear contract with deliverables, turnaround time, and weather policy. Aaron checks all five and is happy to share his certificate, insurance documentation, and portfolio before you book.
How long does it take to receive drone photos and video?
Edited drone photos and video are typically delivered within 24–48 hours for standard projects. Commercial and film B-roll projects with more complex editing may take 3–5 business days. Aaron provides a firm turnaround timeline in every project agreement so you always know exactly when to expect your deliverables.
What happens if the weather prevents the drone flight?
Safety is always the priority. If weather conditions — high winds, rain, or low visibility — make flight unsafe or produce poor results, Aaron will reschedule at no charge. He monitors forecasts closely and communicates proactively so you're never left waiting on the day of the shoot.
