Showcasing Vancouver Island Resorts from Above: A Calmer, More Honest Approach
Vancouver Island has some of the most beautiful coastlines and hospitality destinations in the country. You don’t need flashy production or big-agency scripts to sell that — the landscape does the heavy lifting. A good drone flight just helps people feel what it’s like to be there.
I’ve spent years filming sunrises along the Island’s beaches, inlets, and trails. Resorts like the ones at Parksville, Mayne Island, or the Saanich Peninsula have that same quiet magic. When the light hits the water just right, you don’t need to do much more than lift off and let the Island speak for itself.
That’s the approach behind the hospitality work I take on: simple, cinematic aerial shots that show your guests the experience before they arrive.
What I Film for Resorts and Hospitality
Not packages — just the kinds of visuals people want to see:
Aerial Photos
Clean, high-resolution stills of your property, the shoreline, the trails nearby, and the views you’re known for.
Cinematic Aerial Video
Short, calm, sunrise-friendly clips your guests will actually watch — and remember.
The Surroundings
Because most people don’t book a room; they book a feeling. Beaches, forests, docks, bluffs, and that early morning quiet that makes Vancouver Island special.
Why This Style Works for Hospitality
I don’t try to oversell anything. If your resort sits on a beautiful piece of coastline, the footage will show that. If it’s tucked into the forest, sunrise through the trees tells its own story.
Guests can picture themselves there — and that’s what makes people book.
