Elevated Vision. Timeless Footage.
Some stories can only be told from above.
Others demand you get close enough to feel them.
SmileyShotsFPV was built on one conviction: that great imagery isn't about equipment — it's about understanding what a moment means to the people living inside it. Whether the camera is 400 feet in the air or inches from someone's face, the intention is always the same. Make it feel real. Make it last.
From the sky to street level — aerial cinematography, event coverage, commercial production, and photography delivered with the same obsessive eye for craft.
Breathtaking footage captured by precision FPV drones. Sweeping landscape reveals, tight architectural flybys, dynamic motion sequences — perspectives that redefine what's possible on screen.
Weddings, corporate gatherings, private celebrations — we capture not just what happened, but how it felt. The quiet glances. The energy. The moments between the moments.
Full-service commercial video — concept through final edit. Brand films, product showcases, and marketing content with the polish your brand deserves.
Properties presented at their finest. Aerial walkthroughs, interior photography, and cinematic tours crafted to make listings stand apart.
High-intensity moments demand cameras that keep up. From extreme sports to competitions, we bring the lens into the action.
Stills that carry weight. Aerial and ground-level photography for events, commercial campaigns, pets, and real estate — each frame composed with cinematic intention.
Five perspectives from across the Pacific Northwest — FPV, aerial, and cinematic work shot from Seattle to the Cascades.
Dogs, people, places — every frame composed with the same cinematic intention as the motion work.
I'm a filmmaker and aerial cinematographer based in the Pacific Northwest — obsessed with the intersection of technology and human storytelling. What started as a deep passion for FPV flight evolved into something broader: a complete creative vision that spans the sky, the ground, and everything in between.
Every project receives my full creative investment. Whether I'm capturing the quiet intimacy of a wedding ceremony, the sweeping scale of a commercial production, or the raw energy of a live event — the work is only finished when it moves people the way the moment did.
SmileyShotsFPV is more than aerial videography. It's a commitment to imagery that earns its place on screen.
Real feedback from real people — every project is a chance to earn trust and deliver something worth talking about.
Working with Rory completely changed how I think about event documentation. The footage didn't just show what happened — it captured how the whole day felt. Our family watches the film all the time.
The aerial shots alone were worth every penny. Our listing sold faster than anything comparable in the area. The visual quality was in a completely different league from what we'd been using.
We needed a brand film that felt authentic, not corporate. Rory nailed it on the first pass. The FPV footage of our facility gave us something none of our competitors have.
I booked Rory for photos of my dog and honestly didn't expect much — but the portraits he delivered were gallery-quality. He has this patience and eye for the exact right moment. Can't recommend him enough.
