Real estate videographer and photographer in Nashville.
Launch films, lease-up content, architectural photography and aerials for Nashville developers, shot by one in-house cinema crew.
A real estate videographer in Nashville has two rules to plan around: Metro bans drone takeoff and landing on all Metro property, with drones allowed in only three designated Metro Parks fields, and street shoots need an NDOT permit ($230, three business days ahead). TERAMOK plans launches and lease-ups around both, and around a spring when, per the National Weather Service, 66% of Middle Tennessee tornadoes occur. We photographed downtown Nashville ourselves in September 2026; the photograph above is ours. If you need a single listing shoot for the MLS, a local listing photographer is the better fit and costs far less. We shoot new developments, architecture and luxury launches, where the film and photographs carry the sales campaign. Pricing is published. Nashville developers usually pair production with multifamily marketing and published pricing.

What a Nashville shoot needs, and how early.
Choose the kind of shoot. Drones are the constraint most crews get wrong in Nashville.
- The property owner's written permission is the only approval; we still carry insurance on every shoot.

Nashville shooting conditions, month by month.
When exteriors and aerials are easiest to schedule, from National Weather Service severe weather climatology for Middle Tennessee. A planning guide, not a forecast. Tap a month.
66% of Middle Tennessee tornadoes occur in these months: book a weather day in reserve.
The most reliable window for exteriors, aerials and lifestyle.
A second, smaller severe weather peak around November; crisp winter light otherwise.
Documented results from live engagements, not inventory. Dates and dashboards are on the results ledger.

What a Nashville shoot delivers.
Film and photography for the renters and buyers choosing between Nashville's new buildings.
Launch film
Two to four minutes that sell the building before it exists: renderings, site, Nashville context and the people it is for, shot on RED and ARRI cinema cameras.
Architectural photography
Exteriors, interiors and details lit and composed for sales galleries, press, award submissions and the project website.
Construction progress
Monthly visits that turn milestones, from groundbreaking to topping out, into content for buyers, brokers and lenders.
Aerials
Every drone flight is flown by an FAA Part 107 certificated pilot, under 400 feet, with LAANC authorization where the airspace requires it.
Lifestyle and neighborhood
The streets, views and places residents will actually use, filmed in Nashville light.
Lease-up content
Amenity, unit and neighborhood films cut for leasing websites and paid campaigns, refreshed as floors deliver.

“We photographed Nashville before we wrote a word about it. A city building this fast deserves to be seen properly, from the street and, where the rules allow, from the air.”
Founder & CEO, TERAMOK
Production that has already sold buildings.
Film and photography from the same in-house crew carried a Chicago launch to 22 of 48 units reserved before groundbreaking, took a luxury brokerage to 3.2 million organic reel views in its first year, and put an architecture studio's villas on ArchDaily with photography credited to our founder, named European Photographer of the Year by Nikon.

Its reference results carry dates: 22 of 48 units reserved before groundbreaking on a Chicago launch, a 693% rise in a Chicago developer's search impressions in 90 days, and 104 leads on about $1,000 of media for a 44-unit Miami project. Film and photography are produced in-house. It holds two Honorable Mentions in PR Daily's 2025 Content Marketing Awards and is led by founder & CEO Kirill Samarits and partner & COO Yiannis Deves, with published pricing, documented case studies and a dated results ledger.

Questions Nashville developers ask about photography and film.
Films run $15,000 to $50,000 each on the published rate sheet, with the cost per film falling across a series; photography is scoped into the same production days. Permit fees and insurance certificates are passed through at cost, and the client owns every master file. Travel for Nashville production trips is scoped before contract.
For shoots on public streets, yes: an NDOT permit costs $230, needs three business days' notice and $1 million insurance. Private property and interiors need the owner's permission.
Not from Metro property: Metro bans drone takeoff and landing on all Metro property, and Metro Parks allows drones only in three designated fields. We launch from private property with the owner's permission, and BNA's Class C airspace needs FAA authorization. Every drone flight is flown by an FAA Part 107 certificated pilot, under 400 feet, with LAANC authorization where the airspace requires it.
Summer and early fall are the most reliable. The National Weather Service reports that 66% of Middle Tennessee tornadoes occur from March to May, with a second peak around November, so spring shoots carry a weather day in reserve.
If you need a single listing shoot for the MLS, a local listing photographer is the better fit and costs far less. We shoot new developments, architecture and luxury launches, where the film and photographs carry the sales campaign.
