SEBS Aerial
Toronto · GTA · Ontario

Aerial photography in Toronto.

Sharp, certified drone photography and video for real estate, construction, events, and brands — captured across Toronto and the GTA by a Transport Canada Advanced RPAS pilot who spent thirty years on the ground before flying over it.

Most aerial photography falls down in one of two places: the pilot can fly but doesn't understand what a client actually needs to see, or they understand the subject but can't legally or safely get the shot. SEBS Aerial sits in the overlap. Thirty years in construction — painter to site superintendent on major Toronto contracts — means the frame is composed around what a buyer, a stakeholder, or a project manager is looking for, not just what looks dramatic.

Every flight is flown under Transport Canada Advanced RPAS certification with $2M liability coverage, so the work holds up whether it's a downtown condo listing, a live construction site, or an event with people below. You get edited stills and video delivered through a private link, raw files on request, and a pilot who treats your schedule and your neighbours as part of the job.

What we photograph

One operation, one standard, across the work Toronto clients ask for most.

01 · Real estate

Property & real estate

Exterior aerials, lot and neighbourhood context, and walk-through video for residential and commercial listings. MLS-ready stills and short social edits.

02 · Construction

Construction & sites

Scheduled progress photography, roof and façade condition imagery, and stakeholder-ready site overviews captured the same way every visit.

03 · Events

Events & weddings

Aerial coverage that captures what a ground photographer can't — coordinated with your existing team and discreet on the day.

04 · Brand

Corporate & brand

Cinematic aerial content for property, product, and location marketing. Short edits, raw files, or full creative direction.

05 · Cinematography

Aerial cinematography

Standalone cinematography for documentary, promotional, and creative projects. Storyboarded shoots and on-the-fly capture both welcome.

06 · Inspection

Inspection imagery

High-resolution visual inspection of roofs, façades, and hard-to-reach structures — crews stay safely on the ground.

Why SEBS Aerial

Certification and insurance are the price of entry for commercial aerial photography in Toronto — the difference is judgment. Knowing when a shot needs golden-hour light, when a construction client needs the same angle month over month, and when airspace near Pearson or Billy Bishop means the flight has to be planned days ahead.

Aerial photography in Toronto — FAQ

How much does aerial photography cost in Toronto?

Most shoots are quoted per project rather than a fixed rate, because a real-estate listing and a recurring construction flyover need very different time on site and in the edit. Send the location, what you need captured, and your timeline, and you'll get a written quote back within one business day. Pay-as-you-fly, no retainer.

Do you need a licence to fly a drone in Toronto?

Yes. Commercial drone work in Canada requires Transport Canada RPAS certification, and flights in busy Toronto airspace usually require the Advanced certificate plus airspace authorization. SEBS Aerial holds Advanced RPAS and ROC-A certification and carries $2M liability coverage on every flight.

What areas do you cover?

Toronto and the wider GTA are the standard service area — including Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, Oakville and Pickering. Southern Ontario and beyond are available with travel quoted in advance.

How quickly are photos and video delivered?

Edited stills and video are typically delivered within a few business days of the flight through a private link, with raw files available on request. Time-sensitive real-estate listings can be prioritized — mention the deadline when you request a quote.
