Video Background

Appalachian Aerials is a professional drone photography and aerial video company capturing the Blue Ridge and Appalachian region from a perspective most people never get to see. As a subsidiary of Digital South Media Group, we combine cinematic visuals with practical marketing strategy—helping destinations, businesses, and communities stand out with stunning aerial media that’s built to perform online.

We provide high-quality aerial photos, drone video, and short-form cinematic reels for cities, towns, tourism groups, real estate, lodging, attractions, events, and local businesses. Whether you need a quick set of polished aerials for your website or a full destination highlight video, we deliver clean, vibrant visuals designed for web, social media, and digital advertising.

A key focus of Appalachian Aerials is producing aerial media for the Mega Travel Hub website BlueRidgeMountainTravel.com—a growing platform that showcases hundreds of mountain towns and communities from Maryland to Georgia. We capture the views that define a place: downtown streets, mountain backdrops, parks, resorts, signature landmarks, and seasonal scenery—creating a consistent library of destination footage that helps travelers discover where to go next.

Why aerial media works

Aerial photos and drone video instantly communicate scale, scenery, and “sense of place.” They help travelers and customers visualize the experience before they arrive—turning curiosity into bookings, visits, and sales. When paired with strong storytelling and strategic placement across web pages, listings, and social content, aerial visuals become one of the fastest ways to elevate your brand and increase engagement.

Service area and approach

Based in the Appalachian region, we travel to capture towns, venues, and landscapes across the Blue Ridge corridor and surrounding areas. Every shoot is planned for lighting, season, and key viewpoints—so the finished content looks natural, timeless, and professional. You’ll receive optimized deliverables for your exact needs: website headers, listing images, YouTube-friendly video, Instagram reels, and vertical ad formats.

Who we work with

We work with destination marketing organizations, chambers of commerce, event organizers, property managers, hospitality groups, builders, real estate teams, restaurants, outdoor attractions, and local brands that want to look world-class online. If your goal is to showcase a location, a property, or an experience—Appalachian Aerials is built for that job.

Appalachian Aerials is a subsidiary of Digital South Media Group, which means your visuals aren’t just beautiful—they’re produced with digital performance in mind. From travel-hub publishing to marketing placement and content strategy, we understand how aerial media should be framed, formatted, and distributed to drive real results.
