Complete property photography, aerial drone media, video tours, floor plans and 3D virtual tours for estate agents, developers and private sellers.
Based in County Galway, OpenÉire Studios provides listing-ready property media throughout Galway and across Connacht.
One carefully planned visit gives you professionally edited ground photography and, depending on your package, aerial drone stills, a measured floor plan and an interactive 3D tour. Pro and Premium include One combined 4K property film — 60–90 sec ground footage + 60–90 sec aerial footage (approx. 2–3 min total), while the vertical social-media video remains separate.
Drone capture subject to weather, airspace and safe operating conditions
Give Every Property Listing a Stronger First Impression
Professional property media helps prospective buyers understand the space, presentation and setting of a property before arranging a viewing.
We capture interiors, exteriors and important selling points with a consistent visual approach. For properties where the site or surroundings matter, aerial drone photography and video provide the wider context that ground-level images cannot show alone.
Your finished media is prepared for use across:
Daft.ie and MyHome.ie
Estate-agency websites
Social-media campaigns
Email marketing
Property brochures
Printed sales materials
Complete Property Media From One Team
Instead of coordinating separate photographers, drone operators and floor-plan providers, you can arrange the complete media package through one booking.
Depending on the selected package, your property shoot may include:
Professionally edited interior and exterior photography
5–8 aerial drone stills in addition to the ground photographs
A measured 2D floor plan
One combined 4K property film — 60–90 sec ground footage + 60–90 sec aerial footage (approx. 2–3 min total)
Vertical 9:16 social-media video
A hosted 3D interactive virtual tour
Commercial marketing rights for the active property listing
Property Photography
We photograph the rooms, exterior areas and features buyers need to understand.
Interior coverage is composed to show the natural layout and flow of the property. Exterior photography captures the building, entrance, gardens, access and other relevant features.
Every selected image is professionally corrected for exposure, colour, perspective and overall consistency before delivery.
The photographs are supplied at full resolution and prepared for both web and print use.
Aerial Drone Photography
Drone stills show how the property relates to its wider site and surroundings.
They are especially useful for:
Detached and rural homes
Properties with significant gardens or land
Waterfront and coastal properties
Farms and agricultural properties
New developments
Properties with separate accommodation or outbuildings
Homes where views and location are important selling points
The Starter, Pro and Premium packages include 5–8 aerial drone stills on top of the stated number of ground photographs.
All aerial work is subject to suitable weather, site access, airspace restrictions and safe operating conditions.
Combined 4K Property Film
One combined 4K property film — 60–90 sec ground footage + 60–90 sec aerial footage (approx. 2–3 min total)
It is delivered as one final property film, not separate full-length ground and aerial films. The included vertical 9:16 social-media video remains a separate deliverable.
Vertical Social-Media Video
The Pro and Premium packages include a vertical 9:16 social-media video prepared for platforms such as:
Instagram Reels
Facebook Reels
TikTok
YouTube Shorts
Additional social-media cuts, alternative formats or extra edits may be arranged for €50.
2D Measured Floor Plans
A measured floor plan helps buyers understand the layout and relationship between rooms.
The floor plan is intended for property-marketing purposes and is supplied as a clear digital asset for listings, websites and brochures.
A measured 2D floor plan is included in the Starter, Pro and Premium packages.
It remains available as a €75 add-on for the Essential package and suitable Custom bookings.
Hosted 3D Virtual Tours
A 3D virtual tour allows prospective buyers to explore the property online and move through the rooms at their own pace.
It can provide useful additional context for remote buyers and help interested parties understand the property before attending a viewing.
A hosted 3D virtual tour costs €150 as an add-on and is included in the Premium package.

How the Property-Shoot Process Works
1. Send Us the Property Details
Choose your preferred package and provide the property address, property type, approximate scope, preferred date, access information and any features that may affect coverage.
The enquiry form also allows you to describe secondary accommodation, outbuildings, site size and other relevant property features.
2. We Review and Confirm the Shoot
We review the property brief, location, package, access requirements and any relevant airspace considerations.
The shoot date and scope are then confirmed with you, normally within 24 hours. Requested dates are not final until confirmed.
3. We Capture and Edit the Media
Floor-plan scanning, photography, drone media, video and virtual-tour capture are completed according to the selected package and agreed scope.
The property must be cleaned, staged and ready at the agreed arrival time. Significant preparation delays may reduce the available coverage, require rescheduling or result in an agreed additional-time charge.
4. You Receive Listing-Ready Files
The final media is supplied through a secure download link.
The files are prepared for property portals, agency websites, social media, email campaigns and brochures.
Qualifications, safety and insurance
Qualified, Insured and Safety-Conscious Drone Operations
Professional aerial property media involves more than launching a drone and taking photographs. Each flight must account for the location, surrounding people and property, airspace restrictions, weather and the operating limits of the aircraft.
OpenÉire Studios combines Irish Aviation Authority operator registration, EASA remote-pilot competency, Safe Pass construction-safety training and specialist commercial drone insurance.
IAA Registered
OpenÉire Studios is registered as a drone operator with the Irish Aviation Authority. Before a flight, we review the property location, relevant airspace and applicable operating restrictions.
EASA A1/A3 and A2
Our remote pilot holds EASA Open Category A1/A3 and A2 competency certificates, covering remote-pilot responsibilities, flight safety, operating limitations and awareness of risk around other people.
Safe Pass
Safe Pass construction-safety training supports work on suitable active construction and development sites, subject to client permission, site-specific induction and the safety requirements of the principal contractor.
Coverdrone Insured
OpenÉire Studios carries specialist commercial drone insurance through Coverdrone, including public-liability cover of up to €6.5 million per occurrence.
Drone coverage is completed only where the flight can be carried out safely and lawfully. Evidence of relevant insurance and remote-pilot credentials can be supplied where reasonably required for a commercial or construction-site booking.
Weather and Drone Operations
Aerial work is planned around weather conditions, airspace restrictions, site conditions, safe operating limits and suitable property access.
Where weather or safety conditions prevent drone operations, OpenÉire Studios will offer one reschedule at no additional cost.
Further reschedules may incur a fee.
Property Photography in Galway and Across Connacht
County Galway is our primary service area.
We provide property photography and drone media for suitable listings throughout Galway, including Galway City and towns and rural areas across the county.
We also travel throughout Connacht, including County Mayo, County Roscommon, County Sligo and County Leitrim.
Standard package pricing applies within 40 kilometres of our base. A travel supplement of €0.50 per kilometre applies beyond that radius.
For multiple properties or geographically grouped shoots, request a Custom quotation.
Commercial Marketing Licence
Every package includes a commercial marketing licence for the specific property listing.
The licence permits the booking agent or client to use the delivered media across property portals, the agency website, social media, email campaigns and printed brochures.
The licence is non-transferable.
It ends when the property is sold, let or withdrawn from the market, or after two years—whichever happens first.
The licence belongs to the booking agent for that specific instruction. Another agent cannot reuse the media if they subsequently take over the listing without arranging a separate shoot or licensing agreement with OpenÉire Studios.
