KONAHReal estate photography in Bethesda, MD.
New custom homes where older ones stood, classic 1930s to 1950s colonials and Tudors, and condos steps from downtown Bethesda. These are high-stakes listings and they need high-end media. About 45 to 70 minutes from Woodbridge.
Bethesda neighborhoods we shoot.
New construction at the top of the market.
A new Bethesda build is sold on finishes: the kitchen, the primary bath, the ceiling details, the lower-level bar. That means more photos, a cinematic film and detail frames of the work. Signature Luxury ($895) covers it, and a large-home 3D tour ($250) lets buyers check every level.
Timing the season.
On streets lined with flowering trees, spring bloom usually arrives in late March or April. If a listing is close to that window, shooting the exterior in bloom is worth planning around. The same goes for fall color on the wooded lots in Bradley Hills. Ask us about shooting exteriors on a separate day if timing matters.
Drone photography in Bethesda.
Bethesda sits inside the DC Flight Restricted Zone, 17.3 miles around Reagan National in our airspace check. Drone is still available: our Part 107 pilot files the FAA/TSA authorization before the flight, so book a few business days ahead and we handle the paperwork.
Chevy Chase is in the same ring, and the same lead time applies. Pair the aerials with twilight, film and 3D tours for the full story.

Bethesda questions.
Can you fly a drone in Bethesda?
Yes. Downtown Bethesda is inside the DC Flight Restricted Zone (17.3 miles around Reagan National) in our check, so our pilot files the FAA/TSA authorization before the flight (book a few business days ahead), and Chevy Chase is the same.
Can you shoot the exterior on a different day?
Yes. If the trees are about to bloom or the weather is bad, tell us and we'll talk through splitting the shoot.
Do you shoot new construction for builders?
Yes, from a single spec home to a builder's whole portfolio.
Is there a travel fee to Bethesda?
No. Montgomery County is inside our service area.
