Real estate photography in Dumfries & Triangle, VA.
South of Woodbridge, Route 1 runs through one of Virginia's oldest chartered towns and past the main gate of Marine Corps Base Quantico. Listings here range from older homes in the town of Dumfries and ramblers in Triangle to lake lots in Montclair and newer construction at Potomac Shores, all a short hop down I-95 from our office.
Around Dumfries and Triangle.
Orders come in, listings go up fast.
With the base next door, plenty of homes here go on the market on a timeline someone else set, and the sellers may already be packing. We can usually get on the calendar within a couple of days and deliver photos within 24 hours of the shoot. If the house will be empty before it sells, shoot it while it still has furniture, and add a 3D tour ($125) so buyers relocating from out of state can still walk it after the movers leave. Our shoot-day guide is a good one to send sellers who are juggling a move.
Lake lots, forest lots and new builds.
Montclair homes on the water sell on the view from the deck and the walk down to the lake, so we plan those exteriors for soft light and shoot from the shoreline back up to the house. Homes that back onto Prince William Forest Park sell on privacy, and an aerial taken from the listing's own lot shows the tree line that ground photos can't. At Potomac Shores, many resales are recent builds competing with the builder's own models, so a clean, bright set with a measured floor plan ($75) helps a resale hold its own against new construction.
Drone photography in Dumfries & Triangle.
Two things shape aerials here: the Quantico ring along Route 1 and the national park to the west. Triangle is inside the 4-mile Quantico ring in our check, which is military airspace, so our pilot coordinates with the base before shoot day (book with extra lead time), and Potomac Shores, between the base and the river, is in the same position. The town of Dumfries clears every ring in our airspace check, and so does Montclair. Military airspace changes, so for any address near the base the pilot works from the current FAA charts and notices, not just our ring. The park is national park land with its own rules on launching, so we fly from the listing's own property.
Our airspace check, place by place. Drone is available at every one of them. Coordination with the base first: Triangle (4-mile Quantico ring) and Potomac Shores (4-mile Quantico ring). Clear of every ring: Town of Dumfries, Montclair and Prince William Forest Park edge. Every address is checked when you book, and the pilot runs B4UFLY and LAANC on the day of every flight.
| Place | Our airspace check | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Town of Dumfries | Clear | Outside every ring we check. The pilot still runs B4UFLY and LAANC on the day. |

Dumfries & Triangle questions.
Can you fly a drone near Quantico?
Usually, with coordination: Quantico is military airspace, so the pilot coordinates with the base before shoot day and you should book with extra lead time. Triangle is inside the 4-mile Quantico ring in our check, which is military airspace, so our pilot coordinates with the base before shoot day (book with extra lead time). Montclair clears every ring in our airspace check. Every address is checked when you book, and the pilot confirms the current military airspace on the day.
My seller leaves on orders next week. How fast can you shoot?
Usually within a couple of days of booking, with photos in your portal within 24 hours of the shoot. Add a 3D tour at the same visit so the home keeps showing after it's empty.
Do you shoot lakefront homes in Montclair?
Yes: the view from the main rooms, the deck, the shoreline, and aerials of the lake and the lot.
Is there a travel fee to Dumfries or Triangle?
No. Both are in Prince William County, our home county, inside our no-travel-fee area.
