Beyond All Media shoots real estate photography in Columbia, SC and across the Midlands: listing photos, real estate video, drone aerials, 3D tours and floor plans. Most of our work is residential, for listing agents, agent teams, builders and developers, and we also shoot commercial space, new construction progress and business portraits. A listing agent in Lexington, a builder in Blythewood and a business owner on Assembly Street all get the same packages and the same delivery standard.
That standard is a clock we work to on every order: photos the next morning, and video in 1 to 2 days with Beyond Basic and in 2 to 3 days with Beyond Enhanced and Beyond All, with Sunday not counted. Those are targets, not a guarantee. BAM keeps the media and the client gets a marketing license, so you can use the work to sell, lease and promote the property or the business.
What we shoot
- Listing photography and video, in four packages
- Drone and aerial
- 3D tours and floor plans
- Commercial and construction progress photography
Packages and add-ons | Our delivery standard
Agents, builders and businesses in Columbia
Listing agents and teams book the standard listing package and want it back before the first showing weekend. Builders and developers book us for model homes, finished spec homes and progress documentation, where the same site is photographed at each stage. Commercial brokers and property managers book us for vacant retail, office and flex space, and for rentals. Business owners book us for the space they work in and portraits of the people in it. Not sure which package fits? Call and we will tell you what to order.
The places we shoot
Three rivers set the map here. The Broad and the Saluda meet at Columbia to form the Congaree, with West Columbia and Cayce across the water from downtown. On the city side, the Vista's old warehouses now hold lofts, offices, galleries and restaurants, and the older homes in Shandon and around Five Points have tight rooms and mixed light that decide how we shoot. Forest Acres has established homes on mature lots.
West and north, Lexington and Irmo are family neighborhoods where pools, bonus rooms and big yards reward a wide exterior and an aerial. Chapin and the Lake Murray shoreline bring waterfront homes, docks and lake access, which sell on the view and the water, so the light matters more than usual. Blythewood and Elgin bring a lot of new construction. Newberry has a historic downtown, and Prosperity and Gilbert are small towns where more of the listing is land. We plan each shoot around what the property is actually selling.
Drone work and airspace
Drone work around Columbia needs a check before it is promised. Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) sits in Lexington County, next to Cayce and West Columbia, and the airspace around it is controlled. Fort Jackson, the Army training post on the city's east side, has restricted airspace of its own. Some addresses need FAA authorization, and approval is not guaranteed. We fly under FAA Part 107 rules and check airspace for the exact address before every flight, so send it early and we will tell you what is realistic before you plan around aerials.

Questions from Columbia clients
Can you fly a drone near Columbia Metropolitan Airport or Fort Jackson?
Those are two different checks. CAE has controlled airspace, so some addresses in Cayce and West Columbia need FAA authorization first, and approval is not guaranteed. Fort Jackson has restricted airspace of its own. We fly under FAA Part 107 rules and check the exact address before every flight. Send it when you book, and we will tell you early whether to plan on aerials or ground photos.
How do you photograph a Lake Murray waterfront home?
Waterfront sells on the water, the dock and the view, so we plan the shoot around the light and the lake, not just the rooms. That usually means exterior frames from the lawn and the dock, interiors with the windows balanced so the lake shows, and aerials where airspace allows. Tell us when the dock and yard will be clear and we will book the best window.
Can you shoot a new build in Lexington or Blythewood before the landscaping is in?
Yes. Builders often book us before sod and plantings are finished, and we shoot the home as it stands, with angles and light that favor the finished work. A gray sky can be replaced in editing. For a long build, we can come back at each stage so the project has a clean record from slab to final. Tell us your sale or draw schedule when you book.
