Thames Aerial Imagery at Gravesend Reach
Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Gravesend Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
If your project sits at Gravesend Reach, we can plan and fly it with the river permissions already in place. Our pilots hold marine radio and work directly alongside skippers during the flight. Tell us the deadline early, because the tide table, not the diary, usually sets the date.
We check tide state, river traffic and bridge clearances before fixing a date at Gravesend Reach. Capture is in RAW throughout, leaving headroom for grading or photogrammetric processing. Kit is checked ashore before anything is committed over water.
PLA notification, harbour master liaison and VTS contact for Gravesend Reach are handled in-house. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Send us the dates and the shot list and we will tell you which tides are viable. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does river work at Gravesend Reach cost?
It depends on tide windows, whether vessel support is needed and what you want delivered, so we quote per project. Send the brief and the deadline and we will come back with a fixed price and the viable tides.
How do you manage wind and weather on the river?
The Thames corridor funnels wind and can be considerably rougher than the surrounding streets. We work to maritime forecasts and fly platforms rated to around 25 knots, so a marginal day does not automatically cost you the shoot.
How much notice do you need for river work at Gravesend Reach?
More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
