Thames Aerial Imagery in Teddington
Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Teddington for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Flying in Teddington means working over moving water, tidal range and live vessel traffic. Both riverbank and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the shot. Early starts are normal here, because the best water and the best light rarely coincide with office hours.
We survey the Teddington bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. Capture is in RAW throughout, leaving headroom for grading or photogrammetric processing. Where bank access is restricted, we scout the approach before the crew and kit arrive.
Riparian landowners and pier operators in Teddington are contacted ahead of the date. Failsafe return-to-home points account for drift, tide and a moving launch platform. Moorings, houseboats and riverside residents are given notice where the operation warrants it.
Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you film moving vessels in Teddington?
Yes. Vessel tracking is a large part of our river work, from towage and workboat operations to passenger craft. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and line of sight while the camera operator holds the shot.
Are you insured for flying over water?
Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.
How much notice do you need for river work in Teddington?
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.
