River Event Filming at Wandsworth Reach

Specialist over-water river event filming at Wandsworth Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Our river event filming team is authorised and equipped for operations at Wandsworth Reach. We work for towage operators, passenger vessel companies, civil contractors and production teams. The river rewards crews who know it; a stranger to this water loses the shot to the tide.

Every flight at Wandsworth Reach is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.

Coordination with the Port of London Authority is standard on every flight at Wandsworth Reach. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. Our river risk assessments are written to be read, not to satisfy a filing requirement.

Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. We can hold a provisional tide window while you confirm internally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fly at night or in low light on the river?

Yes. Night and blue-hour work over the Thames is something we do regularly, with the lighting conditions and additional risk factored into the plan. Twilight often gives the strongest results on the tideway.

What deliverables can you provide from Wandsworth Reach?

Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.

What does river work at Wandsworth 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.
