Real estate photography and video in Chilliwack

Chilliwack is the furthest east we shoot regularly. Mountain backdrop, a lot of acreage, and a price band where a full media package still makes sense on a family home. Book with enough notice for the drive and the whole day works.

The furthest east we shoot regularly

Chilliwack is the furthest east we shoot regularly, and that is the one thing worth being straight about. We shoot here often and are glad to, but a Chilliwack booking wants notice rather than a same-week call, because the day has to be built around it rather than squeezed.

What makes it worth the trip is the combination of backdrop and value. The mountains behind the city are a genuine feature of an exterior set here in a way they are not further west, where they are further off and more often hazed. And the price band is such that a full media package still makes sense on an ordinary family home, which is not true everywhere in the valley.

Acreage, and what it needs

A large share of what we are asked to shoot here is acreage or semi-rural property, and the requirements are consistent: parcel size, access, outbuildings, and how the land actually lies. Those are aerial questions. A ground level set on a ten acre parcel shows a house and gives no sense at all of what surrounds it.

For the family homes closer in, the usual package of photography, a floor plan and a vertical cut does the job, and the mountain backdrop means the exterior frames are worth timing properly rather than shooting whenever we arrive.

What we need from you

Two things make a Chilliwack booking work. The first is the address early, so we can check the drive and the light together rather than discovering on the morning that the property faces the wrong way for the hour we booked. The second is an honest description of the parcel, because a listing described as a house on a large lot and a listing described as five acres want different equipment in the vehicle.

Where a property has a mountain outlook worth having, tell us which side of the house it is on. It changes the order we shoot in and occasionally the day.

Asked in Chilliwack

Local questions, local answers.

Do you charge extra for the drive to Chilliwack?
Travel is quoted with the booking rather than hidden in the package price, and it is usually smaller than agents expect on a full-day or multi-listing booking.
How much notice do you need for a Chilliwack shoot?
More than for the western valley. The drive has to be built into the day, so a few days rather than a same-week call gives us the best chance of the slot you want.
Is the mountain backdrop worth timing the exteriors for?
Yes. It is clearer here than further west, and an exterior set shot when the mountains are visible is materially stronger than one shot into haze.

We are usually in the area anyway.
