Could not have been happier with the final product. Stefan's photos show cohesion with superb lighting. His photos paint a story and that's exactly what I was looking for. He knows which angle to take the shot, and makes sure each photo compliments its space. The price is very competitive and his professionalism is much appreciated. I highly recommend.
Real Estate Video in Elk Grove
Cinematic real estate video that closes showings into offers for Elk Grove and Sacramento County listings, brands, and projects.
Elk Grove, Sacramento County
Why Elk Grove listings need real estate video done right.
Elk Grove real estate video is most useful on Sheldon acreage and Laguna West lakefront-adjacent listings where the static carousel can't tell the lifestyle story. Sheldon parcels need aerial-led opens that establish parcel size and outbuilding context. Laguna West listings benefit from aerial push moves over the lake at golden hour. The mid-tier Laguna Ridge and Stonelake listings are typically standard-package shoots where video is a value-add rather than a default. STEFDPHOTO's video work in Elk Grove is paired with the photo shoot on the same visit whenever possible.

The Elk Grove coverage map.
Elk Grove sits on flatter terrain than Folsom or Rocklin, which means aerial coverage emphasizes neighborhood context (parks, schools, lakes) rather than topography. The Laguna West lake reflects beautifully at twilight and is one of the most under-used aerial hero opportunities in the south metro.

The work, in Elk Grove
How STEFDPHOTO shoots Elk Grove.
STEFDPHOTO's Elk Grove workflow optimizes for time-on-site because the volume tier expects competitive turnaround. A standard mid-size home is shot in roughly seventy-five to ninety minutes including an exterior walk-around. Sheldon and Stonelake listings get longer scheduling windows because the parcel sizes and water adjacency justify aerial coverage and twilight returns. Laguna Ridge and Franklin Reserve listings tend to be standard-package deliverables with the standard photo set and an optional aerial add-on.

Real Estate Video
The deliverable.
Standard delivery is a sixty-to-ninety-second cinematic walkthrough in 4K, vertical and horizontal aspect-ratio cuts, with music sync and a clean export at multiple bitrates for socials, MLS, YouTube, and the listing's website. Extended cuts and agent-voiceover edits are scheduled as separate deliverables on the same shoot day. Branded intros (your team's logo, opening title card, closing call-to-action) are included on the extended package. Raw footage is available on request. Every video uses the same cinematic-color pipeline as STEFDPHOTO's commercial work, which means the files look like a brand reel rather than a phone walkthrough.
- 4K capture, cinematic-color pipeline
- 60-90 second standard cut
- Music-matched edit
- Vertical and horizontal exports
- Aerial reveal moves
- Optional extended cut with voiceover

Elk Grove questions
Frequently asked about real estate video in Elk Grove.
What is the difference between the standard and extended video?
Standard is sixty to ninety seconds, music-matched, and built for socials and MLS. Extended adds agent voiceover, branded intro and outro, and a full property narrative arc. Standard works for most volume listings; extended is the choice for luxury and full-marketing-campaign listings.
Can I get vertical exports for Reels and short-form social?
Yes, every video ships with vertical and horizontal cuts as standard. Square 1:1 is available on request.
Do you include aerial footage in the video?
Aerial coverage is available as part of the cut where the property warrants it. Aerial scheduling is handled as part of the same shoot day whenever weather and airspace allow.
How long does a video shoot take on site?
Forty-five to ninety minutes on top of the photo shoot, depending on the home's size and how many cinematic moments the cut requires.
Do you cover the Cosumnes River Preserve in establishing aerials for south Elk Grove listings?
Yes, when the listing is close enough to make the preserve a meaningful proximity story, an establishing aerial that places the home in context with the preserve is part of the cut. Aerial work runs.

The work earns repeat business.
What a breath of fresh air Stefan is! A true professional. Always on time, seems to go anywhere I need him to, and always makes the homes he photographs for me look amazing. Started out using him for headshots, but now I will utilize his services for everything. You owe it to yourself to check him out. You will not be disappointed.
We've been using Stefan exclusively for a long time now. He's punctual, reasonably priced and the quality of his photographs are outstanding. We specialize in homes on acreage and homes with views and he's always able to capture the essence of these special properties. Our clients love his work and the results speak for themselves with hundreds of sold homes.
Working with Stefan is always a pleasure from start to finish. I cannot say enough good things. Communication from the beginning, to timeliness, not to mention fitting me in literally whenever I need him. He says 24 hour turnaround but often I have my photos back sooner, which means everything when putting up a listing. His photos are always edited so nicely and my clients have had so many good things to say about his photos and videos. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.
Stefan is an amazing photographer. Not only does he make every project look high end but he is also very kind and professional. I had a home I remodeled featured in a prominent publication and I know the only reason is because of the amazing photos he took.
