Request a QuoteEvery project gets the same approach: clean composition, fast turnaround, and imagery that actually moves the needle for the people paying for it. Below is what most clients hire EVAN7 for.
Aerial photo and video for residential listings, commercial property, ranches, estates, and large land parcels. Built for agents who want their listings to stand out the moment a buyer scrolls past.
Aerial documentation for vineyards, estates, and agricultural properties across Paso Robles, Edna Valley, and the Central Coast. Built to showcase terroir, scale, and the work behind the wine.
Recurring aerial documentation for active construction sites. Built for general contractors, developers, and project managers who need clear visual records of progress over time.
Aerial mapping and visual inspections for properties that are hard to access, large in scale, or need documentation from above. Built for owners, managers, and operators who need real data, fast.
Aerial content for hotels, resorts, restaurants, tour operators, and Central Coast brands. Built for businesses that need recurring marketing footage with consistent quality and on-brand framing.
Not everything fits a category. EVAN7 takes on one-off creative briefs, brand partnerships, expedition documentation, and specialty work where aerial imagery serves a specific story or purpose.
EVAN7 is operated by Evan Nelson — an FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot based in San Luis Obispo, California. The work is direct, professional, and grounded in years of experience selling, building, and serving businesses across the Central Coast.
Every project is flown personally, planned thoroughly, and delivered with the kind of care that comes from running your own name on a business. No outsourced flying. No subcontracted pilots. The person on your property is the person who answers your call.
Outside of aerial work, Evan dives with the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Underwater Search and Recovery Team — a side of operations that demands precision under pressure and informs how every flight is planned and executed.
EVAN7 operates throughout San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties — from the wine country in Paso Robles down to the coastal communities of Pismo and beyond. Most projects are handled same-week. Travel to other parts of California is available for larger briefs.

Pricing depends on the scope — square footage of the property, deliverables, turnaround time, and whether the project is one-time or recurring. Most real estate shoots start around $400. Winery and commercial work typically ranges $800–$2,500. Recurring contracts for construction or hospitality clients are quoted monthly. Every project gets a clear flat quote before any flying happens.
Most photo deliverables land within 48 hours of the shoot. Video and edited packages typically take 3–5 business days. Rush turnaround is available for time-sensitive listings or campaigns. Every project includes a clear delivery date set at booking.
Yes. EVAN7 operates under FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification and carries professional liability insurance for every flight. Certificates of insurance can be provided on request for property owners, general contractors, or clients with specific compliance requirements.
When a project falls inside controlled airspace, EVAN7 handles all FAA LAANC authorization requests in advance. Most of San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast is open airspace with no special clearance required, but flights near airports or sensitive zones are coordinated and documented properly.
Standard delivery is a private gallery of finished, color-corrected, high-resolution images and any contracted video files. Files come ready for MLS, marketing, print, and social media. Raw footage is available on request for clients with their own editing teams.
Most projects can be scheduled within the same week. Weather plays a real role, especially in coastal areas, so building in flexibility helps. For listings with hard deadlines, a 1–2 week lead time is ideal. Recurring construction or hospitality clients are scheduled on standing intervals.
Yes. While the core service area is San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties, EVAN7 takes on projects throughout California and select destinations beyond for the right brief. Travel and lodging are quoted transparently for any project that requires it.
