How much does real estate photography cost in Delray Beach?

Delray shoots start at $199 for the Basic package under 1,500 square feet and price up by square footage. The Standard package, which adds drone aerials and video, starts at $399. There is no travel fee inside Palm Beach County and no deposit when you book by phone — phone bookings are invoiced after gallery approval; online: 20% deposit, balance after delivery.

How do you photograph a historic-district house?

By showing the original detail rather than working around it. Wood siding, porches and paned windows are the reason these houses cost what they do, so we bracket the exterior to hold both the sunlit lawn and the shaded porch, and shoot interiors at honest focal lengths so the room sizes are not oversold.

Can you photograph the clubhouse in a 55+ community?

Usually yes, but it has to be arranged. The western age-restricted communities typically clear vendors at a guardhouse and require the clubhouse, courts and pool to be booked or escorted separately. Those amenities are a large part of what sells the listing, so we ask for permission at booking rather than skipping them.

Can you fly a drone over my Delray listing?

In most of the city, after a grid check. Approved altitudes vary by grid, and the beachside strip and the western communities carry different constraints, so every flight runs on a LAANC authorisation filed for that address. We confirm before quoting drone and tell you if the answer is no.

Will the Ocean Boulevard building let a photographer in?

Yes, once the vendor paperwork is filed. We send the association a certificate of insurance naming it as additional insured when the shoot is booked and reserve the service elevator where one is required. Most oceanfront buildings want a day or more of notice.

Are the photos ready for BeachesMLS?

Yes. Every gallery ships as files sized and named for BeachesMLS, which covers Palm Beach and Broward, plus a full-resolution set for print and portals that accept larger images.

When is the best time of year to shoot a Delray listing?

Shoot for the season you expect to sell in. A lot of Delray buying is done in winter by people shopping from the Northeast in autumn, so a listing going live in October benefits from an exterior that does not look like a hot, hazy August afternoon. If the timing is tight we prioritise the exterior slot and deliver interiors alongside.

Do you have a studio in Delray Beach?

Estate Shutter FL is a mobile studio. We travel to Delray Beach; there is no walk-in studio address in Delray Beach. Booking, approval and delivery all happen online or by phone.

What we shoot in Delray Beach

Walkability is the product

A Delray listing within a few blocks of Atlantic Avenue is selling the walk as much as the house. That is genuinely hard to photograph, which is why the aerial matters here: one frame showing the property, the street grid and the distance to the avenue does what ten interior shots cannot.

Historic districts and original detail

The Marina, Del-Ida Park, Old School Square and Nassau Street districts carry protected character — wood siding, porches, small paned windows, mature planting. A gallery that lights and frames those features sells the house; one that shoots around them sells a small old building.

Beachside condominiums

The Ocean Boulevard buildings behave like any other oceanfront condominium: vendor paperwork, elevator reservations, amenity decks and a buyer comparing buildings as well as units. East-facing units shoot at sunrise, not in the afternoon.

55+ communities west of I-95

The large age-restricted communities are a substantial share of Delray inventory and they sell on lifestyle — clubhouse, courts, golf, pool. Photographing the amenities usually needs a separate permission, and skipping them leaves the listing half told.

Shooting in Delray Beach: what is actually different

Delray is three markets in one municipality — historic downtown, beachside condominium and western age-restricted community — and each has its own access rules, its own best hour and its own buyer. These are the constraints that actually move a shoot.

Historic-district exteriors need the right light, not the right lens

Wood siding, deep porches and mature canopy make for high-contrast facades that a single exposure cannot hold. We bracket exteriors and shoot late in the afternoon where the street orientation allows, so the porch reads as shelter rather than as a black hole.

Downtown parking and vendor access

The blocks around Atlantic Avenue have limited street parking that fills through the day and, in season, fills early. We schedule downtown shoots in the morning so there is somewhere to put a vehicle within carrying distance of the front door.

Oceanfront buildings want paperwork

The Ocean Boulevard condominiums ask for a certificate of insurance naming the association as additional insured, frequently with a service-elevator reservation and restricted vendor hours. We file the COI when the shoot is booked rather than negotiating at the desk.

Age-restricted communities have two gates and a clubhouse calendar

The western 55+ communities clear vendors at a guardhouse and often require the clubhouse and amenity areas to be booked or escorted separately, sometimes outside resident hours. Since the amenities are a large part of the value, we arrange that at booking instead of dropping it.

Airspace differs across the city

The beachside strip and the western communities sit under different airspace constraints, and approved altitudes vary by grid. Aerial work is flown by FAA Part 107 certificated remote pilots; LAANC authorisation is filed by the pilot before every controlled-airspace flight. We confirm the grid for the exact address before quoting drone rather than assuming a low-rise city is automatically clear.

Season, storms and tides

Delray’s population swells from roughly December through April, which changes parking, beach crowding and how many units are occupied. From June through November, storms commonly build through the early afternoon, so morning exteriors are the default. Autumn king tides, published in NOAA’s tide predictions, affect beach-level and Intracoastal-edge frames from September to November.

Services we shoot in Delray Beach

Drone photography in Delray Beach

The aerial is how a Delray listing proves proximity — to Atlantic Avenue, to the beach, to the Intracoastal — which is the thing the price is actually based on. Flights run on LAANC authorisations filed for the address, with the beachside strip and the western communities carrying different constraints. We confirm before quoting.

Drone photography

3D virtual tours in Delray Beach

Delray sells to a lot of buyers from the Northeast who are shopping from a distance in autumn and buying in winter. A scanned tour with room measurements settles the questions a historic house raises — real room sizes, ceiling heights, how the additions connect — before anyone books a flight south.

Video walkthroughs

A horizontal walkthrough for the listing page and a vertical cut for social, from one visit. In Delray the walkthrough is worth beginning on the street, because the neighbourhood and the walk are a real part of the offer and no interior sequence conveys them.

Twilight exteriors

A lit porch and warm windows on a historic Delray cottage at blue hour is the most characterful lead image in this market, and it is the frame that separates a $500,000 listing from the eight others posted that week. We arrive early to set the lighting and work the blue hour rather than arriving into it.

Twilight photography

Virtual staging

Estate sales are common in the 55+ communities and renovation flips are common downtown, so a lot of Delray inventory shows empty or half-furnished. Virtual staging on the main rooms restores scale. Listing images must accurately depict the property, so every staged file is labelled and the unstaged original supplied.

Delray Beach photography challenges we solve

Every Delray Beach listing is different. Here's how we make each property's strengths impossible to miss.

The best thing about the house is not in the house

Walkability to Atlantic Avenue and the beach drives the price, and no interior photograph communicates it.

Our approach: An aerial that frames the property against the avenue and the shoreline, so proximity is shown rather than claimed in the remarks.

Porches and canopy eat the exterior

A deep porch under mature trees is five stops darker than the sunlit lawn in front of it, and a single frame loses one or the other.

Our approach: Bracketed exteriors blended by hand, shot late in the day where the street orientation allows.

Amenities that sell the listing are behind another door

In the 55+ communities the clubhouse, courts and pool are a large part of the value and typically require separate permission to photograph.

Our approach: Amenity access requested at booking so the coverage is arranged rather than quietly dropped from the gallery.

Small historic rooms oversold

An ultra-wide lens on a 1930s cottage wins the click and loses the showing when the buyer walks into a room half the size they expected.

Our approach: Honest focal lengths plus a measured 3D tour, so expectations match the house before anyone drives over.

The Delray Beach market, and how we shoot for it

Delray Beach is a mid-market city with a wide spread. Redfin’s Delray Beach housing-market page reported a median sale price of about $507,000 and roughly 80 days on market when we checked it in September 2026, and that median sits between two very different halves of the city: beachside and historic-district houses well above it, and villas in the western age-restricted communities well below.

The seasonal rhythm matters more here than in most of our markets. A large share of Delray buyers are shopping from the Northeast in the autumn and transacting in the winter, which means a listing that goes live in October is being judged by someone looking at a screen in a cold city. That buyer cannot walk Atlantic Avenue to find out why the address is worth the money, so the gallery has to carry the neighbourhood as well as the house.

A roughly eleven-week clock also means the photographs will be working across a season change. An exterior shot in August, with a summer sky and heavy shade, will still be the lead image in November when the market is at its most attentive. It is worth shooting for the season the listing will actually sell in.
