Drone Video & Photography · San Marcos, TX
A bird's-eye view of San Marcos that leaves your audience speechless.
Hen's Bread Productions delivers FAA-certified drone video and photography across San Marcos and the Hays County area. Cinematic 4K aerial footage of the river corridor, Hill Country terrain, and the I-35 business corridor — a perspective no ground camera can replicate.
Aerial footage that makes everything else look small.
Drone video and photography instantly elevates any production. The moment a wide aerial shot appears — gliding over the San Marcos River, revealing the Hill Country backdrop, or establishing a location from above — viewers are locked in. It's a perspective ground cameras cannot replicate.
Hen's Bread Productions is FAA Part 107 certified, fully insured, and equipped with the DJI Mavic 3. Our footage integrates seamlessly into your video production, brand content, or standalone aerial reel — color graded to match, not handed off raw.
Whether you need a single establishing shot for a corporate video or comprehensive aerial coverage across a full event, we bring broadcast-level standards to every flight over San Marcos.
Four things that matter on every flight
FAA Part 107 certified — not optional, not negotiable
Max Cunningham holds a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate — the commercial license required to fly legally for hire. Every flight over San Marcos is fully compliant, including airspace checks near Hays County Airport and Texas State University airspace.
Fully insured for commercial drone operations
Full Frame insured for commercial drone work. Venue liability requirements, client COI requests, and event permits — covered before you have to ask. This matters more than most clients realize until they need it on-site.
Cinema-grade color — not consumer drone footage
The DJI Mavic 3 shoots in D-Log M color profile with a 4/3" CMOS sensor. Brian Gomez color grades every aerial clip to match your production. No flat, washed-out footage handed off unprocessed.
Drone add-on available with any production package
Aerial and ground footage edited by the same team — consistent color, consistent quality. Max operates drone while Jacob and Victor cover ground, so your aerial and ground footage cut together cleanly without a second vendor handoff.
Aerial coverage built for this area
Corporate Video & Brand Content
Aerial establishing shots for corporate productions, campus reveals, office park overviews, and brand identity videos. A single drone shot at the top of a corporate video changes the entire feel of the piece.
Events & Outdoor Productions
Capture venue scale, crowd energy, and location context from above. San Marcos outdoor events — riverfront gatherings, festivals, university events — read completely differently from the air than from the ground.
Real Estate & Architecture
Show properties in full context — lot size, river or Hill Country proximity, neighborhood layout, and surrounding landscape. Aerial photography for listings, architectural showcases, and development marketing along the Hays County growth corridor.
Location & Landscape
The San Marcos River, Wimberley Valley, and the Hill Country edge just west of town — aerial photography for tourism, hospitality, outdoor recreation brands, and place-based marketing content that only works from altitude.
Film & Commercial Production
Aerial B-roll for independent films, commercial spots, and branded content campaigns. Full integration with ground-level Sony FX9 and FX6 footage for seamless editorial — no mismatched color between your drone and your cameras.
Aerial Photography
High-resolution aerial stills for print, web, social, and marketing use. Commercial license included. Delivered in full resolution, color graded to match your brand palette. 20MP from the Mavic 3's 4/3" sensor.
DJI Mavic 3 — Cinema-grade aerial platform
Not consumer-grade
The Mavic 3 is the same platform used by commercial production companies worldwide. Its 4/3" CMOS sensor and D-Log M color profile put it in a different category from smaller consumer drones — and the difference shows in the footage.
Operated by Max Cunningham
Max holds a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and has logged flight time across Central Texas including urban environments, Hill Country terrain, and event airspace. He handles pre-flight airspace checks, authorization requests, and on-site safety protocol for every job.
From location check to final delivery
Discovery & Location Review
We review your San Marcos location for FAA airspace restrictions, no-fly zones, and authorization requirements. Most Hays County locations clear within 24 hours. We tell you upfront if there are restrictions — no surprises on shoot day.
Shot List & Flight Plan
We build a shot list with you — specific angles, altitudes, movements, and timing. Drone footage works best when planned. A clear shot list means no wasted flight time and no missed shots over the river or across the Hill Country edge.
On-Site Flight Operations
We execute the flight plan with safety, precision, and efficiency. Multiple batteries for extended sessions. We monitor footage in real time so you can approve shots on-site before we wrap — no guessing until the edit.
Post-Production & Delivery
Aerial footage is color graded in D-Log M to match your production's look. Delivered via Vimeo in full 4K resolution, ready for editorial. Standalone aerial reels or fully integrated with ground footage — your call.
We fly across San Marcos and the surrounding area
No travel fees for drone projects within San Marcos and Hays County. We also run regular flights throughout the I-35 corridor and Hill Country surrounding areas.

Hen's Bread Productions has been providing professional aerial coverage to Central Texas businesses, real estate professionals, event producers, and filmmakers since 2020. Our drone pilot, Max Cunningham, holds a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and is fully insured for commercial drone operations throughout Hays County and the surrounding area.

San Marcos offers some of the most visually compelling aerial territory in Central Texas.
