Scheduling & Cancellations

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend at least 48–72 hours in advance. Same-day availability may be possible — just reach out.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellations or reschedules within 24 hours of the shoot are subject to a $50 late cancellation fee.

What about weather cancellations for drone shoots?

Drone flights are weather-permitting. If conditions are unsafe we will reschedule at no charge and notify you as early as possible.

Please Note

Out of respect for your home and belongings, Sparrow Media does not move, rearrange, or reorganize personal items during shoot visits. We kindly ask that the space be tidied and prepped prior to our arrival using the checklist above. In the event a reshoot is requested due to an unprepared space, additional service charges will apply. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to making your listing shine.
