Cisco Systems & Geodis Park
Nashville Drone Co recently had the opportunity to do some drone video work for Cisco Systems at Nashville Soccer Club’s Geodis Park Stadium. The newly built stadium in Nashville Tennessee features Cisco’s Connected Stadium Wi-Fi solution which offers high capacity and blanket Wi-Fi coverage throughout the stadium.
In addition to flying amidst the rafters of the stadium to capture footage of Cisco’s WiFi units, we captured cinematic views of Geodis Stadium to be used in Cisco’s marketing commercials.
The Nashville Soccer Club just made the MLS playoffs so we threw together a little video to get Nashville residents excited.

Brentwood TN based lighting company, Lumenate, created a spectacular display of Christmas lights that lined the meandering trail through the woods. Folks were gifted special treats at stops along the way as they drove through the amazing display which included Christmas lights, live reindeer, elves doing stunts on a trampoline and greetings from both Santa Clause and the Grinch.

We also captured the famous round-about plaza and the newly opened Virgin Hotel. While some music companies have moved their offices to downtown locations, 16th & 17th Avenues in Nashville will forever be remembered as the hub for the music that made and continues to make Nashville famous. Some of the houses that once served as offices for various music companies are now being replaced with hotels and condos, but The Row (a name locals call it) continues to be the birthplace for many radio hits in country, Christian and pop music.

Franklin TN Drone Christmas Video
Nashville Drone CO has been busy this year filming Christmas lights with our drone and creating Video Christmas Cards for homeowners. We started the season off filming one of our favorite towns, Franklin TN, which is just a few miles south of Nashville, TN. Franklin is known for their Dicksons of a Christmas celebration each year but this year the event was canceled due to pandemic concerns. Franklin TN does a fabulous job with their Christmas tree and lights and we thought it would be fun to share them with the world since so many folks are staying in.
Drone Video Christmas Card

Arrington Vineyards Sunrise Drone Video
Nashville DroneCo set out on a mission to capture cinematic drone video images of Arrington Vineyards in order to help tell their story. While contemplating the thought “if only the grapes could talk,” I came to the realization they actually do talk. While the story begins with the original dream and vine planting by master vintner Kip Summers and his partnership with country artist Kix Brooks, the story of the grapes from Arrington Vineyards now reaches people around the world. Every time someone opens a bottle of Arrington Vineyards’ wine, the story flows out. The flavors that flood one’s senses while tasting Arrington’s wine, give hints of the land, the soil, the vines, the vintner, the harvesters and most importantly the grapes. We captured drone photographs and video just after sunrise as Arrington Vineyards was waking for the day. The vines, the tasting room, the barn and the two event houses all contribute to the beautiful story of Arrington Vineyards We hope our drone video helps tell a small part of their story through the cinematic images we captured.
Dreamy Real Estate Drone Photography
Dreamy Real Estate Photography - Nashville Drone Co
Dreamy real estate drone photography can certainly help sell a home. Nashville Drone Co understands that concept and how cinematic drone photography helps tell the story of home. Bringing the property alive and implanting that special image in the minds of potential buyers is our goal when we set out to photograph and film real estate. Capturing images from above gives potential buyers a view of the property from an angle they may not get from sellers of other properties. Beautiful arial views spark the imagination of potential buyers igniting dreams and the desire to place themselves permanently in the middle of the photo. Once that emotional attachment is secured, the seller is on their way to closing the deal.
Nashville Drone Co Visits Atlanta
Nashville drone photography company, Nashville Drone Co, recently took a trip to Atlanta, GA to capture real estate photographs and video footage for a Georgia client. The real estate we were engaged to capture was nestled in a beautiful Decatur/Druid Hills neighborhood near Emory University. The forest and hills made flying the drone in the area a bit tricky but we carefully weaved our way between trees and power lines in the older Atlanta neighborhood and captured the property from unique angles.
When Nashville Drone Co photographs and films properties, our main objective is to help tell the story of the property. Offering views that only a drone can capture offers a perspective that might not otherwise be seen. This particular property boasted mature trees and landscape surrounding a modern structure. Tucked away in an older more traditional neighborhood, this house stands out and looks spectacular.
Nashville Drone Co was thrilled with the opportunity to serve this Atlanta-based client and we hope for an opportunity to return to Georgia soon.
Franklin, TN Morning Drone Video Tour
Nashville Drone Co recently filmed a drone video of Franklin, TN, one of Nashville’s most beautiful suburbs. Cinematic Drone photography and video starts with a great subject like the quaint little town of Franklin, TN.
Early Sunday mornings are one of the quietest times in Franklin which is otherwise bustling with residents and tourists. Sunrise offers a natural warm light which is perfect for capturing drone photography and video. The vintage buildings, churches and new real estate come alive as the sun peaks over the hills that serve as a background to Franklin, TN.
Capturing Beautiful Sunset and Sunrise Drone Images of Tennessee Properties
Thompson Station, TN Sunrise
Capturing beautiful sunset and sunrise drone images of Tennessee properties is a treat for Nashville Drone Co as it offers opportunity to explore areas many don’t even know exist.
This week, Nashville Drone Co had the opportunity to film a marketing video for Liefke Estates/Iron Hoof Stables in Thompson Station, TN. Complete with cinematic epic views, the estate is nestled in the beautiful rolling hills of Thompson Station, TN. Liefke Estates is home to a luxury Air BnB and Iron Hoof Stables which offers horseback trail riding and riding lessons.
Nashville Drone Co made two trips to Liefke Estates to capture drone images during the sunset twilight hour and the morning sunrise hour. While the sunset was certainly breathtaking to view, our drone camera preferred the lighting created by the sunrise over the property. The layer of fog on the hills was magnificent as the sun began to rise and the lens flare from the morning sun offered a nice touch. Once the sun peaked over the hills, we found ourselves in pretty intense summer sun. Thankfully, we found shady areas that allowed us to capture a few more drone images.
One thing we’ve learned about drone filming sunsets and sunrises on properties in Tennessee is to be patient, nimble and attentive. Beautiful images reveal themselves quickly and one could miss the perfect shot in the blink of an eye. At Nashville Drone Co, we shoot fast, plentiful and explore everything we can find with our drone!
Drone Image Franklin TN Square
One of the most popular and well known suburbs of Nashville, TN is Franklin, TN. Known for its quaint downtown, scattered with boutique shops and restaurants, Franklin is a must visit for Nashville visitors.
The hub of downtown Franklin, TN is the square which is actually a roundabout feeding streets North, South, East and West. The middle of the roundabout features a civil war memorial which features a statue of a soldier flanked with canons on a grass lawn incased in shrubs. On a recent Nashville Drone Co shoot, we flew a drone straight up a couple hundred feet above the roundabout and captured a unique image that actually looks very much like a painting. When we are flying drones, Nashville Drone Co checks out every angle so we don’t miss beautiful images like this one which was begging to be discovered.
Tips for Filming Downtown Nashville With A Drone
Nashville Skyline
For new drone pilots in Tennessee, flying and filming downtown Nashville tops the bucket list for locations to capture drone video and drone photography. However, air space regulations, state and local restrictions and tall buildings present challenges making filming downtown Nashville with a drone a bit intimidating.
So what is the best way to tackle the challenge?
First of all, practicing one’s drone flying skills for many hours in an open space is a must. Before attempting to navigate the Nashville skyline, it would be wise to hone those flying skills in less intimidating locations. Those little joy sticks can help navigate majestically or they can crash your drone. Hours of practice will build muscle memory prove crucial to a safe flight.
Nashville Drone Co recommends taking a visual observer on your downtown Nashville drone adventure. When flying in an urban landscape, one can lose sight of a drone very easily. Some of our pilots at Nashville Drone Co prefer to focus on the controller screen in order to see what they are filming while staying in constant communication with a visual observer alerting them to surroundings and people wandering into the area. Power lines, light poles and buildings come into play when flying at lower altitudes and can make take off and landing a bit tricky. Music City also offers birds to contend with. Our drones are quite often attacked by flocks of birds while flying downtown Nashville. The sound of a drone apparently attracts and irritates birds so a visual observer can give warning if the birds become aggressive. we prefer not to have our drones crash like the government drone in recent news which was taken down by a bald eagle.
Knowing what air space you are in and knowing the state and local restrictions are crucial. While most of Downtown Nashville is in G airspace, it sits near the edge of C airspace spilling over from Nashville airport. Downtown Nashville is scattered with metro parks which are prohibited spaces for flying drones. Both sides of the Cumberland river contain metro parks that stretch the most of the length of downtown, so finding a legal place to launch from takes a little planning.
And lastly, but most important is avoiding flying over people. We’ve found the best way to avoid people is to fly early mornings. Early morning also offers the best light for filming. Civil Twilight can work also but we find way less people moving around Nashville early in the morning.
