Luxury Real Estate Media Services in Granite Bay
Granite Bay sits at the top of the Placer County market. Median sale prices held near $1.27 million through the first half of 2026 while averages climbed past $1.4 million, and behind the gates of Chelshire Estates, Los Lagos, and Wexford, properties trade into eight figures. Good photography is not a differentiator here. It is the price of admission.
The buyer is frequently relocating from the Bay Area and shopping online first. At this price point they will not shortlist a home from twelve flat photos, and they often commit before they can visit. The listing media is the showing.
Granite Bay also presents a production problem agents underestimate. Lots run from half an acre to several acres under heavy oak canopy, homes sit far back from the road, and the value is often in the land, the privacy, and the reach to Folsom Lake rather than the kitchen. Shooting an estate here the way you would shoot a tract home loses the story every time.
9070 Chelshire Estates Ct
Chelshire Estates Court is a private cul-de-sac off Eureka Road and one of the most significant addresses in Granite Bay. A 2022-built estate with a separate guest house, dual pools, an upper courtyard, and grounds that read as one continuous room with the architecture. At the very top of the market, where the buyer pool is measured in dozens rather than hundreds and listings routinely sit for six months or more, this one went under contract in 61 days. Twilight, aerial, and cinematic film, because at this level the grounds are the product and no single frame can carry them.

The Luxury Communities of Granite Bay
Every neighborhood here sells on something different. A Wexford golf-frontage manor and a Hidden Valley acreage parcel are not the same listing, and they should not get the same shoot. Here is how we approach each one.
Chelshire Estates
A private cul-de-sac off Eureka Road holding the largest custom estates in Granite Bay, from roughly 5,600 to over 13,000 square feet on acreage lots, with recent sales past $8 million. These properties carry the full treatment: twilight exteriors, cinematic film, and aerial that establishes the parcel. Gate access and any HOA drone restrictions are confirmed before the date is locked, not on arrival.
Los Lagos
Twenty-four hour guarded gate, custom estates on half-acre to multi-acre lots, private lakes, an equestrian center, and a trail network. The amenities are a large part of what the buyer is purchasing, so the aerial covers the setting and the approach, not only the roofline.
Wexford
Roughly 145 custom manor homes behind a guarded gate, built around the championship course at Granite Bay Golf Club. Traditional and European architecture with mature landscaping. Golf frontage is the premium, and it only reads properly from altitude.
Granite Bay Hills
A compact gated enclave with park, walking paths, tennis and basketball courts, and golf-cart access to Granite Bay Golf Club. Lots run roughly a third to just under an acre. Buyers compare closely across a small pool of homes, so finish level and honest color are what separate one listing from the next.
Wedgewood
Custom estates with European-inspired detailing and meticulously maintained grounds in a secluded setting. Architecture is the story here, which means clean verticals, correct stone and stucco color, and exterior coverage that gives the elevations room to breathe.
Douglas Ranch
Generous professionally landscaped lots with mature trees. Four-plus bedroom estates with three and four car garages, private pools, and extensive outdoor entertaining space. The backyard is frequently the strongest asset, so the shoot is built around late light rather than midday.
Treelake Village
Long-established and consistently in demand, inside one of the region's strongest school attendance areas. These listings move on family buyers comparing floor plans, so the walkthrough matters as much as the stills.
Folsom Lake and Hidden Lake Estates
Properties positioned for the Folsom Lake shoreline, Beals Point, and the regional trail system, plus secluded custom homes on acreage where privacy is the product. Aerial is not optional. The relationship between the house, the parcel, and the water is the entire premium.
Shelborne and Hidden Valley
Newer construction with easy access to Granite Bay's top-rated schools, alongside custom homes on larger parcels with mature oak cover. Two different buyers, two different shoots: bright and square for the newer inventory, land and light for the custom acreage.

What We Deliver on a Granite Bay Listing
HDR Photography
Magazine-quality HDR hand blended from five bracketed exposures, so the windows hold the view and the interior holds its color. MLS-ready files delivered next day by noon.
Cinematic Video
Directed listing films, color graded, scored, and paced for the property rather than a template. Vertical social cuts included.
Aerial Drone
DJI Mavic 3 Cine coverage, FAA Part 107 compliant and insured. Parcel context, oak canopy, golf frontage, and cinematic fly-throughs.
3D Virtual Tours
Matterport and Zillow 3D Home walkthroughs with floor plan integration. Essential on large Granite Bay floor plans and for the out-of-area buyer touring online first.
2D Floor Plans
Clean, measured schematic floor plans that give buyers the layout at a glance. Delivered in black-and-white or branded to your listing, and paired with any photo or video package.
Twilight Exteriors
The single highest-performing frame on a luxury listing. Shot at real dusk on estate properties, not simulated.
Virtual Staging
For vacant estates and new construction, styled to the price point and disclosed on every image.
Three cinematic treatments for luxury estates
Above a certain price point, a walkthrough video is not enough. LuxStyle Estates is our signature program for the Chelshire Estates, Los Lagos, and Wexford tier: directed films with lifestyle talent, twilight, floor plan coverage, and campaign reels built to carry the listing across every channel. For everything below that tier, our Highlight Reel package starts at $650.
In Granite Bay, the Lot Is the Listing
This is oak country on large parcels. Lot size, canopy, privacy, golf frontage, and the reach to Folsom Lake are the reasons a home here trades above a comparable floor plan in Roseville or Rocklin. None of that appears in an interior gallery, and a ground-level exterior cannot show where a two-acre parcel ends.
Aerial coverage is available on any Granite Bay shoot and is the piece we recommend most often here, especially on acreage and lake-adjacent lots where the setting is the selling point. Our pilots are FAA Part 107 certified and insured, and flights near the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area boundary are planned so launch and recovery stay on private property.

Granite Bay Real Estate Photography FAQ
Do luxury listings in Granite Bay need video?
For anything at the top of this market, yes. A large share of Granite Bay buyers are relocating from the Bay Area and out of state, and they shortlist properties online before they ever drive out. Video and a 3D tour let them qualify the home remotely, which shortens the path to an offer and filters out the tours that were never going anywhere.
Do you photograph listings inside Chelshire Estates, Los Lagos, and Wexford?
Yes. Granite Bay's gated and guard-gated communities are among the ones we photograph most often. We handle gate access coordination in advance with the listing agent and confirm community protocols for drone flight and on-site crew before the date is locked.
Which Granite Bay communities do you serve?
All of them. That includes Chelshire Estates, Los Lagos, Wexford, Granite Bay Hills, Wedgewood, Douglas Ranch, Treelake Village, Shelborne, Hidden Valley, Folsom Lake Estates, Hidden Lake Estates, Chelshire Downs, Cavitt Ranch, Quarry Ridge, Winding Creek, and the surrounding acreage properties throughout 95746.
Can you fly a drone in Granite Bay?
Yes. Our pilots hold FAA Part 107 certification and carry commercial liability insurance. Granite Bay sits in uncontrolled airspace for most of the community, but properties along the eastern edge border Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, where launch and recovery from park land is restricted. We plan those flights to stay on private property and confirm any HOA drone rules with the listing agent in advance.
What does listing media cost for a Granite Bay estate?
Estates are quoted as a package, not a line item, because the number moves with square footage, lot size, and how much of the story lives outdoors. Granite Bay properties skew large on both counts. The full LuxStyle Estates cinematic treatment runs $2,000 to $4,000 depending on the tier. For listings that do not call for the full collection, our Highlight Reel package, which pairs HDR photography with a social teaser, drone, and a property website, starts at $650.
For context, on a $2 million Granite Bay listing a $3,000 media package is roughly a tenth of a percent of list price, and it is the only thing most buyers will ever see before deciding whether to tour. Individual services are also available a la carte if a smaller listing does not call for the full treatment. Send us the address and we will quote it properly.
How do you handle large estates and acreage properties?
Larger properties are scheduled with additional shoot time and, where the grounds warrant it, a return visit for twilight. We scope by square footage and lot size rather than a flat time block, so guest houses, outbuildings, pool houses, and the grounds get real coverage instead of two rushed frames at the end of the day.
How fast do you deliver photos?
Photography is delivered the next business day by noon. Cinematic video and 3D tours follow on a timeline confirmed at booking, and rush delivery is available when a listing date will not move.
How far in advance should I book?
Three to five days is comfortable for a standard shoot. Estate listings that need twilight, full video, and aerial should be scheduled a week or more ahead so we can build the day around the light and clear gate access.
