Commercial Photography + Cinematic Video Production
JRR Aerial Imaging (JR Resolutions) is a Baltimore-based drone photography and videography company specializing in aerial imagery for real estate, construction, yachts, and commercial properties. Since 2017, they have focused heavily on FAA-certified drone operations, aerial mapping, and exterior-focused media production.
While JRR Aerial Imaging excels in drone photography and aerial visuals, many modern businesses require more than aerial content alone. Today’s brands need full-scale commercial photography, cinematic video production, brand storytelling, advertising content, and social media campaigns — not just drone footage.
Bernardson provides complete commercial visual production in Baltimore, combining ground-level commercial photography, cinematic video production, brand campaigns, advertising visuals, and aerial integration when needed.
If you’re searching for a JRR Aerial Imaging alternative in Baltimore that offers full-service commercial production beyond drone services, Bernardson delivers an all-in-one creative solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is BERNARDSON different from JRR Aerial Imaging?
JRR Aerial Imaging primarily focuses on drone and aerial photography services, providing overhead imagery and aerial video for real estate, construction, and various visual documentation needs. Their work is typically centered on capturing aerial perspectives that showcase properties, landscapes, and large-scale environments. This type of service is ideal for projects where drone visuals are the main deliverable.
BERNARDSON provides a full-service commercial production approach that includes commercial photography, cinematic video production, and marketing-focused content creation designed for branding, advertising, and business growth. While drone footage can be an important component of visual storytelling, BERNARDSON integrates aerial visuals into broader commercial campaigns rather than offering them as a standalone service.
Can BERNARDSON create content for social media?
Yes. BERNARDSON provides ongoing content creation packages that include both photography and video tailored specifically for social media and digital marketing platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube. This includes short-form videos, reels, promotional clips, and branded photography designed to engage audiences and maintain consistent brand presence.
Ongoing content creation allows businesses to maintain regular posting schedules and adapt to evolving marketing needs. By delivering high-quality visuals on a consistent basis, BERNARDSON helps brands strengthen audience engagement and remain competitive across digital platforms.
What makes Bernardson's multi-platform approach different?
Traditional studios shoot content in one format and expect you to adapt it for different platforms. This leads to cropped Instagram posts, awkward TikTok videos, and underperforming content.
We plan multi-platform optimization from the start. We shoot vertical (9:16 for Instagram Stories/TikTok), square (1:1 for Instagram feed), and widescreen (16:9 for YouTube/LinkedIn) simultaneously during production. Each platform gets content designed specifically for its format and audience behavior, typically increasing engagement rates 40-60% compared to repurposed content.
