Our Story

BUILT IN RALEIGH
TO SERVE
NORTH CAROLINA

Founded in Raleigh, North Carolina, Drone Studio NC began with a simple belief: that professional aerial photography, videography, and precision drone data should be accessible and affordable for businesses and individuals of every size across the state.

What started as a passion for aerial technology has grown into a full-service drone company serving clients across agriculture, construction, real estate and insurance, weddings, private celebrations, and corporate events throughout Raleigh, the Triangle, and all of North Carolina. From capturing a couple’s dream wedding at a scenic NC venue to delivering survey-grade mapping data for a Triangle construction project or documenting crop health for a Piedmont farming operation, we bring the same dedication to precision, creativity, and professionalism to every engagement. Today, our team of FAA Part 107 certified pilots operates industry-leading drone platforms and delivers results that help our clients make better decisions, create lasting memories, and stand out from the competition.
Meet the Owner

MEET MARCO A. CASTRO
FOUNDER & LEAD PILOT

Drone Studio NC was founded by Marco A. Castro, a Raleigh-based FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot with over five years of hands-on experience delivering professional aerial services across North Carolina. What began as a passion for aerial technology quickly grew into a mission — to provide businesses, families, and organizations throughout the Triangle with drone services that are accessible, affordable, and executed with the highest level of care and precision.

With five years of flying experience spanning agriculture, construction, real estate and insurance, weddings, private celebrations, and corporate events, Marco brings a rare combination of technical expertise and creative vision to every project. He understands the unique needs of each client and industry because he has spent years on the ground and in the air solving real problems for real people across Raleigh and North Carolina. Whether it is capturing a couple’s dream wedding from above, delivering survey-grade mapping data for a Wake County construction site, or producing aerial inspection reports for an insurance claim in the Triangle, Marco is personally involved in every step of the process.

When you choose Drone Studio NC, you are working directly with Marco and his dedicated team — not a faceless national company. That local, personal approach is what sets us apart and why Raleigh clients trust us with their most important projects and moments.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Drone Studio NC completely transformed how we monitor our construction sites across the Triangle. The aerial survey reports save us hours of manual inspection and have caught grading issues we would have missed from the ground. Their surveying and mapping accuracy is outstanding.
Mark Thompson
VP of Construction, Meridian Builders
We hired Drone Studio NC for aerial photography of our farm listings and the results blew us away. The overhead shots of the properties and surrounding land gave our buyers a perspective they had never seen before. Our listings with drone photos sell noticeably faster.
Sarah Mitchell
Broker, Triangle Land & Farm Realty
We booked Drone Studio NC for our wedding at a vineyard outside Raleigh and the aerial footage was absolutely magical. The highlight reel they delivered had our entire family in tears. Best investment we made for our wedding day — we watch it all the time.
