// Clarkston · village & outdoors

Village character, from ground and air.

Clarkston pairs a historic village downtown with the lakes, parks, and outdoor recreation of northern Oakland County. ATex provides licensed drone photography and ground-level brand media for Clarkston businesses — the aerials that show the setting, and the stills that show the work.

Venues & event properties

Aerial and ground photography of the property in its best season — the gallery that books next year's dates.

Outdoor & recreation brands

Gear and lifestyle media shot in the real terrain, with drone photography establishing the landscape the product lives in.

Village shops & offices

Brand photography and short films that carry the village's character onto the website and social feeds.

The Clarkston picture

Clarkston's business mix is distinct: a walkable village of restaurants, boutiques, and professional offices; event and wedding venues set in the surrounding countryside; and outdoor-recreation businesses — golf, lakes, orchards, trail and gear shops — that sell a place as much as a product. For these businesses the location is the pitch, and the location reads best from above. Licensed drone photography paired with ground coverage is how a venue or outfitter shows why people drive out.

Working in Clarkston

Most of Clarkston sits in uncontrolled airspace, but parks and venue properties still get a site and landowner check before any flight; aerials are timed to morning or evening light.

The package that fits: Monthly Marketing Package

Seasonal businesses need content that follows the seasons. The Monthly Marketing Package schedules drone and ground coverage across the year — spring openings, summer events, fall color — so the feed never runs dry in the off-months.

Straight answers

Can you fly a drone over our venue or property in Clarkston?

Usually, yes. Every flight is planned under an FAA remote pilot certificate: we check the airspace, confirm permission with the property owner, and time the flight for good light. Parks and public land have their own rules, and those are checked before we quote.

When is the best time of year to shoot a Clarkston venue?

It depends on what sells the property. Summer greenery and fall color photograph best for most venues and outdoor businesses. We often split coverage across two seasons so the gallery isn't stuck in one.

We're a small village shop. Is this overkill for us?

No. Village businesses usually need a single day: storefront, interior, product, and a short brand film. That's enough to refresh the website and Google profile and cover a season of posts.
