BED & BREAKFASTS

The Dominion House |. Yale Manor | Finger Lakes B&B | River’s Edge Mansion

While capturing drone footage of pretty much anything for pretty much any client has the potential to be fun, I can honestly say that Bed and Breakfasts are probably my favorite subject matter! Especially when you are lucky enough to schedule an autumn session!

Drone shoot for:

THE DOMINION HOUSE BED & BREAKFAST

The beautiful Dominion House in Blooming Grove, NY is one of Orange County’s most popular stays. And for good reason! It is a gem built in 1880 that offers endless charm and some of the best amenities around including a beautiful pool area, a hot tub, and a library to name just a few.

The owners had me do their first shoot in the summer of 2023. They requested a summer drone session so that we could get lovely aerial footage of the pool and its landscaping. We are hoping to do another session next autumn in order to capture the walking trails in peak foliage!

YALE MANOR BED & BREAKFAST & YURTS

In the summer of 2024 I was contacted by the owners of Yale Manor Bed & Breakfast and Yurts to do a nice summer drone photo session of their bed and breakfast, yurts and their pier on Seneca Lake.

Although the trees on the property made capturing drone photos and videos somewhat of a challenge, we (the owners and myself) were pleased with what we got. The rest of the property including the yurts were easy and fun to capture.

Part of the reason for the aerial photo was to capture some photos for a listing! The owners were in the process of trying to sell the property to be closer to family. I have not met the new owners but I can tell you that if you’ve never seen a yurt, that alone would be worth a stay! These yurts are especially nice. You can see pictures of them from the inside on their website: Yale Manor B&B.

Drone shoot for:

FINGER LAKES BED & BREAKFAST

The owners of Finger Lakes Bed & Breakfast at Hutton Farm in Penn Yan reached out to me in the late autumn of 2024. Their initial idea was to start with an autumn drone shoot and then to do a full photo and video shoot in each of the four seasons. Even though the pictures and video, as such, came out fantastic in terms of quality, the challenge is that it was far too late in the season to really capture foliage. So, in essence, we got really good pictures of the Bed and Breakfast itself… surrounded by nearly bare trees!

Nonetheless, I decided to post these for the mere picture quality. Despite the poor timing, they are still good pictures.

Finger Lakes Bed & Breakfast is an elegant facility – they gave me a quick tour – and the owners are very nice. Their website is: fingerlakesbb.com if you’d like to check their availability.

Drone shoot for:

RIVER’S EDGE MANSION BED & BREAKFAST

This particular drone shoot was done in the early summer of 2025 and it was a lot of fun. The only trouble was, the clients wanted the SD card right out of the drone upon completion of the shoot because they were going to use it immediately. They had no problem with me using images from their property in my portfolio – I just didn’t have a quick way to copy the files because I hadn’t brought my laptop with me. Thankfully I had enough internal storage on the drone to pop off a few pictures. And, even more thankfully, they were good.
