This week, I found myself buzzing around a bustling boatyard on the Norfolk Broads—quite literally, as our drones took to the skies.
We’d been called in by one of our clients, a small but lively operation (no names, of course), to capture their business basking in the glow of this gorgeous spring weather. I was there, a fly on the wall—or perhaps a lens in the air—snapping shots and filming footage as boats bobbed, water sparkled, and the team went about their day.
The brief was simple but exciting: create a rich bank of photographs and videos showcasing the yard in all its glory. From wide aerial sweeps to close-ups of gleaming hulls, the owner wanted a collection they could dip into over the coming months for social media posts. It’s about showing off their business as it truly is—a unique slice of the Broads—and enticing potential customers with an authentic glimpse of what they offer.
I managed to grab a few shots myself during the shoot, and I’ll share some of those stunning aerials at the end of this post. There’s something powerful about having your own bank of bespoke media. It’s not just about pretty pictures; it’s about telling your story in a way generic stock images never could.
Those off-the-shelf stock imagescan work? They’re polished, sure, but they lack soul. They’re not your business—they’re not the sun glinting off your boats or the breeze rippling through your corner of Norfolk. What we captured this week is the real deal, and it’s a game-changer for standing out online.
For us at Labrinth Mini Movies, this kind of work is pure joy. These shoots are quick—often wrapped up in just a few hours—and affordable for our clients, yet the results are top-tier. With full-frame cameras and professional drones, we’re not messing around.
This job leaned heavily on drone footage, and for good reason: the bird’s-eye view of their sprawling premises is nothing short of spectacular. It’s the kind of perspective that stops thumbs scrolling and pulls people in.
So, if you’re a Norfolk business looking to shine in your true light, why not give us a shout? Let’s create something special together. Below, I’ve popped in a couple of those aerial shots from the boatyard—enjoy the view!
