Our Story
UAV BC was born from a lifelong passion for art and storytelling.
Our story starts the way many creative journeys do, long before we ever thought of it as a career. As teenagers, we were the kids with cameras in our hands, filming skateboard tricks, documenting our lives, and experimenting with photography and video just for the thrill of creating something new. Those early days taught us how to see the world differently, how to chase a moment, and how to tell a story with nothing more than curiosity and a lens.
From those beginnings, we’ve always found ourselves at the forefront of change. As digital media evolved, so did we, becoming early adopters of emerging platforms, social media marketing, and the idea that video and creative content could be powerful marketing engines for businesses of all sizes. While many companies were still figuring out Facebook and YouTube, we were already producing educational, documentary-style content that grew into large, engaged online communities.
That momentum opened the door to bigger opportunities. We began working with Canadian businesses on commercial photography and videography, designing websites, creating graphics, and building complete media packages for First Nations communities, international brands, advertising campaigns, and small businesses across the country. Our foundation in storytelling naturally expanded into full-scale creative production.
Then came the next evolution: drone technology. As soon as drones emerged as a creative tool, we were there, exploring the skies and pushing boundaries. What started as experimentation quickly turned into one of our most valuable skill sets. Today, drone photography and videography have become the core of our business. From real estate and land surveys to tourism, marketing, industrial work, and community projects, aerial media allows us to showcase places, stories, and perspectives that were once impossible to capture.
Through every stage, one thing has stayed consistent: we’ve always embraced what’s next. From skate videos as teenagers to commercial media production across Canada, to leading-edge drone services, our passion for creativity and technology continues to guide everything we do.
Today, UAV BC is a thriving drone services company helping businesses, brands, and communities across Canada capture stunning perspectives, tell powerful stories, and elevate their vision.
This is our story. Rooted in curiosity, driven by innovation, and always evolving.
Family-Owned and Operated
At the heart of our business is family. What began as a shared passion has grown into a fully family-owned and operated creative studio based in Northern British Columbia. Being family-run means every project matters. Every client gets our full attention, our creativity, and our commitment.
