We’re Alina and Stewart, and we’ve spent the last decade helping cameras take flight.
Our journey began long before drones became a household word. For years, we created music videos for independent bands, promotional content for small businesses, and stop-motion animations – always exploring new ways to tell visual stories. When we stepped into the world of wedding filmmaking in Scotland in 2013, we brought all that creative experience with us.
Our wedding film business took us across the country into some of the most beautiful and private locations in the UK – castles, estates, ancient forests, and coastal cliffs. These were places full of atmosphere and scale, and we wanted to do them justice on screen.
In 2014, we added aerial footage to our films. At the time, drone cinematography was still new, and simply seeing the world from above was enough to impress. But for us, a drone was never just a novelty – it was a tool. Another way to move the camera with purpose. Used thoughtfully, it brought emotion, perspective, and cinematic polish to our films that set them apart.
As the pilot, Stewart focused on mastering smooth, controlled flight. Alina brought her creative vision and years of experience behind the lens. Together, we developed a style of drone cinematography rooted in storytelling, not spectacle.
The impact was immediate. Our business grew quickly, and our library of drone footage expanded across hundreds of memorable projects and locations. Just as importantly, we developed a deep understanding of what makes aerial footage cinematic – and how to teach others to do the same.
In 2017, we launched a YouTube channel to share everything we’d learned. What started with simple tutorials quickly grew into one of the most respected resources for cinematic drone content online. In 2018, we released our first Drone Cinematography Masterclass, and since then, we’ve helped thousands of aspiring pilots elevate their aerial filmmaking.
We’re filmmakers first, drone enthusiasts second – and it’s that perspective that sets us, and our teaching, apart.
