Smoky Mountain Photoshoots

Rent a helicopter for photography and video.

You bring the crew, we'll bring the aircraft

A MyFlight Smoky Mountains Photoshoot is private helicopter access at our Sevierville heliport for the duration of your booking. The Robinson R44 stays off throughout the shoot, but our team will position it on the ramp however you want. Shoot around it, inside it, or with doors open or closed. Whether you're shooting product photography, social media content, brand campaigns, or music videos, the helicopter is your set.

Book in 30, 60, or 90 minute sessions depending on the scope of your shoot. Our ground crew is on site to stage the helicopter, reposition it between sequences, and keep your production moving. You bring the crew, we'll bring the aircraft.

Select your photoshoot duration

30 minutes
$400
A quick in and out photoshoot allowing enough time to grab some captures. Not recommended if you'll need outfit changes or detailed lighting sequences.
60 minutes
$750
Room for outfit changes, lighting adjustments, and a few different setups. Our most booked tier, and the right fit for fashion, brand, and lifestyle shoots that don't need a full production day.
90 minutes
$1,100
Plenty of time for full productions, complex lighting setups, and larger crews working through a long shot list. Recommended when you need room to work without watching the clock.

"Got more content out of one shoot than I have all year."

So I run a small Etsy shop and I've been needing to refresh my brand photos forever. My website looks tired and my Instagram has basically been the same six photos since like January. My boyfriend's idea (which I rolled my eyes at, sorry babe) was to book a photoshoot with a helicopter as the backdrop because the Smokies look insane in the fall. Ended up driving down to Sevierville for an hour booking and honestly we got SO much. The team had the helicopter ready exactly when we got there, doors open, just chef's kiss for product shots. Came home with enough content for like four months of posts plus a full website refresh. 10/10 would do it again, and I think we're already planning the spring version for the new product line.

No. Photoshoots are ramp-based. The aircraft stays in place for the duration of your booking. If you need aerial or in-flight footage, that's handled through our Custom Tours, where the helicopter actually flies.

No. For safety reasons, the aircraft is fully shut down for the entire shoot. No engine start, no rotor spin. The ground crew can reposition the aircraft on the ramp as needed, but it stays off.

Yes. Doors can be open or closed, and you can shoot the interior, exterior, or both. Tell us what you have planned in your inquiry so the ground crew can prep the aircraft accordingly.

No. You bring your own photographer, videographer, and any crew you need for the shoot. We provide private access to the aircraft, the ramp, and one ground crew member to assist with staging and safety.

Up to 20 total, including crew and talent combined. Larger productions can be discussed, but the 20-person cap is the standard limit for safety and ramp logistics.

Bring what you need. Larger gear (lighting rigs, generators, big stands, dolly tracks) needs to be disclosed in your inquiry so we can confirm it works with our ramp setup and safety requirements. Standard handheld gear, tripods, and reflectors don't need pre-approval.

Sometimes, depending on ramp availability that day. Overtime is billed at $300 per 30 minutes if pre-arranged when you book, or $500 per 30 minutes if added on the day of the shoot. Your ground crew will know what's possible.
