Delaware’s Photography Studio — Based in Newark, Serving the Whole State
Pixiest Photography is not a national chain with a local office. It is a single-photographer studio based in Newark, Delaware, built on over 15 years of genuine hands-on experience in family photography in Brandywine Park, covering corporate events in Wilmington’s Chase Center district, documenting weddings across Dover’s historic venues, and flying aerial surveys over New Castle County’s commercial properties.
The person behind every camera, every edit, and every delivered gallery is John — a professionally trained, FAA Part 107 certified photographer who started shooting in 2009 and has never stopped learning. John completed his photography education at Delaware Technical & Community College, earned advanced drone training at DJI Aerial Academy and Master Your Drone Flying School, and holds the FAA Part 107 Commercial sUAS Certification required for legal commercial drone operations across Delaware.
That level of credential and experience is not common in the local market. It is what every client who books Pixiest Photography is getting.
Why Delaware Clients Choose Pixiest Photography
There are photographers in Delaware. There are very few who combine this level of training, certification, and local knowledge in a single studio. Over 15 years of active photography experience, John started shooting in 2009. That is not years counting from when he bought a camera — that is years of active, paid, professional work across events, weddings, portraits, commercial projects, and aerial operations.
Formally trained and multiply certified Photography education at Delaware Technical & Community College. Advanced drone training at DJI Aerial Academy and Master Your Drone Flying School. FAA Part 107 Commercial sUAS Certification. Continuing education has never stopped.
