Flight Commander
Wendy earned her wings at Aerial Innovations of GA, Inc. at the turn of the century. Since then, she hasn’t been able to keep her feet on the ground! Her love of photography and flying has led Aerial Innovations to be a leading Aerial Photography company in the Southeast.
Chief Photographer
Rick comes to us with an MFA from Columbia College in Chicago, where he was also an instructor. We keep Rick busy in the air and on the ground. He is our lead aerial and architectural photography in Tennessee & Kentucky. He always gets the perfect shot!
Atlanta Photographer & Editor
A veteran of the Academy of Ari University of San Francisco, Mara is our Atlanta area cinematographer and video editor. A creative at heart, Mara is always looking for unique ways to showcase our clients’ work. She is quick with technology and helps us meet some light deadlines!

Chelsea graduated from the Ari Institute of Atlanta with a focus on Architectural Photography. She has a keen eye for detail and making spaces come to life. When not servicing our loyal clients, Chelsea can be found shooting nighttime events in Atlanta for some amazing organizations.
Photographer/Drone Pilot
Jon Morgan is a prolific still photographer, a wiz at video and loves piloting the drones for a multitude of projects. We are amazed by the portraits and detail shots he comes back with. We love to send Jon on our most creative assignments.
Videographer/Drone Pilot
Johnny can take a complicated shoot and make it seem easy. When he’s not on Nashville’s hottest film sets, Johnny operates our drone (both as a Port 107 pilot & camera operator), capturing stunning video and editing it all to polished perfection. He’s also working on his pilot’s license, so he loves to get in the air!
Video Editor/Drone Pilot
Ron has a lifetime of experience in film-making and we are honored to have his talents and studio available to us. When not in the studio, he’s on set operating our camera both on the ground and in the air. An accomplished still photographer as well, all of his talents blend seamlessly to offer our client’s the perfect package.
Executive Assistant
If you are looking for a great time, give our Nashville office a call. Marc is the friendly voice at the other end helping our busy executive out and our amazing team. But watch out, he’s also tracking down some of our past dues!
Accounting
Watch this one, she’s out for money! Bonnie helps keep the business rolling by taking care of deposits, paying bills, creating invoices….and most importantly, handling the payroll…who could forget that?? She’s not only a family member, but an integral part of the team as well. Bonnie frequently keeps us entertained with stories about the neighborhood back in the day, her dance escapades, and her grandson Isaiah.
