Real Estate Photography & Video in The Shires & Home Counties

The Home Counties market, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Hampshire within our coverage area, represents the destination of choice for one of the most significant and sustained property movements of the past decade: the London exodus. Driven initially by the pandemic’s reassessment of priorities and sustained by a generational shift in the way people want to live and work, tens of thousands of affluent Londoners have moved, and continue to move, to the market towns and villages of the Home Counties, seeking larger homes, better schools, more green space, and a fundamentally different quality of life without sacrificing their connection to the capital.

This migration has created a property market characterised by high prices, high demand, and buyers who are accustomed to the visual standards of the London prime market. They expect to see properties presented with the same level of photographic and video quality in Beaconsfield or Marlow that they would expect in Mayfair. ZM Media provides that standard of service across the full Home Counties corridor.

Our Services in The Shires & Home Counties

Interior & Exterior Photography

Home Counties properties tend to be larger, more architecturally distinctive, and set in more generous grounds than their London equivalents. Our photography service is specifically designed to do justice to these properties, sweeping exterior shots that capture the scale and grandeur of a large country house, detailed interior photography that shows the quality of finishes in a luxury kitchen extension, intimate shots of cosy inglenook fireplaces and original features that communicate the character and history of a period property.

Aerial Drone Photography & Video

Drone photography is not optional in this market, it is essential. The properties that buyers are moving to the Home Counties to purchase are defined by their space, their settings, and their relationship with the surrounding countryside. A large detached house in Beaconsfield or a riverside property in Marlow can only be fully presented from the air. Our CAA-licensed drone operators produce sweeping aerial tours, low-level run-in shots, and high-altitude context images that capture the Chiltern Hills, the Thames Valley, and the Hertfordshire countryside in all their glory.

Matterport 3D Virtual Tours

The Home Counties attracts buyers who are often making significant lifestyle decisions, leaving London, changing how they work, choosing a new school for their children. These buyers do an extraordinary amount of online research before committing to a viewing. A Matterport 3D virtual tour allows them to properly explore a property from their London flat or their current home before making the journey. This qualifies your buyer and ensures that when they do visit, they are genuinely committed.

Cinematic Property & Lifestyle Video

For premium country properties in the Home Counties, we produce cinematic lifestyle videos that capture the full proposition, the property itself, the surrounding countryside, the town high street, the local schools, in a single, beautifully edited narrative. These videos are produced for Rightmove Premium, YouTube, and the social media channels that high-net-worth buyers use to research locations before they commit to a move.

The Home Counties Property Market in 2026

Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire is consistently one of the most expensive towns in the UK outside of London. Its combination of outstanding independent schools, beautiful Chiltern countryside, and fast Chiltern Railways trains to Marylebone (23 minutes) has made it the destination of choice for affluent London families for generations. Demand consistently outstrips supply.

Marlow, on the Thames in Buckinghamshire, is the quintessential English market town, and one of the most expensive small towns in the country. The combination of the river, the suspension bridge, the high street, and a cluster of Michelin-starred restaurants has made Marlow a byword for aspirational Home Counties living.

St Albans in Hertfordshire is one of the most in-demand locations anywhere within reasonable commuting distance of London. Its Roman history, its cathedral, its exceptional schools, and the fastest train service to St Pancras International (under 20 minutes) have created a property market that sees some of the highest transaction volumes and the most competitive buyer activity outside the capital.

Berkhamsted, also in Hertfordshire, has seen sustained price growth driven by buyers priced out of St Albans but seeking the same combination of market-town character, excellent schools, and fast London connectivity.
