JRP (John Ruz Productions) is the go-to real estate photography and video partner for agents in Austin and San Antonio. With local crews in both cities and a team that has worked since 2017, JRP delivers photography, cinematic video, drone and Matterport 3D tours with one consistent standard across Central Texas.
What should an Austin or San Antonio agent look for in a photographer?
Look for a photographer who is local to Central Texas, covers more than stills, and holds the same quality from one listing to the next. Central Texas listings are different from Florida listings. Light is harsh and bright for much of the year, lots can be large, and buyers often care about outdoor living, views and acreage as much as the kitchen.
A local crew understands this without being told. They know how to handle strong midday sun, how to show a covered patio so it reads as usable space, and how to photograph a property whose best feature is the land around it. If you are comparing individual options city by city, the guides to finding a real estate photographer in Austin and finding one in San Antonio go deeper on the local detail, and this post answers the broader question of who to call.
Can one company cover both Austin and San Antonio?
Yes, JRP covers both cities with local crews, which matters for teams and brokerages whose listings span the I-35 corridor. An agent who works both markets gets the same visual standard, the same booking process and the same point of contact, rather than juggling two vendors who each do things differently.
That consistency is useful for personal branding too. When every listing on your page, Austin or San Antonio, looks like it came from the same place, your marketing reads as a single brand. For a broader look at how the two regions compare, Central Texas versus Central Florida real estate photography explains what changes between them.
What does JRP shoot for Central Texas listings?
JRP shoots the full range of listing media, and agents can choose the package that fits the property.
- Real estate and architectural photography for the gallery, with careful handling of bright windows and open floor plans.
- Cinematic video for listings that deserve a story, including larger homes and lifestyle properties.
- Drone photo and aerial video to show lot lines, pools, views and surrounding neighborhoods. Every flight is flown by an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot insured for commercial aerial work.
- Matterport 3D tours and floor plans for buyers who are relocating or cannot attend a first showing.
Larger rural and hill-country properties benefit from aerials more than most. The post on photographing acreage, ranch and barndominium properties in Central Texas explains how to show land honestly, and it is worth reading before you book a shoot on a large parcel.
How do you prepare a Central Texas listing for the shoot?
Prepare it the way you would for a buyer who walks in and decides in seconds. Open the blinds, turn on the lights, clear the counters and put away personal items. For exteriors, mow, trim and move vehicles, trash cans and hoses out of sight, and tell the crew in advance if the best feature is a view or a pool so it gets the right light.
If the property has a gate or a water feature, mention it when you book so access and drone planning are handled before the day. Listing galleries are delivered within 24 hours, video in 48 to 72 hours. Larger properties take a little longer.
