Commercial Photography in Williston, ND & the Northern Plains
Professional commercial photography — including FAA-certified aerial drone work — for businesses across North Dakota, Montana, and beyond.
Photography That Builds Trust Before the First Conversation
Thompson Media Company started as a drone photography and videography operation — it is where Richard and Emily Thompson built their reputation in Williston before expanding into full-service marketing. Photography is still at the core of what we do, and we bring the same level of craft and attention to detail to every commercial shoot we take on.
When potential customers land on your website, your social media profiles, or your Google Business listing, the quality of your photography tells them everything they need to know about how you run your business. Blurry phone photos say something. Sharp, professional images say something else entirely. We help you make the right first impression.
We serve businesses across North Dakota, Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska. For Williston-area clients, there are no travel fees and we can be on-site quickly when timing matters.

FAA Part 107 Certified Drone Photography
Thompson Media Company holds FAA Part 107 commercial drone certification — the federal requirement for legally operating a drone for commercial purposes. This is not a hobby setup. We fly professional-grade equipment with the training, insurance, and authorizations to work safely on commercial, industrial, and construction sites.
Real Estate & Property
Aerial shots that show the full scope of a property — land, access, surroundings, and scale — in a way ground-level photography cannot match.
Construction & Industrial
Progress documentation, site overviews, and facility photography for energy companies, contractors, and industrial operations across the Bakken and beyond.
Agriculture & Land
Ranch and farm photography that captures the scale of the operation — fields, equipment, facilities, and the landscape that defines Northern Plains agriculture.
Commercial Facilities
Businesses that want to show their operation, location, and scale from an angle that builds immediate credibility with potential clients and partners.

Do you offer drone aerial photography?
Yes. Thompson Media Company holds FAA Part 107 commercial drone certification. We provide aerial photography and videography for real estate, construction, industrial facilities, agriculture, and any business that benefits from an elevated perspective.
How do I get the photos after the shoot?
Edited photos are delivered via a private online gallery within the agreed timeline. You receive high-resolution files suitable for print and web-optimized versions for digital use. Files are yours to keep and use commercially.
Can photography be combined with video or social media services?
Absolutely — and that is one of the strongest things we offer. Bundling photography with videography, social media management, or a website update means all your visual content is captured in one shoot, stays on-brand, and gets put to work across every channel at once.
