Founded in 2014, Extreme Aerial Productions, LLC is a professional aerial drone video and photography company based in Scottsdale, Arizona. We work in all 50 states, are FAA-approved for commercial drone operations and backed by the best aviation insurance money can buy.
At Extreme Aerial, we are committed to delivering the best results for our clients by being attentive to their needs and adopting a detail-oriented and professional approach. Our years of expertise in the industry and top-of-the-line, advanced drone equipment means our clients always receive the most professional data, delivered in the form of high quality drone photography and videography.
Our drone operators have expertise doing drone TOPO’s, checking crops and collecting aerial data in a wide range of industries. We complete complex roof inspections and are now using drone technology to create engineering-grade design from LiDAR collection and photogrammetry, managed by our in-house geospatial team.
We always strive for perfection and can translate your idea into a gorgeous, impactful digital medium.
"Mark and his team went above and beyond capturing and delivering amazing quality videos for a master planned community. I was very impressed with the professionalism, friendliness and attention to detail that Mark demonstrated. Truly a fantastic job was done and we look forward to working with Extreme Aerial Productions again."

Meet the Geeks (Our Drone Pilots)
We are perfectionists, geeks who actually love the technology, RC and camera equipment that we use every day as we fly our drones. We are blessed that we have been able to turn a hobby we love into a career that allows us to have fun! (Plus we love buying gadgets. Just check out all of our Drones & Equipment.)

Bryce Parker
Pilot
Bryce Parker, a native Arizonian, Blackhawk pilot, and soldier of the year, has joined the ranks of EAP.
Bryce Parker played soccer for Pima College, where he studied mechanical and electro-mechanical design. He joined the Army Reserves in 2014 and served with the 492nd Civil Affairs Battalion, where he worked as a Civil Affairs Specialist (38B).
In 2015, Bryce was selected to compete for the “Soldier of the Year” competition in the United States Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (USACAPOC). Needless to add, he took first place! A few months later he competed once again, this time against the top of the top in each command, and once again, he took first place! Later that year he represented the Army Reserve at the Department of the Army Best Warrior Competition.
Bryce was accepted into flight school in 2017 and currently flies the UH-60 Blackhawk for the Arizona National Guard. He lives with his wife Sydney. They both share a love of the outdoors, and enjoy camping, hiking, going on adventures with their dog scout, and flying drones.
Jasmin Thompson
The Drone Chick
Jasmine was born in Kentucky but has been an Arizona resident for the last 22 years – that makes her a native now! She has been a full time drone pilot for the past two years, and is passionate about being creative and always challenging herself. In her role here at Extreme Aerial, she is excited to be flying the latest and greatest in drone technology and loves that there are constantly new “toys” to play with as we stay up-to-date with new equipment and drone tech.
If you see Jasmine, make sure to say hi. Her bubbly personality is infectious and she will happily answer any questions you have. Once she’s safely landed the drone, of course.
Mark Taylor
Chief Geek
Mark’s passion for photography started when his first son was born. As his boys grew up, and their passion for RC became a growing obsession, Mark decided to turn an adolescent hobby into a serious venture. After several years of training and developing his skills, Extreme Aerial Productions was born.
Angie Raceen
Creative Director
Angie got her start in the film world as a production person with a local start-up media entertainment company, shortly after earning her degree in Electronic Media & Film in 2013 from Northern Arizona University (NAU). She joined EAP in 2015, editing aerial footage into a multitude of different styles of videos based on our client's needs, always bringing together one stunning final story. Be it from the air the ground and now under the sea.
Greg Reverdiau
Instructor/UAV and Manned Aircraft Pilot
Greg is a pilot here at Extreme Aerial Productions and helps with our training programs as he is the owner and lead instructor for Pilot Institute, an online ground school that provides training for unmanned and manned pilots. With over 15 years of classroom experience in the collegiate environment, and over 5000 students taught online, Greg has been helping students from over 90 countries receive their pilot certification.
April Taylor
The Boss
As an art graduate and overall perfectionist April keeps us all on the straight and narrow and has become proud of what she initially thought was a childish endeavor by her husband Mark. April’s great eye for detail comes in very handy when framing that perfect shot as the camera op when we use our MoVI Controller or Mimic etc. on set. She keeps all the paperwork in check and supports bookings when the boys are out “playing” on location. We call it hard work!
