Real estate photography in Anmore

Anmore is a village of acre-plus lots above Port Moody, on the way up to Buntzen Lake. The houses are large, the trees are larger, and almost every property is set well back behind them. The defining photographic problem here is simply that the street view shows a driveway and a hedge.

Aerial solves most of it. From above, an Anmore property becomes a house with a roofline, a clearing, a treeline and a relationship to the lake road — which is the thing a buyer is imagining. On the ground the work is the approach and the outdoor space, both of which tend to be the reason someone chose Anmore over Port Moody proper.

A detached shop or a second structure is common on an Anmore lot and is often part of why someone bought it. Those want their own frames, including the interior where it is finished, because a buyer looking at acre-lot property in this village is usually looking for exactly that.

In summer the road up to Buntzen Lake carries real traffic at weekends. For a shoot it changes nothing except access and parking, but for scheduling a mid-week morning is a calmer proposition than a Saturday afternoon.
