Peter Cade is an established Devon and Cornwall photographer and videographer with 25 years of dedicated experience working across the South West. Over this time, Peter has collaborated with a diverse range of clients and agencies, delivering high-quality photography and video that meets their specific goals.

Peter specialises in video and photography across several key areas: aerial, health, lifestyle, and property. As a fully CAA-licensed drone operator, he brings exceptional expertise to aerial photography and aerial videography, capturing striking overhead perspectives of Devon’s rolling countryside, Cornwall’s dramatic coastlines, commercial developments, estates, and large properties. His drone work adds real impact to tourism promotions, land and property marketing, corporate projects, and environmental campaigns throughout the region.

In lifestyle photography and lifestyle videography, Peter creates natural, story-driven visuals that resonate with audiences. Having worked with health and wellness brands such as Nuffield Health, travel companies including TUI and Brittany Ferries, and various lifestyle clients, he produces authentic images and footage ideal for websites, social media, brochures, and editorial features in Devon, Cornwall, Exeter, Plymouth, and the wider South West.

Property photography and property videography remain a cornerstone of Peter’s work. He delivers crisp, professionally lit interiors, appealing exteriors, virtual tours, and seamless aerial integration that help estate agents, developers, and homeowners showcase homes - from coastal retreats and rural conversions to modern new builds - in the best possible light. In a competitive South West market, Peter’s property visuals consistently highlight standout features like sea views, generous gardens, architectural character, and location benefits.

Peter possesses unique, in-depth knowledge of locations, weather patterns, and lighting conditions throughout Devon and Cornwall. He understands exactly when golden-hour light will catch the cliffs near Land’s End, how morning mist enhances Dartmoor’s tors, or when an incoming Atlantic front might dramatically alter a coastal shoot. This regional insight enables Peter to plan efficiently, adapt quickly to changing conditions, and make the most of every available moment - delivering outstanding results even in demanding or unpredictable environments.

Peter aims to work fast and deliver as soon as possible - sometimes within hours of the shoot. Clients in fast-moving sectors such as property sales, commercial launches, tourism campaigns, and lifestyle marketing particularly value this rapid turnaround, allowing them to meet tight deadlines without compromising quality.

Peter can work in difficult situations, using strong communication skills and extensive shoot management experience to produce the best content. Whether coordinating multi-person commercial video productions, managing unpredictable outdoor conditions during lifestyle sessions, or safely executing drone flights in complex locations, Peter keeps projects organised, professional, and focused on achieving the strongest possible visuals.

He holds a full UK driving licence, passport and a valid CAA drone licence - ensuring all aerial operations are fully compliant, insured, and conducted to the highest safety standards across Devon, Cornwall, and beyond.

In an industry increasingly influenced by AI-generated conceptual imagery, Peter remains firmly committed to the personal, human-led approach. He ensures that every project is tailored precisely to the client’s requirements rather than relying on generic outputs. Clients retain full usage rights to all final photography and videography delivered, with complete freedom to use the material across websites, print, social channels, advertising, and beyond.

Pricing is straightforward and transparent. Peter provides fixed quotes with no hidden extras or surprise charges. With day rates starting from £300, he offers outstanding value on professional photography and videography.

Whether you are seeking a trusted Devon and Cornwall photographer for lifestyle storytelling, a CAA-licensed drone operator for compelling aerial footage, a specialist in property photography to accelerate sales, or a reliable videographer for health, tourism, or commercial projects, Peter Cade delivers dependable, high-impact results every time.

Peter welcomes enquiries from clients across Devon, Cornwall, Exeter, Plymouth, Torbay, the South Hams, North Devon, and the wider South West for photography, videography, drone services, and more.
