Local To West Tennessee
Bates Drone Solutions is a locally owned and operated drone services company proudly serving West Tennessee. Founded by Jacob Bates, a certified drone pilot with deep roots in the region, the business is built on a strong understanding of the communities it serves.
Jacob’s journey began in Jackson, later taking him through Lexington, and ultimately to Medina, where he now lives with his wife, daughter, and their golden retriever. His local background allows him to bring a personal touch, reliability, and a commitment to quality in every project.
At Bates Drone Solutions, the focus is on delivering high-quality aerial imagery and data with professionalism, safety, and attention to detail—helping clients see their world from a new perspective.
What Makes Us Different?
At Bates Drone Solutions, we believe aerial photography should be more than just images—it should tell a story.
We bring humanity into both business and photography, capturing not just properties, but the moments and meaning behind them. Whether it’s a piece of family land passed down through generations or a new chapter in your life, we approach every project with care and respect for what it represents.
We take the time to get to know our clients—their background, their vision, and the stories that make each project unique. That connection allows us to create imagery that feels personal, not transactional.
Rooted in West Tennessee values, we pride ourselves on building lasting relationships and delivering an experience that feels familiar from the very first conversation. It’s professional work with a personal touch—Southern hospitality at its finest.
