Growing up along the rugged Northern California coastline gave me an early appreciation for natural beauty. Photography has been a hobby since my teenage years.
In 2016, I began exploring drone piloting and it completely expanded my capabilities. Being able to fly a few hundred feet up for aerial shots opens up amazing new perspectives.
For any shoot, my goal is to showcase what makes the location special through vivid imagery. Whether with sweeping coastal views or intimate details on the ground, I aim to instill shots with a sense of place. My technical skills allow creative framing with precision.
Clients appreciate the results I deliver safely and on schedule. The pristine coastal environments that first sparked my interest still influence my style. My work strives to blend technical skill with an artistic eye.
Let’s make your visions come to life!

A bit about Ritter Aerial Video:

I have worked with Mitchell for many years - his piloting skill, attention to detail and calm demeanor never cease to impress me. He is an excellent drone pilot, and always remains calm even when under stress. His drone piloting abilities always exceed my expectations. Mitchell is also an incredibly kind and honest person to work with. Mitchell and I worked together on the local award winning short film “Dust Angel”. All of the aerial photography in Dust Angel was done by Mitchell, and it really be brought the film to life.

Mitchell is an expert in his craft, whether it be photography, drone piloting, capturing raw moments on video or just making the subject feel comfortable. I am not one who enjoys being in front of the lens, but if Mitchell is the photographer, I feel comfortable, at ease and confident. Highly recommend for any of your multi media needs!!!
