About

Meet DJ Riley

Founder, filmmaker and FAA Part 107 licensed drone pilot. Based in Woodland, WA.

DJ's story

DJ Riley founded NW Drone & Media in Woodland, Washington, with a simple idea: the biggest days of people's lives deserve to be filmed with care — on the ground and from the air.

Today DJ films weddings, community events and local businesses across Portland, Vancouver WA and the surrounding areas. He's the person behind the camera, the licensed pilot flying the drone, and the editor cutting your film — so the vision stays the same from the first call to the final export.

Whether it's Jake and Kenna's wedding day or the Port of Woodland's end-of-summer social, the goal is the same: a film that feels like being there.
