Zach Deaton

FAA-Certified Drone Pilot | Aerial Photographer & Videographer
Based in Cherokee County, Alabama

Hi, I’m Zach Deaton — owner and operator of Deaton’s Aerial Photography based in Centre, Alabama. I combine a love for technology, creativity, and community service to deliver high-quality aerial photography and videography to clients across Alabama and Georgia.

With certifications in Industrial Systems, Electrical Control Systems, and Fluid Power, I approach every project with a technical eye and a creative mindset.

Outside of drone work, I serve as a Logistics Manager at Cherokee Gin and Cotton Company and proudly serve as a volunteer firefighter with McCord's Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department — both of which keep me sharp, disciplined, and focused on safety. I also enjoy building software tools and creating custom prints, but make no mistake: Deaton’s Aerial Photography is a service I take seriously and personally. When I take on a client, I show up, follow through, and deliver — every time.

Deaton’s Aerial Photography was born out of my passion for building things and bringing ideas to life. From real estate and events to agriculture and scenic landscapes, my drone work is designed to highlight what matters most to you — safely, legally, and professionally.

Outside of work, I’m a proud dad and partner, a taco enthusiast, and a small-town guy with big goals.

Thanks for visiting my site. If you’re looking for a drone operator who’s skilled, down-to-earth, and easy to work with — you’re in the right place.
