An investigator's standard, applied to reality capture.
Valley Sceneworks was founded on a simple idea: the way you capture something matters as much as what you capture — especially when it has to hold up.
We're not just drone operators or a photography business. We're investigators who understand that process, accuracy, and professionalism are what make documentation hold up.
With more than 15 years across law enforcement and complex criminal-defense investigation as a licensed private investigator — including work supporting crash reconstruction — our founder built Valley Sceneworks to bring that same rigor to aerial and 3D documentation. In investigation, sloppy documentation loses cases. That discipline — verify, document, preserve, and be ready to defend your methods — is the foundation of everything we deliver.
That's why our forensic work is captured with admissibility in mind, why our mapping methodology is recorded and repeatable, and why we can stand behind our deliverables in a courtroom, a boardroom, or a job-site trailer. The same crew that can testify to the work also produces the honest, high-quality documentary photography and video — because precision and reliability serve every client, not just the legal ones.
We operate across Oregon's Willamette Valley, including Portland, Salem, and Eugene, and we're built to serve legal, commercial, and creative clients with equal seriousness.
