It’s always great working with old friends who have grown to be a success in their own right. So when Audrey called me to create a tour of her beloved island, Russell Island, I knew I had to come through.
As a videographer with a passion for showcasing hidden gems, my recent project led me to the enchanting Russell Island, nestled in the embrace of the Saint Claire River. With the privilege of filming and flying a drone over this private Michigan island, I had the opportunity to capture its unique beauty from a perspective that truly does justice to its charm.
In Audrey’s Footsteps: Working with Audrey Stefanko was an absolute delight. Documenting her adventures in real estate on Russell Island has been a treat from the start. Audrey’s commitment to showcasing the island’s exclusive allure is truly commendable, and I felt fortunate to be a part of this project. Through the lens, I witnessed not only the captivating landscapes but also Audrey’s growth as she shared the wonders of this hidden paradise. She has become quite the host of her own video adventure series.
Flying a drone over Russell Island allowed me to unveil its beauty in ways that ground-level shots simply cannot match. The absence of cars on the island created an unspoiled canvas for the drone to glide over, capturing the lush greenery, the meandering river, and the unique layout of the cottages. The bird’s-eye view brought out the intimate connection between the island and the river, a sight that is both calming and awe-inspiring.
Russell Island’s exclusivity, with access limited to property owners and their guests, adds an air of mystery and privilege to the footage. The ferry rides, the golf carts dotting the landscape, and the carefully preserved cottages – all became integral parts of the visual story, painting a picture of a community in harmony with its surroundings.
Audrey’s Impact: Incorporating Audrey’s perspective into the video added depth and authenticity to the narrative. Her dedication to the island and its community is evident. Audrey’s mission to share the Russell Island experience is not only a testament to her love for the place but also contributes to a journey towards gaining more notoriety and visibility on the web.
Working with Audrey not only allowed me to capture the island’s beauty but also witness the growth of a real estate adventurer dedicated to sharing this exclusive slice of paradise with the world. Russell Island, with its charm and allure, has become a timeless story told through the lens, and I am grateful to have been a part of this cinematic journey.
