Alta Vista Virtual Tours Expands Beyond Photography to Become Full-Service Media Company

Rebranding as Alta Vista Media, the company now offers video production, digital marketing, aerial videography, virtual staging and 3D tour services

San Jose, CA – July 14, 2025 – Alta Vista Virtual Tours, a leading photography company serving the Bay Area for over a decade, today announced its transformation into Alta Vista Media, a comprehensive real estate media production company. The expansion represents a strategic evolution to meet growing client demand for integrated visual storytelling across multiple platforms.

"We've watched our clients' needs evolve from static photography to dynamic, multi-channel content strategies," said Bernardo Grijalva, Founder and Creative Director of Alta Vista Media. "This transition allows us to be their complete visual partner, from initial concept through final delivery across all media formats."

The newly rebranded Alta Vista Media will continue to offer its acclaimed photography services while adding video production, motion graphics, aerial video production, virtual staging, 3D tours and digital marketing strategy. The company has invested in state-of-the-art video equipment and expanded its team to include videographers, editors, and digital artist.

"Photography remains at our core, but we're now equipped to tell complete stories through video, audio, and digital experiences," Grijalva explained. "Whether a client needs a real estate shoot, a brand documentary, or a full social media campaign, we can deliver it all under one roof."

The transition comes as businesses increasingly seek integrated media solutions to reach audiences across multiple touch points. Alta Vista Media's expanded services include real estate video production, corporate video production, aerial video production and 3D virtual tours.

Existing photography clients will see no disruption to their services, while new clients can access the full spectrum of media production capabilities. The company plans to maintain its current studio space while adding a dedicated video production facility by Q4 2025.

Can the Sky be Blue?

The office of Tim McGuire approached us with a request to capture some aerial images that take in some the natural beauty and hills that surround this charming suburban residence in Pleasanton, CA. The problem was that when it came to being shoot day, the sky was anything but, beautiful. Actually it was downright overcast and gray, a typical dilemma a lot of Northern California photographers face during these wet winter months. Rest assured, knowing we had their listing best interest in mind, we took some creative licensing when came to doctoring up the sky. In the end they were happy and the listing client client was happy. You can view the tour here:
