Built on a passion for visual storytelling and a commitment to making every client look their best — from day one to delivered files.
I started Orion Media because I saw a gap in the Capital Region — businesses and homeowners who needed professional-quality visuals but didn't have access to someone who could deliver cinematic results at a fair price, on a fast timeline, without cutting corners.
What began as a passion for filmmaking and photography turned into a full-service media company. Today, Orion Media covers everything from wedding films and real estate photography to drone aerials, 3D Matterport tours, commercial content, and event recaps — all under one roof.
Every project gets my personal attention. I'm the one behind the camera, the one in the edit suite, and the one who picks up the phone when you call. That's not going to change as we grow — because the reason clients keep coming back is that they know exactly who they're working with and what they're going to get.
Based in Cohoes, serving the entire Capital Region and beyond.

"I was very impressed with Orion Media and Ryan McHale and the drone photography work he did for me. He was on time for our appointment and listened to what type of shots I needed as he was covering a 121 acre, 31 lot property. He went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations and the photos were top-notch. I plan on referring him to other real estate agents and having him handle more work for me in the future."
"Orion Media is my go-to company for professional photos, drone videos, and 3D tours. It is great to work with a company that takes such pride in their work. Whether you are looking for a simple portrait shot, or something more complex like a full 3D virtual tour, Orion Media has the equipment and expertise to get it done right. Professional quality services from a company that is always willing to go the extra mile for their clients. I highly recommend their services!"
