Riley Earl — Owner, REF Media Company
10+ years
Photography & video experience

Local Roots,
Professional Results

Hi, I'm Riley Earl, owner of REF Media Company. I moved to Penn Yan in 2020 and quickly fell in love with the Finger Lakes region. Photography and videography have been a passion of mine for over 10 years, and in 2020 I turned that passion into a full-time business.

Over the past several years I've had the opportunity to work with a wide range of local businesses — including wineries, breweries, restaurants, and tourism brands — creating photo and video content that helps them tell their story. Through that experience, I discovered a particular passion for real estate media.

Today, much of my work focuses on partnering with real estate agents and property owners to showcase homes at their very best. My goal is simple: provide a seamless client experience while delivering high-quality media that helps listings stand out, attract buyers, and sell faster.

Being based in Penn Yan allows me to work closely with agents and businesses across the Finger Lakes, and I'm always excited to help bring the next property to life.

Riley does a great job! Quick turnaround time, personable, and effective communicator. I've used him multiple times for drone photography and am constantly impressed with the shots he gets. He is aware of the lighting and even makes suggestions as to the best time of day to take photos & videos. Highly recommend!

Common Questions

Finished photos are normally delivered by the end of the next day and are guaranteed within 24 hours of the shoot. Video, floor plans, and 3D tours can require additional processing; when that happens, your photos can be delivered first and the remaining media is added to the same project as soon as it is ready.

You receive a private delivery page by email, and portal clients can also find every project in their account. Photos arrive already organized in a natural listing order and can be viewed before downloading. Download one image, the entire gallery, or web- and full-resolution sets; video, floor plans, 3D tours, and property-site links live beside the photos instead of being scattered across separate emails.

A standard residential property commonly receives 30–60 finished images, but the final count follows the home rather than an arbitrary limit. Larger homes, short-term rentals, detailed commercial spaces, and construction projects may need more. Duplicate angles and weak frames are removed so the delivered set is complete without being repetitive.

Yes. When speed matters, the finished photo gallery can be released first and the delivery message will clearly identify anything still processing. Video, floor plans, and tours are then added to the same project, so you do not need to manage a second property page or lose the original link.

Most photo-only residential shoots take about 45–75 minutes. Floor plans, drone coverage, video, 3D tours, larger properties, and detailed short-term-rental styling add time—often bringing a full package to 90 minutes or more. The order form uses the selected services and square footage to estimate the on-site time before scheduling.

Finish cleaning and styling before the appointment, clear counters and personal items, make beds, replace burned-out bulbs, open blinds, hide trash cans and pet supplies, move vehicles away from the front of the property, and tidy exterior spaces. The camera moves continuously through the home, so having every room ready when the shoot begins protects the schedule and produces a more consistent gallery.

Interiors can usually be photographed in most weather. Exterior quality, drone flights, waterfront views, and twilight sessions depend on light, wind, precipitation, visibility, and FAA restrictions. If only part of the media is affected, we can often complete the interiors and return for the weather-dependent portion. Natural-looking sky replacement is included on standard exterior photos when appropriate.

We understand schedules change. Please contact us as soon as possible to reschedule and we'll find a new time that works. We're flexible and always happy to accommodate when we can.

Yes. Add services from your portal or contact us before the appointment so enough time can be reserved. Pricing updates from the current rate card, and when the selected services match a package, the order can use the package price instead of charging every item separately.

We serve all of the Finger Lakes region, based out of Penn Yan, NY. This includes Seneca Lake, Keuka Lake, Cayuga Lake, Canandaigua Lake, and the surrounding communities. Have a property outside this area? Reach out and we'll see what we can do.

Your delivery is prepared for the project it was commissioned for—such as the property listing, rental marketing, company website, portfolio, or social channels. If another company, publication, homeowner, or third party wants to reuse the media for a different campaign, contact us so the appropriate usage can be confirmed.
