Our Story

Get to know the purpose—and the people—behind ECI Media.

Living room with large window showing trees outside, light gray sofa, light gray armchair, side table with lamp, and patterned rug.

Founder Elan Irving has a simple belief: real estate agents deserve more from their media partner than beautiful pictures.

They deserve someone who understands the pressure behind every listing.

The deadlines. The seller expectations. The last-minute changes. The importance of making a strong first impression—and the fact that every listing represents more than the property. It represents the agent behind it.

That understanding is at the heart of everything we do.

Based in Fredericksburg, Virginia, ECI Media provides professional real estate photography, video, 3D tours, floor plans, drone photography, and marketing media designed to help agents bring listings to market with confidence.

We serve real estate professionals throughout the DMV and Virginia’s D.C.-to-Richmond corridor, with additional service along North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, including Emerald Isle, Swansboro, Morehead City, and surrounding communities.

Our job is to help properties stand out, capture buyers’ attention, and make it easier for them to imagine themselves at home.

But our mission has never been simply to create great listing media.

We stay ahead of the tools, technology, platforms, and marketing trends shaping real estate so our clients can market their properties better, serve their sellers well, and build a recognizable brand that helps lead to the next listing—not just the current sale.

Let’s Do Something Remarkable

Whether you have one listing coming to market or are looking for a long-term media partner, we would love to help you present your properties—and your brand—at their very best.

Beautiful media. Dependable service. A partner who understands.
