Thanks to the ever changing world of technology, making your wedding truly special is now easier than ever. Drone wedding photography allows you to take spectacular aerial videos and photographs, making it one of the best ways to immortalise your wedding day. However, there are risks that come with drone photography at a wedding, so you may want to weigh up the pros and cons before making your final decision.

Make The Most Of Your Wedding Venue

One of the best things about drone photography is that it allows you to capture photographs that a traditional camera can’t. Drones enable you to capture dynamic and illustrative videos and images, showcasing your wedding venue and surrounding location. Just imagine looking through your wedding album and seeing a sweeping aerial shot of the mountainside resort where your wedding took place!

Take Creative Videos And Images

Because drones allow you to take shots that would be impossible to take with an ordinary camera, you’ll be able to amp up the creativity and fun factor of your wedding photos and videos. For example, you’ll be able to gather your guests outside and organise them in fun and unique ways; spelling out words for example.

Drone Safety and Drone Certification

While drone photography adds a new dimension to your wedding photos, there are few important things you should know before hiring someone to capture those special moments during your wedding. In their most basic form, drones are virtually small helicopters with cameras attached to them. If the drone operator is not trained professionally, a disappointing wedding album will be the least of your concerns. A drone with an unqualified operator could result in an accident that might ruin a very special day, so always make sure that the person you hire has completed a drone aerial photography course.

Ask your drone operator the following questions:

  • Have they completed a drone aerial photography course?
  • Do they have all the relevant insurances?
  • Will there be an established safety plan for the wedding day?
