Before we get to the fun part, let’s talk safety—because, let’s face it, drones are basically tiny flying robots with cameras. And while that sounds super cool, they can also be risky if not operated by a pro. The last thing you want is your flower girl dodging a drone in mid-flight, right? 😂

Step one: hire a professional drone operator. Trust me, you’ll want someone who knows exactly what they’re doing—because while those aerial shots are going to be epic, your guests’ safety is even more important. Plus, a skilled operator will know how to get the best shots while keeping things calm and cool on the ground.

Now that you’ve locked in a drone pro, here’s something people often forget: make sure they’re insured. Drones are fun, but accidents happen. And the last thing you need on your wedding day is an unexpected expense because a drone decided to take a nosedive! 😳

Ask your drone operator if they have liability and personal property insurance. Trust me, checking this off your list early on will let you breathe easier when your big day arrives. You’ve got enough to worry about—leave the drone logistics to the pros!

Planning a winter wonderland wedding? Good news—drones don’t care about the cold! ☃️ So, if you’re dreaming of those magical aerial shots of snow-dusted trees and cozy, candlelit ceremonies, you don’t have to worry. Just make sure the drone’s batteries are warmed up before they take flight, and your photographer will be able to capture those dreamy winter views from above.

Here’s where drones really shine: they can capture your entire venue in one sweeping, cinematic shot that regular cameras just can’t compete with. Imagine a breathtaking shot of your guests arriving, the bride’s walk down the aisle, or even that perfect sunset backdrop as you say “I do.” 🌅

Got a creative idea for a shot? Share it with your photographer! Drones open up a world of possibilities—from bird’s-eye views of your guests on the dance floor to wide-angle shots of your venue’s landscape, giving you wedding photos and videos that are truly one-of-a-kind.

While your drone operator is busy getting that perfect aerial angle, it’s a good idea to have a visual observer on hand. This person can help keep an eye on the drone, making sure everything goes smoothly while the operator focuses on getting those epic shots. It’s a simple, yet crucial step to ensure your drone photos turn out as flawless as your day. ✨
