Drone Wedding Photography

About The Drone Wedding Photography Service

As a photographer, I understand the importance of capturing every special moment on your big day. That’s why I now offer drone wedding photography services, to help you capture all the beauty and emotion of your wedding from a unique perspective.

The drone wedding photography service allows me to take stunning aerial photos and videos of your ceremony and reception. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, I can capture everything from the moment you walk down the aisle to when you share your first kiss as husband and wife – it can all be discreetly filmed from above with my drone.

We Work With Your Wedding Photographer

In order to make the most of our time at the location and to arrange the best shots, we can collaborate with your on-location wedding photographer and communicate with them directly to develop a working plan for the day where the traditional wedding photographer and drone photographer work in tandem.

The possibilities offered by aerial photography will completely eclipse the results offered by conventional wedding photography. The cinematic beauty of aerial footage is unmatched, as the drone captures the landscape and stunning vistas around the wedding, and give you a far more dramatic feeling of scale. We can photograph your entire venue, all of your delighted guests, and perhaps even a breathtaking sunset at the end!

About The Drone

I use a high-end DJI Phantom 4 Advanced drone, which is a quadcopter drone equipped with a 1-inch 20MP mini DSLR camera capable of shooting incredibly smooth, stable video at both full HD 1080p and 4K at 60fps to ensure that every shot is crisp and clear. Plus, it has tracking capabilities so I can easily follow you around during the ceremony or reception without having to worry about losing sight of my subject.

I make sure that safety is my top priority when using my drones for wedding photography. I am a fully insured and fully qualified drone pilot registered with the Civil Aviation Authority and I always adhere to strict safety protocols when flying a drone, whether that’s in the middle of nowhere or at a wedding. This ensures that everyone remains safe while still allowing me to get amazing shots from up above.

Oliver is great, there’s no other way to put it. Always on time and goes the extra mile at every opportunity. His editing skills are fantastic and his work consistently gets me instructions when I show potential clients our previous sales and the marketing material he has produced for my company.

Always a great professional service offered by Oliver. He captured detailed images of our showroom apartments and communal areas which had a massive impact on the marketing and generated lots of interest from potential residents. He comes highly recommended and look forward to working with him again in the future on other schemes.

Oliver was great, one can clearly see his experience. He advised us on how to arrange our rooms for our first air bnb venture.He willingly staged the kitchen area to really highlight the potential of our property. I will certainly recommend to use his services.

I found the quality of Oliver's work to be extremely good. He has an excellent eye for detail and knows how a room should be presented to show it off best. I found him to be very pleasant to deal with, no faff and turned round the photos quickly. I've just booked him again for another of my properties. Would highly recommend.

I have worked with Oliver closely over the past 12 months and he has become our go-to guy when it comes to photographing our property portfolio. We started out as a new company and had issues with a couple of photographers before coming across Oliver. Since his first job, he has photographed over a dozen of our properties. The images are always of a brilliant quality which we use across our adverts, website and in brochures. Oliver not only delivers with quality photos but always is on time for appointments, is not afraid to be hands on when needed and does not rush. Cannot be recommended enough!

Important Points

Drones should only be operated on calm, clear days and cannot fly in poor weather, so if it is raining or the wind is too strong on the day, I’m afraid the drone will remain on the ground. We do not take risks with people’s safety so no chances will be taken.

Some venues do not allow drones – whether that’s due to overhead cables, trees, or being located within a National Park (where drones are not allowed to fly), or just the venue’s own rules. Therefore please ensure you get permission from the venue before hiring us.

In the UK, you must only hire someone with both the relevant insurance, licence and permission from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Don’t be tempted to let a friend bring their drone along to film your wedding – if there’s an accident, you will likely be personally liable for any injury or damage caused. All of our training and papers are up to date and can be supplied to clients or venues if necessary.

Why Hire a Drone Wedding Photographer?

As a wedding photographer, I understand the importance of capturing every special moment on your big day. That’s why I offer drone my drone wedding photography services as an additional service to help you capture all the beauty and emotion of your wedding from a unique perspective.

Drone wedding photography offers many additional benefits over traditional ‘ground-level’ wedding photography, including:

A Unique Perspective

With drone wedding photography, I can capture stunning aerial photos and videos of your ceremony and reception. From the moment you walk down the aisle to when you share your first kiss as husband and wife, I can capture it all from above with my drone. This allows me to get shots that would otherwise be impossible with traditional photography.

High-Quality Images

I use a high-end DJI Phantom 4 Advanced drone, which is equipped with a 1-inch 20MP mini DSLR camera capable of shooting incredibly smooth, stable video at both full HD 1080p and 4K at 60fps to ensure that every shot is crisp and clear. Plus, it has tracking capabilities so I can easily follow you around during the ceremony or reception without having to worry about losing sight of my subject.

Creative Shots

With drone wedding photography, I can capture creative shots from angles and heights that would otherwise be impossible with traditional photography. This allows me to create unique and beautiful images that will help you remember your special day for years to come. Plus, I can also use my drones to capture stunning aerial footage of your venue or the surrounding area for an even more breathtaking experience.

So if you’re looking for a unique way to capture your special day, consider hiring me for drone wedding photography.

What Happens On The Big Day?

Setting Up & Planning

When you hire me for drone wedding photography, I will come to your venue nice and early to set up my drone before the ceremony. I will discuss the plan for the day with whoever is in charge, whether that is the bride and/or groom themselves, the best man, or a master of ceremonies. In this meeting we will decide when you would like the drone footage and when you do not – because while the drone is quiet, it will still be clearly audible when there is no background ‘hum’, so we only recommend flying during busy moments.

Filming Arrivals

Once everything is ready, I will take off and start capturing aerial footage of your special day. Often this will mainly be the outdoor elements such as the arrivals – to capture sweeping shots of the cars arriving for example, and then the next part we usually film is the guest arrivals.

The Ceremony

If you are having an outdoor wedding, then during the ceremony it can be possible to take shots from above as you walk down the aisle and exchange vows – if filmed from a distance to keep the drone from distracting you. However, we would usually recommend filming re-inactions after the actual vows have been exchanged, and leaving the real thing to the ground-level photography.

The Reception

After the ceremony, I can also capture creative aerial shots of your reception such as the first dance, cake cutting, and other special moments (if this is an outdoor wedding of course!).

Once I have captured all the footage I need, I will edit it together to create a beautiful video of your special day that you can keep forever.

Our clients say

I recently started working with Oliver after a long and drawn-out search for a new photographer. I need someone who can not only take great room shots but is also able to provide imaginative, evocative lifestyle photography and understands the requirements of twilight imagery. Oliver has a wide range of skills and can cope with all the usual complexities of interior shoots, and his laid-back yet professional manner has allowed me to develop my own styling and direction so that together we have created some of the best interior images I’ve ever used in over ten years of home sales. He listens well to feedback, suggests improvements on the next shoot and is a joy to work with.

Director

I have worked with Oliver for over two years now and each project he has photographed has been outstanding. His attention to detail, professionalism and creative talent are second to none and he has managed to bring many of my projects to life with his brilliant photography. Many thanks Oliver! I would definitely recommend you to anyone considering Interior or Property photography.
