Do you want to add aerial photography to your special day? If so there are a few things that you should consider before hiring a Drone Operator.
Are drones permitted at your location? Although it sounds simple, it's worth double-checking as certain places have a general ban in place, which can influence your choice.
Will you and your visitors spend the day outside, at least in part? Drones are not appropriate for indoor flights at weddings because of the noise they generate when they fly and the wash from the props! A drone probably won't have much to offer you if you intend to spend the majority of the day indoors.
Does the area around your wedding site have enough room? Working across bigger open regions is where drones excel. The sub 250g rules mean that you can now overfly people and get closer than 50 meters.

Aerial images and videos can highlight your site and give your wedding coverage a superb dramatic, Hollywood feel. In a wedding video, a location seen from the air can frame the setting or give enormous wedding group poses much more dimension. Drones might not be the best option for you if your venue is in a densely populated area or doesn't have sufficient outdoor space. Although it might also be a wonderful choice to consider, many drone operators can employ photographic poles and masts of up to 15 or 20 metres in height.
Make sure that your wedding venue isn’t near a No Fly Zone. If your wedding is near a no-fly zone you might struggle to get a drone operator as it requires extra permissions to fly in those areas. It doesn’t mean that you can’t get a drone operator but it may incur extra costs as the operator will have to do a lot of administrative work.
When will you get married? It's true that the weather in the UK is unpredictable, but drones cannot fly in rain, high winds, fog, or snow, so keep that in mind while planning since weddings in the fall or winter require backup plans in case a drone gets grounded.
