3 WAYS DRONE TECHNOLOGY ELEVATES YOUR WEDDING VIDEO AND PHOTOS
In recent years, drone technology has revolutionised the field of photography and videography, offering exciting new perspectives and opportunities. When it comes to weddings, using drones for capturing aerial shots has become increasingly popular. The unique vantage point and stunning imagery that drones provide can add a touch of magic to your special day. In this blog post, we will explore the top three benefits of incorporating drone photography and videography into your wedding, making it an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.
WHAT IS DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY?
Drone photography and videography is a relatively new and exciting form of visual storytelling that has rapidly gained popularity in recent years. As the name suggests, drone photography involves using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with high-resolution cameras to capture images and video from an aerial perspective. It offers a unique perspective that was previously only possible with expensive equipment such as helicopters and aeroplanes. With drones, photographers and videographers can capture stunning images and videos of landscapes, cityscapes, events, and more, from a bird’s-eye perspective.
WHEN WOULD WE USE A DRONE AS A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER AND VIDEOGRAPHER?
We believe incorporating drone footage can add a unique and stunning perspective to your wedding photography and videography. For weddings we tend to use the drone to capture your venue, the elevated perspective it creates is perfect to capture not only the venue but its surrounding grounds. Being able to get up to such heights gives us the ability to capture both photos and videos of the whole venue which are important in telling the story of your wedding day.
Venue shots are usually included at the beginning of your wedding video, take a look at Sapna & Gagan’s wedding trailer where we use glimpses of footage to help set the scene and capture their outdoor arrival. With photography, the drone height also allows us to take bigger group shots of your whole wedding party, and for outdoor entrances.
3 BENEFITS OF DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY:
1. Aerial Shots
Drones offer an incredible opportunity to capture mesmerising aerial views of your wedding venue, outdoor ceremonies, and reception spots. They effortlessly soar above, capturing footage of the surroundings, and showcasing the picturesque landscapes and stunning scenery. This unique perspective yields creative and distinctive footage for your wedding trailer and final video, providing an unparalleled view impossible to achieve with conventional cameras. Imagine the grandeur of panoramic views showcasing your venue or the allure of a bird’s-eye view as you make your grand entrance. These shots add a distinctive grandeur, creating unforgettable moments within your wedding album and video, ensuring timeless memories for years to come.
2. Capturing Unique & Creative Memories with Cinematic Video
By integrating drone photography and videography into your wedding, you unlock a realm of creative opportunities. This technology allows us to capture diverse angles and heights, presenting your venue, décor, and guests in ways traditional methods cannot match. These inventive shots infuse your wedding album with a distinctiveness that truly encapsulates the essence of your special day. With drones, we craft cinematic footage featuring seamless movements and dynamic camera perspectives, elevating the production quality of your wedding video for a more immersive and visually captivating narrative. Offering a fresh viewpoint, drones transform even mundane settings into extraordinary scenes, enabling us to create artistic, breathtaking, and unforgettable photos and videos.
3. Enhanced Storytelling
Incorporating aerial shots and dynamic footage into wedding photos, videos, and albums enhances the overall storytelling experience. Drones play a crucial role in crafting a more comprehensive and immersive narrative of the wedding day, capturing the ambience, emotions, and pivotal moments from a distinct vantage point. This different perspective adds depth and richness to the storytelling, offering a captivating view that beautifully complements the traditional coverage, making the memories even more vivid and compelling.
HOW DO WE ENSURE LEGAL COMPLIANCE AND SAFETY WHEN FILMING AT WEDDING VENUES?
We take great care to ensure all drone footage adheres to relevant laws and regulations. We inform all our clients of the permissions needed from wedding venues which enables us to fly the drones, and get these sorted prior to the wedding day. Our drone pilots are licensed and follow all necessary guidelines to ensure the safety of the wedding guests, venue, and equipment. Drone flight is highly weather-dependent. While our video packages include drone footage, please note that weather conditions are beyond our control.
