Why a Drone for Wedding Videography is the Ultimate Game-Changer

Before the drone, and its move towards the mainstream, we didn’t know we needed sweeping aerial shots in our wedding videography. But now, for us, we cannot imagine a world without jaw-dropping sky-high images full of the rolling hills, rivers, and forests that backdrop our couple’s wedding venues. Our clients adore how the drone can make their wedding video feel like a scene from a Hollywood movie. 

Indeed, incorporating aerial shots elevates the storytelling aspect, making every angle of your cinema wedding video appear as grandiose as your dream wedding video. Including such cutting-edge technology has become a significant part of our wedding videography packages, offering couples an expansive view of their special day.

Using a drone for wedding videography is very popular these days, with many of our couples choosing to have it as part of their storytelling wedding video package. But sometimes, we do experience couples who are on the fence about it. Drones add that cinematic touch, transforming a simple video into a wedding videography package brimming with luxury. Drones capture those unforgettable moments from a unique perspective, ultimately delivering high-quality storytelling that stands the test of time. Therefore, today, we thought we’d share why we believe you should at least consider involving a drone in your wedding videography.

Reasons to Think About Drone Video Production

A Drone Will Help You Not Miss a Thing

Wedding videography, in general, is useful for capturing every little detail, but a drone takes it to another level. It will be able to capture footage from a unique perspective, high in the sky, totally unobtrusively — creating truly natural reactions from your loved ones. In between those big moments, the drone can be left in the background, picking up special parts of your big day you almost certainly would have missed. On the flip side, a drone is still a relative novelty, so you’ll likely receive some very honest and excited reactions from your friends and family when they spot it, too.

Capture the Beauty of Your Wedding Venue

 Breathtaking is the best way to describe what a drone can do to your wedding videography. It can take any scene, any moment, any venue, and make it epic. When paired with a top-notch wedding video maker, the seamless melding of aerial shots with ground-level footage will truly captivate. They’ll be able to share how perfectly picturesque your wedding venue is by capturing it from a distance, zooming around it, and even flying through it! Embrace the essence of your chosen wedding theme, showcasing vibrant colors and lively moments that reflect your personal style. Whatever kind of venue you have chosen, a drone can take its representation on film to another level. Whether it’s an intimate beach wedding or a large event held at a mountainside resort, a drone can capture the very best that your venue has to offer, creating memorable wedding videos that will be the highlight of your bespoke wedding event page. 

 

Wedding Drones Can Take Shots a Photographer/Videographer Cannot

 

A human photographer or videographer simply cannot travel to the places a drone can. One moment it could be filming you walking down the aisle, the next it could be high up in the ceiling capturing the reactions of the whole of your wedding party. It could be shooting your friends and family while they pose for portraits outside your venue before sweeping up into the sky and filming the grandness of your location. Drone wedding videography is a fantastic way to capture every bit of your big-day destination in all its glory and splendor.

 

The Perfect Compliment to Storytelling or Documentary Style Videography

A drone works best in wedding videography when it is capturing behind-the-scenes, in-between moments. These candid shots can sometimes be as special, if not more wonderful than the posed ones, and they create the perfect visual for storytelling elements. Just imagine watching the footage of you and your partner walking into the woods to shoot your portraits, soundtracked by your exchange of vows, or a sweet story told by your partner about how you two met. It would be a uniquely personal moment that only a drone would have been able to capture so intimately.
