Many couples love the idea of getting a fun aerial shot of their wedding, especially if they are having their ceremony outdoors. However, before you go and hire a drone photographer at your wedding or ask a friend to use theirs to capture some images, keep reading. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider Safety First<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before hiring anyone to take drone photos on your wedding day, you need to ensure that the drone operator is professionally and properly trained to operate the drone. If not, there are risks involved especially if an accident should occur. The drone pilot should have an established safety plan, insurance, knowledge of how to operate the vehicle, and how to coordinate with the venue managers, wedding photographers and the couple.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get the Proper Insurance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drone operators, like any other wedding vendor, should have personal property and liability insurance for a commercial unmanned aerial vehicle. Insurance is important in case something or someone gets hit or injured by the drone. This way the operator is covered and the damaged object will be repaired. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6251&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be Mindful of the Weather<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seasons don\u2019t matter when it comes to using a drone since they fly just as well in cold weather as they do in warmer weather. What does matter is the weather conditions on your wedding day. While this should be an obvious point if there are high winds, snow, or rain on your wedding day you should immediately nix drone photography. It\u2019s always better to play it safe than take a risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only Use Them Outdoors<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though drones are small and technically could fit inside they should only be used outdoors. Even if your venue has a high ceiling it\u2019s not worth the risk of having someone operate the drone inside. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t Take Any Close-Ups<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leave the close-ups to your wedding photographer and wedding videographer. Drones should be used for those unique overhead aerial shots of your ceremony, or you and your new spouse during outdoor photos. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that drones are loud and can become a disruption, especially during your ceremony and discuss the times you plan to have the drone in operation. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pros of Drone Wedding Photography <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drone photography and videography can offer a unique perspective of your wedding that no one else can achieve for you. It can capture an aerial view of your walk down the aisle, a cool behind-the-scenes perspective of you and your spouse posing for your wedding photos or a fun way to capture guests mingling during your cocktail hour. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do decide to hire a drone photographer for your wedding be sure to first discuss your plan with your wedding photographer, videographer and the banquet manager at your New Jersey wedding venue. By taking extra precautions you can capture unique photos and videos from your big day!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drone photography can capture a unique perspective on your wedding day, before hiring
