Have you ever thought what your wedding or event venue looks like from above?
I use the little power house that is the DJI Mini 2 - photo of the drone I use below
Drone - dji Mini 2
The dji Mini 2 is an amazing little drone to fly and it’s been one of the best investments I’ve made in recent years.
To be honest it’s my first proper drone so I can’t really compare it to others but it works well for me and my business. The Mini 2 is small, relatively quiet, lightweight and can fly in quite heavy winds, which is handy when working in the UK.
I have only flown one other, smaller ‘toy’ drone before which was a great little drone to practice with as there were no automated flying aids; which help it stay in the air - the first time I took off I almost lost it and I had to retrieve it many times from neighbours houses and the top of my bathroom roof!
I bought it to learn how to fly a drone on the advise from a model shop in Dartford, Kent. It was a good investment to teach me how to fly and makes the dji Mini 2 so easy and lets me just concentrate on getting the image or video I need and so far i’ve not had any need to climb a tree to get it back.
The stabilised, 4K camera really does a great job at keeping the footage still when filming or shooting stills at a wedding venue or event space. I just pop my phone onto the controller, link it up and away you go…
Below are more drone shots from weddings and corporate events i’ve been lucky enough to work at.
Having drone shots of your big day or event will give you that different perspective that sets it apart from others.
It will set the scene of the day and elevate your cherished wedding album.
Are you getting married at your favourite church and want to get a birds eye view of the historic building?
Is your big day at a lovely Castle, a manor house or a golf course? if the answer is yes, you will absolutely love the views you get from the sky above and it really does give you a sense of where you said ‘I do’.
I made the cash investment into a drone and all the insurances that come with it a few years ago as I wanted to set myself apart and have a little something unique that will make your gallery that bit more special.
Drone photography or video won’t cost you any extra as I include it in all my wedding and commercial work and you can enjoy these photos (weather permitting of course) of your big day along with the more traditional ground floor view - approximately 5’’ 8’ high from the ground :)
