The photographer's newest friend and the wedding industry's newest fad! Millennials love to stay on top of the trends and set themselves apart from their friends when it comes to planning their special day. Many contemplate adding a drone to their expenses, since the resultant imagery is spectacular. Drones are all the craze and can assist in getting aerial shots that your professional photographer might not be able to reach. Views of the venue from high above, a picture of all your guests simultaneously, and a scenic bride-and-groom shot are always crowdpleasers! We advise that you communicate with your photographer to ensure the drone driver has a plan in place so it doesn't disrupt your ceremony. Drone Insurance is recommended though, since the unmanned aerial vehicle runs the risk of causing damages. All in all, have a safety plan in place, encourage clear communication between the photographer and drone driver, and have insurance to make sure all goes smoothly on your special day.
