The big deal about drones

The impossible made possible.
Not long ago, photos like this ⬆️ were impossible. Who would have thought that we could easily own and operate a tiny flying camera that can do this?! It’s wild.

Drones changed the game for wedding videographers. But can also do the same for photographers! They offer a completely unique perspective. Capturing the context, showing off a venue, symmetry, grandness… We especially love it for a walk down the isle shot. Acting as a kind of second/third shooter if you do it right!
