Wedding Aerial Photography & Drone Wedding Video | Mindy’s Roadshow

Wedding Aerial Photography & Drone Wedding Video

Wedding aerial photography is one of the most exciting ways to capture your big day. With a licensed drone pilot and 4K cameras, Mindy’s Roadshow can add breathtaking aerial views of your venue, your guests and your special moments. From sweeping cinematic shots over the grounds to dramatic overhead group photos, wedding drone photography makes your wedding film and album truly stand out.

We can supply a dedicated drone and pilot as part of your package. It’s not just about checking availability – your safety, venue permissions and the weather all need to be carefully considered. Here’s what you need to know when adding wedding aerial photography in Norfolk to your plans.

Safety First – Fully Licensed & Insured Drone Operations

Drones are essentially mini helicopters, so safety is always our number one priority. We work within CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) rules and regulations, including appropriate permissions and insurance for aerial work.

• Pre-flight safety checks before every flight.
• Take-off and landing zones planned in advance.
• Operations kept within visual line-of-sight and below 400ft.
• Public liability insurance and risk awareness at all times.

All of this ensures your wedding drone photography is not only stunning, but also safe and fully compliant.

Is Your Venue Drone-Friendly?

Part of our pre-flight planning is checking whether your venue is suitable for drone flying. Some locations are simply not possible – for example, being next to an active airbase or in certain inner-city restricted zones.

For most countryside and rural venues across Norfolk and East Anglia, we’re able to fly as long as:

• We have a suitable take-off and landing area.
• We can keep the drone in sight at all times.
• We remain under 400ft and away from obvious hazards.

If you’re unsure whether your venue is drone-friendly, we’re happy to check maps, flight restrictions and speak with the venue to confirm what’s possible.

Weather & Drone Wedding Photography

Like all outdoor wedding photography, drones are affected by the Great British weather. Heavy rain or very strong winds will usually ground the drone for safety reasons.

• Rain: Heavy rain is a no-go for aerial work.
• Wind: We can usually fly safely up to around 25mph.
• Cold: Cold air actually gives the drone more lift, so winter weddings can still work well.

We’ll always be honest on the day – if the weather allows safe flying, we’ll get your aerial shots. If not, we’ll focus on beautiful ground-based video and photography instead.

Amazing Aerial Perspectives in 4K

The real reason couples choose wedding aerial photography is the cinematic, once-in-a-lifetime views. Adding a drone to your package gives you:

• Epic establishing shots of your venue and grounds.
• Overhead group photos with all your guests.
• Smooth tracking shots of your arrival, confetti and drinks reception.
• Romantic couple portraits at sunset, captured from above.

Shot in crisp 4K resolution, these aerial clips sit perfectly alongside your cinematic wedding film or highlight reel, giving you a unique perspective that traditional cameras can’t achieve.

When Is the Best Time to Fly the Drone?

The key to great drone wedding footage is planning. We’ll help you choose the best moments to fly so we don’t interrupt key parts of the day.

Popular times for aerial shots include:

• Between the ceremony and reception while guests are socialising.
• A classic “all guests” group shot with you both in the centre as the drone ascends.
• Couple portraits in the grounds or gardens.
• Golden hour or sunset, when the light is soft and cinematic.

We integrate the drone into your schedule so it feels natural, not disruptive.

Wedding Aerial Photography Costs

To keep things simple, your drone coverage is usually added as an upgrade within your full wedding package. As a guide, wedding aerial photography and drone video typically starts from around £450 when booked alongside your main wedding photography or videography.

Every wedding is different, so we’ll confirm exact pricing once we know your venue, timings and what you’d like the drone to cover.
