The drone shows what a photo from the ground cannot. At a wedding it lets you take in the venue and its surroundings at a glance. It also works for a photo of the guests from above. I tell you when it makes sense, what the rules are and how to add it.
What the drone adds to a wedding
It adds an overview. You see how the venue relates to the village, the coast or the forest around it. You also see the access routes and the orientation of the place. That helps tell where you got married.
Asturias has a lot of landscape to look at from the air. There is coast with cliffs, coves and beaches, valleys and misty mountains, and green meadows everywhere. If your wedding is near any of them, the drone shows it all at once.
It is also useful for group photos. In a real wedding there is a photo of the guests arranged in the shape of a heart, taken from the air.
I can shoot aerial photo and video. I edit the images with the same care for light that I put on the ground and deliver them in a private gallery. I do not use it at every wedding, I add it when it adds something and the place allows it.
If you want aerial photo and video, I deliver them together and with the same colour approach. There is more about my work on the page for video.
The certificate and the flight rules
I am a drone pilot and hold the official AESA A1/A3 certificate. Before each job I check the area and any permits that are needed.
Flying has rules and cannot be done anywhere. That is why I always fly according to the regulations and the flight zone where the wedding takes place.
At a wedding there is another condition. The venue and the organisation have to allow it. We check beforehand, well in advance, so there are no surprises on the wedding day.
In rain or strong wind flying stops being safe. In that case the drone stays on the ground and the shoot continues with the camera.
How we prepare before the wedding
If you want a drone, tell me when you ask for the proposal. The sooner you tell me, the more time there is to check the area. This is what we do before the wedding day.
- You tell me the wedding venue and the schedule.
- I check the flight zone and any permits that are needed.
- We confirm with the venue and the organisation that flying is allowed.
- If there are restrictions, I tell you before closing the proposal.
On the wedding day I arrive early, with the timings, access and routes already agreed. I move discreetly and I do not interrupt anything.
If you are getting married outside Asturias
My AESA A1/A3 certificate is valid in European Union countries, always according to the rules of each place. Outside the Union, or where there are specific rules, we check before the wedding. There is more information in destination weddings.
How to add it
At weddings the drone is an extra. It is not included in any pack, it is added to the one you choose. Instante, Alma and Eternidad adapt to what you need. The details of each one are on weddings.
If you are looking for aerial images for another use, such as an estate or accommodation, I also do them. You have an example in Estate in Oviñana, with its plot, its access routes and the surroundings.
