Drone Wedding Photography

With years of experience as a wedding photographer, I understand how to capture the essence of your day.

If weather and regulations allow, I can photograph your entire wedding party from above, ensuring everyone is seen clearly.

Big group shots often lose impact when taken from ground level, especially if people are in a line, but a drone’s vantage point creates a truly memorable image of all your loved ones together. We can also use the drone in your couple photos, creating very original images.

Drone Family Photos and Solo Portraits

Although I love unposed, natural photos during family photoshoots, drone photography gives you the opportunity to create an extraordinary image with your family.

Remember drawing family portraits as a child? With drone photography, you can do that for real and be as creative as you want. Whether you’re lying together on the grass, arranging props for a fun theme, or simply enjoying a candid moment, this perspective adds a sense of playfulness and originality to your shoot.

I’ll guide you with tips on what looks good and what works best, helping co-create a one-of-a-kind image of you all together. With a drone, there’s no limit to the number of people included as long as everyone fits within the frame.

Drone Couple Photography

For couples, drone photography creates an entirely new way to tell your love story. Whether it’s during a couple photoshoot or a post-wedding session, taking time to plan and set up unique couple portraits with a drone will give you a very different image of you as a couple.

We’ll plan every detail together—poses, outfits, and location—to design a visually stunning portrait that captures your connection in a completely unique way. From dramatic aerial views of your favourite landscape to intimate, creative compositions, drone couple photography ensures you’ll have images to treasure forever.

Drone Photography Tips

Weather, location, props

Drone photography depends on location as there are many rules as to where I am allowed or not to fly. I f I am not allowed, the drone will not lift off the floor.

It also depends on the weather and surroundings. Wind will not let me fly safely. I need to shoot away from trees and groups of people. Safety comes first.

The photo needs to be planned- possibly with props, dresses, so Get creative and have an idea of what you want it to look like. It’s a bit like going back to being a child and drawing your family! I made an ideas board here.

Lumiere photography is skilled in so many ways. Portraits are my favorite, because she knows how to catch people's beauty in their simplicity and shining heart. Children are especially captured with their natural smiles, raw look and joyful expressions. She knows how to use natural lights to magnify the pictures as well. I can only recommend her work. Thank you so much for what you did!
