Guest post by Shantanu (see bio below):
Every couple tries their best to have all the good things at their wedding. They have good reasons for being particular about that, after all, it’s the biggest day in their lives. Couples go out of the way to research and bring in the latest trends in elements in their wedding. It could be the newest dress, the latest Gourmet food fantasy or even the latest photoshoot techniques.
Wedding photos make for one of the most prominent elements of any wedding. Couples are specific about the kind of pictures that are taken, pre and post marriage. These photos are what defines them and their story most accurately. They expect to look up to these images of their wedding day, years after life dawns upon them. These photos are a reminder of the story they have shared together, with themselves and with their near and dear ones.
One of the latest photoshoot styles is aerial photography. This is where the photographer captures the couple from an aerial view. Imagine yourself and your partner sitting side by side on a beach with no one around and a single image capturing all of it. There is a good reason why aerial or drone shoots are hitting every heart with their outstanding aerial feels. Not only are bird’s eye view shoots romantic and dreamy, but also adds a unique touch to your love story.
Here are some reasons why you should be opting for an aerial wedding video / photography shoot:
- One can choose to skip their tedious makeup routine. This will save a lot of time, resources and effort. Aerial shots would need you to just pose in any way that suits you both. The beauty of an aerial shot is the entirety of the frame; it covers a lot of elements and not just you. However, you and your partner would be the star or the focus of attention in the frame without any other noise around.
- You can also choose to be a little lenient with the outfit. The dress needs to be bright and colourful, to go with the background and the theme of your shoot. Imagine all the brainstorming and money you will save!
- You don’t have to stick to the same old clichéd poses that are ruling the internet. You can opt for more candid shots. To be true, anything looks pretty from an aerial view.
- It can practically be done at any location without much effort. You can do it on your terrace top, your garden or choose any, local locations that suit your taste.
- Most importantly, you will save a lot of time. Time is crucial for couples who are about to be wedded. Aerial shots do not do close-ups, so you can practically get over with a shoot in half an hour.

Now that you have your reasons for having an aerial photo shoot for your wedding, let’s move ahead. Here are the best poses for couples in an aerial wedding photography shot:
- Laying down on a cruise: If this is within your budget, aerial photoshoots on a cruise look really classy. There is the vast open sea and the two of you, this is a recipe for romance.
- Twirling on top of an old fort or an old discarded building: This might sound a little cheeky to some, but looks really good in pictures. You can choose any location in and around you that has an antique feeling to it and have your shoot there.
- Losing yourself to the sea: There is something about the sea’s vastness that just makes everything with it beautiful and majestic. Lay down on the beaches and capture both the sand and the sea or probably the horizon too. Or you can choose to do your shoot purely on the sand of the beach, depending on what colour is the sand. Check if you have rocky shores, they provide a great contrast for photoshoots.
- Stranded on an Island feels: It’s usually not easy to find a lonely Island but if possible, it’s worth it. You can choose to do a series of romantic or even quirky poses with the sand as the background.
- Do an aerial shoot with all your closest friends: This can be a quirky and fun photoshoot where you include people you can be open with. You could all lie down and pose or just lookup for your aerial photo shoot. It will be a treasure you will cherish after years.
- While playing a sport you both adore: It could be a football field, a lawn tennis court or just any other game. It looks fun and shows you both as a couple in a fun and interesting way.
The possibilities of aerial video / photography are endless. However, be careful about the safety procedures and possibly check with the photographer if s/he has insurance for the drone being used.
