Drone photographers fly drones above a location and capture videos or still photos of events, weddings, properties, construction sites, and/or attractions.
A drone photographer can help you stand out since birds-eye view photos are still quite a novelty for most people. Aerial photography can also capture a broader view, which is ideal for big landscapes, events, and large crowds of people.
Aerial photographers’ skills include drone piloting, drone maintenance, photography, videography, and editing.
Yes. Most of the laws limit flying distances and locations, and it’s also illegal to fly over and above people. Your photographer will be familiar with local laws and ensure they operate their drone within the law.
It usually depends on the services needed. Your aerial and drone photographer may charge more or less, depending on the type of photos you need, the location, the level of editing, and the total time spent on site.

What does an aerial and drone photographers do?

Aerial photographers are hired for a range of jobs, but most gigs are either for events or marketing promotions. Here’s what you can expect from some of the most common services offered by drone photographers:

Wedding drone photographer


Wedding drone photographers will start by checking with the bride and groom to find out what kind of footage they want to be captured. They may capture photos of the bride and groom on a hill, video footage of the wedding ceremony from above, or photos of the entire wedding party and guests. At your wedding, your drone photographer will set up their drone and use their controller to fly above the action, capturing photos and/or video as they go. They’ll consider the weather and light when choosing angles and heights to take the best photos of your wedding. Your aerial photographer will use a first-person view screen or goggles to monitor the footage while flying the drone to make sure they capture all the most important elements.


Event aerial and drone photographer

Weddings aren’t the only type of events that can benefit from a drone photographer. Many large outdoor events, festivals, and parties are captured from above. Drones are perfect for capturing the scale of the event, including all the people, stages, stalls, and attractions. Your photographer will use their controller to fly the drone above the event, capturing photos and/or video. They’ll use their first-person view goggles or screen to check that their camera is capturing all the right shots. After the event, they’ll edit the footage and deliver a polished finished product, suitable to share on social media or in marketing promotions.


Real estate drone photographer

If you’ve got a house for sale, a real estate drone photographer can help capture unique images that truly show the scale and context of your property. They’ll use their drone and camera to zoom out and show the surrounding properties and landscape. Some real estate drone photographers are also hired to take still aerial photos that are used in planning. In some cases, developers work with aerial photographers to capture photos that show the construction progress and that key milestones have been met. After the photos have been captured, your photographer will carefully edit the footage so that it’s ready to be used in your marketing, listings, and planning processes.


Marketing campaigns


You can hire a drone photographer to help capture still photos or video footage that can be used in your marketing campaigns. They can get new and interesting angles on your store, event, location, products, or services. Aerial photos and videos are also ideal for tourism campaigns, especially in beautiful or interesting surroundings. Your photographer will set up their equipment and use the controller to fly the drone into the right position, before capturing your footage. They’ll edit the raw footage to produce a finished product, or hand this over to you for further editing.

South Yarra VIC, Australia

10th Mar 2025

Drone operator needed for comprehensive site documentation. I’m looking for a skilled drone operator to document a site with wide-sweeping shots and close-up details of the four buildings, surviving streets and buildings, and the surrounding area. The location is at 169-189 Toorak Road, down Claremont Street, in a laneway and Yarra Street. The goal is to create a detailed documentation of the site. Please note: I have no affiliation with this site and cannot give access or permissions and I have no affiliation with the construction site next door but it is an RDO so it should not be carried out. I’m requesting footage of the area with at least 35 shots, as outlined in the attached images. Please note that the site is near South Yarra Station, and there’s an active construction site with a tower crane. The area is fenced off, with a glass roof between two buildings, there are trams and train lines. No onsite access to this site. All 35 shots are detailed in the images, with approximate heights and areas to be tracked. The orange colour represents the camera view, and the arrows indicate the direction of the shots (up, along, or sweeping). No editing is required. Please when sending offers you can confirm you have seen all 35 outlined in images, that you are fine with the issue raised and can execute the job.

Thank you so much for your work today. It went over and above my expectations, meeting my needs exactly. You clearly have very high-quality equipment and skills to match. Very good communication before and during this project, and I would definitely hire you again. Thanks
