Weddings & special events
Aerial coverage adds a sense of place to a wedding or event: the venue in its landscape, the full scale of an outdoor gathering, the arrival or send-off. SiouxSky works alongside your photographer, videographer and planner so aerial moments are planned in advance and never get in the way of the day.
The challenge
A beautiful rural venue, lakeside location or farm wedding loses its scale in ground-level photos.
An unplanned drone can distract guests and interrupt the ceremony.
Festivals, races, fundraisers and community events need aerial content for next year's promotion.
What can be performed
Establishing images and footage of the venue, grounds and landscape.
Group photos, arrivals and send-offs positioned and timed with your photographer.
Aerial views of the event site and setup for organizers and sponsors, where permitted.
Short edited aerial highlights to pair with your main photo and video coverage.
Scope & limitations
How it works
Tell us the location, what you need captured, your timeframe and how the results will be used.
Share the date, venue, timeline and your photographer and planner contacts.
You get a written scope listing views, deliverables, schedule assumptions and price — before anything is booked.
The quote lists the planned aerial moments, coverage window and deliverables.
Airspace, permissions, site access, weather and on-site conditions are reviewed and a flight window is set.
Venue permission, airspace, the run-of-show and a weather backup plan are confirmed.
Edited, organized files are delivered to the structure agreed in your scope.
Edited aerials and any clips for your videographer are delivered after the event.
Every flight depends on airspace, property-owner and site permissions, weather, site conditions and the regulations that apply at the time. If a flight can't be completed safely and legally, it won't be attempted — and you'll know before the visit.

FAQ
Flights are planned around the timeline — typically before guests are seated, during outdoor portraits and at the send-off — so the drone isn't overhead during vows.
Aerial coverage depends on conditions on the day. The quote explains what happens if flying isn't safe, so there are no surprises.
Not always. Some venues prohibit drones, and some are near airports or in restricted airspace. Venue and airspace are checked before you book.
