Book a drone video shooting for your wedding ceremony in Switzerland

What could be more exhilarating than witnessing your wedding from a bird's-eye view? Drone video filming offers the opportunity to capture all the enchantment and splendour of a wedding ceremony by a crystal-clear lake or atop a picturesque hill.
It's crucial to ensure that during the exchange of vows and rings, the drone maintains a respectful distance from guests to preserve the intimacy of the moment.

An elegant bridal train, veil, or flowing fabric adds an extra touch of grace and sophistication to the wedding video captured by a drone. For winter weddings set against snowy landscapes, opting for a non-white wedding dress can help the bride stand out beautifully.

Given the time constraints of a wedding celebration, it's essential to capture key moments flawlessly. Some couples opt for a separate photo shoot and additional video recording on a different day or during the wedding rehearsal to maximize the possibilities for drone video filming and capturing unique angles.

Book drone video filming for corporate presentations and events in Zurich, Bern, Basel, and Geneva

In today's digital age, every corporate gathering, cocktail reception, presentation, or grand opening is complemented by aerial videography. This enables the creation of promotional videos featuring captivating transitions and sweeping panoramic views.

Aerial group photos of company employees or event attendees captured by drones make a particularly striking impression. Incorporating vibrant accents into the venue's decor helps it stand out amidst the surroundings.

Another advantage of utilizing drones at events spanning large areas (such as festivals, hotel complexes, or parks) is the ability to oversee contractor activities and monitor guest whereabouts.
With drones, seamlessly shift your focus across different zones, tracking available parking spaces, guest locations, staff movements, and artist performances. This streamlines event organization and management.

Furthermore, drones facilitate detailed pre-event reconnaissance, enabling effective planning of catering, technical setups, stage arrangements, and decor placement.

Tips for drone video filming of holidays, weddings, or parties in Switzerland

Selecting the perfect location is paramount for successful drone videography. Below are practical tips to help you prepare for drone photography and videography in Switzerland.

1. Begin by compiling a list of permissible filming locations. These could include breathtaking natural landscapes or iconic Swiss landmarks such as castles, quaint villages, and historic churches. However, it's essential to note that drone videography may be restricted or prohibited in certain areas, such as cities, national parks, near airports, power plants, and military installations. Therefore, it's crucial to consult with the drone operator beforehand and check the designated filming areas map.

2. When selecting a location, prioritize safety during drone filming. While some venues may permit aerial photography, they may prohibit drones from flying indoors or through open windows. It's advisable to outline desired angles and discuss their technical feasibility with the drone operator in advance.
Ideally, the drone operator can conduct a site inspection and familiarize themselves with the location beforehand.

3. Allocate sufficient time for capturing drone footage of key moments during your event, preferably from various angles. For instance, filming the newlyweds' arrival at the venue in a luxurious car can include not only their entrance but also their journey along scenic Swiss roads. Event preparations can be showcased dynamically through drone footage, capturing the surroundings and approaching windows to reveal the behind-the-scenes action. Such picturesque frames enhance the narrative of your video and captivate viewers' attention.

4. The most breathtaking shots often occur during the "golden hour," characterized by soft sunlight shortly before sunrise or after sunset. During this time, warm hues and gentle lighting add a touch of beauty and allure to video frames. If feasible, plan your holiday, wedding, or trip drone photography during this magical hour.

Swiss safety regulations for drone usage:

Switzerland imposes stringent rules on drone operation, applicable not only to commercial endeavours but also personal activities. All regulations are overseen by the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) and undergo updates nearly annually. Here are the key guidelines:

• All drones utilized in Switzerland must be registered with FOCA, with the assigned unique registration number prominently displayed on the drone.
• Avoid operating drones in restricted (no-fly) zones: proximity to airports, military installations, power plants, certain government buildings, correctional facilities, and nature reserves.
• Switzerland imposes altitude limitations on drone flights (up to 120 meters above ground level) and flight distances concerning individuals or structures (within the operator's direct line of sight).
• Adhere to privacy and property rights. Obtain consent before capturing photos or videos of individuals with a drone and refrain from trespassing on private property.
• Depending on the drone's intended use, special permits or licenses may be necessary for operators in Switzerland.
