Keep a photographer on the balcony at all times. Better yet, you stay there because top-down shots are always worth it. This image was shot during Alana and Brent‘s grand entrance into their outdoor reception at Pelican Resort.
Split seconds later – one shot taken from a photographer on the ground and another shot from the same balcony photographer capturing the moment with cheering guests in view.
And finally we had a drone flying up at the same time. We photoshopped out the photographer on the balcony for the client because we want them to believe that we are magicians. Outdoor wedding receptions offer incredible opportunity for us to capture more aerial drone shots that would otherwise not be possible in a traditional reception ballroom.
