Why Drone Footage is a Must for Calgary Weddings & Outdoor Events

Calgary’s landscapes—river valleys, foothills, skyline—deserve to be seen from above. Drone footage adds scale and emotion, especially for outdoor weddings and festivals. Here’s how to plan aerials that look cinematic and run smoothly.

Why Aerials Work
A single sweeping shot sets the scene and makes any highlight reel feel elevated. Drone angles reveal your venue layout, crowd energy, and the natural beauty around you.

Best Moments for Drones
• Venue reveals before guests arrive
• Outdoor ceremonies and recessions
• Sunset portraits and golden-hour crowd clips
• Grand exits (sparklers, classic cars, confetti)

Planning Considerations
• Timing: early setup and short windows during good light.
• Safety: keep buffers from guests; coordinate with your planner.
• Permissions: some locations require approvals—ask early.
• Weather: Calgary conditions change quickly; have backup windows.
