Recommendation: Hiring a Dedicated Wedding Videography Team
To ensure your wedding is captured in the best possible way, we recommend hiring a dedicated videography team in addition to your photography team. Having separate teams allows each to fully focus on their craft — photographers on capturing beautiful still images, and videographers on telling your story through motion and sound.
We speak from experience — we used to offer videography ourselves and understand the unique demands and workflow it requires. This background also means we know how to work seamlessly alongside videographers, ensuring smooth coordination on the day and no missed moments.
Having a dedicated team for each medium allows for:
- Higher quality results from both photo and video professionals
- Less interference and better coordination during key moments
- Creative freedom for both teams to get the best possible shots
- Comprehensive coverage so nothing is overlooked
In the end, this approach leads to a more complete, beautifully documented wedding day — both in photos and on film.
Drone Regulations
- Property owners generally have a duty to ensure the safety of individuals on their property. If the drone pilot’s activities result in harm to others or property damage, the property owner could potentially be held liable if it can be shown that they were negligent in allowing the drone pilot to operate on their property.
- Drones may only be operated for personal use when there is no commercial outcome, interest, or gain involved with the footage. Using a drone for commercial operations requires a pilot to be registered and operate under Part 101 of the SACAA regulations.
- Drone operators who fail to adhere to the Civil Aviation Regulations may face severe penalties, such as a prison sentence of up to 10 years, a fine of R50,000, or both.
