…photography drones can also be an epic disaster.

Here are 9 things to think about before you ditch your human photographer:

1. Missile Strike

You asked your veteran uncle to hire the wedding drone because he “had a connection.” His connection was with the US military. Oops!

2. Money, Honey

Picture Perfect Portrait and Design, a company based in Iowa, charges $300 for a 30 minute session.

3. Drones can’t capture intimate details…

…like the tearful bridesmaids or your grandmother asleep in the front pew.

4. Drones are annoyingly loud.

You want your spouse to hear your vows, don’t you?

5.Your guests will spend the whole ceremony wondering why that strange bird is flying so close to the bride.

You definitely don’t want anything pulling focus from the bride, even if it is a super cool picture-taking robot.

6. Your man-child fiancé is going to want one after seeing what it can do.

Good luck explaining to him why that $500 kitchen mixer is a better investment.

7. Drones can capture things regular photographers can’t…

… including things you definitely don’t want other people seeing!

8. When Hillary Rodham Clinton went to a wedding that had a drone she declared, “That thing is going to kill somebody.”

What does she know that we don’t?!

9. Drone photography is technically illegal.

The Federal Aviation Administration recently decided to outlaw commercial drone photography because it can interfere with flight paths.

If you’re still not deterred from hiring a drone photographer for your wedding, just remember: no robot will be able to capture that perfectly timed jumping bridal party picture you’ve always dreamt about.
