Need ideas for helicopter wedding

GeneralBenson · Jun 23, 2011

I would leave a chunk of time before and after the flight, while on the ground, to get some good shots in the heli, while you're free to move around. In the air shots will be good for actual documentation, but whant you can do will be limited. While on the ground, you can move around more and have more shot options, while still being inside the chopper.

i did a bunch of helicopter weddings this summer. i got the tokina 11-16 and thought it would be wide enough but ended up getting a 10.5mm fisheye. i didn't regret it. don't worry about the distortion thats not what the heli shots are about. also make sure you prepare the couple that they need to turn around every now and then, hold their hands up when exchanging rings etc. i used a 35mm 1.8 to take scenic shots out the window. let us know how it goes!
