Event and Wedding Photography in Wells, ME
WHAT WE DO
Federal rules prohibit sustained drone flight over an open air assembly, so aerial coverage is planned around the gathering, not above it. Mile Fly Club Aerials
photographs weddings, charity events, golf tournaments, and community gatherings across Wells, ME
and the New Hampshire Seacoast, arriving before guests, covering the day on the ground, and adding legal aerial frames where venues allow.
WHERE WE COVER
Barns, Clubs, Beaches, And Town Greens
Every venue along this coast brings its own problem to solve. A barn reception has beautiful timber and almost no light once the sun goes. A beach ceremony has wind, glare, and a very short window when the light is right. Golf clubs run on a schedule that scatters play across 18 holes at once. Town greens and function rooms sit under different airspace and different rules about flying. We cover events throughout coastal Maine and the New Hampshire Seacoast, scouting each venue before the day.
Event Photography Services We Provide
Coverage is built around a timeline agreed well beforehand, so preparation, ceremony, formal groups, and the celebration afterward each get the attention, the hours, and the positioning each one requires.
01
Wedding Day Coverage
Preparation, ceremony, portraits, and reception photographed across an agreed timeline from start to finish. Formal groups are worked through efficiently from a named list built well in advance, which protects the cocktail hour everyone actually wants to enjoy afterward.
02
Charity Gala and Fundraiser Photography
Arrival before guests captures the room, the decor, the sponsor signage, and the lighting design while everything is still pristine. Coverage then follows speeches, awards, presentations, and the candid moments a committee always needs for next year's fundraising campaign.
03
Golf Tournament Coverage
A shotgun start scatters play across the whole course simultaneously, so coverage moves between holes on a planned route rather than following one group. Team photographs, on course action, and the awards presentation all get mapped around that beforehand.
04
Community Races and Local Events
Starts, finishes, crowds, volunteers, and sponsor visibility photographed across a constantly moving event. Positions are planned carefully in advance because a road race gives exactly one chance at the start line and none at all after the field has passed.
05
Aerial Event Coverage
Elevated frames of a venue, a course, a beach ceremony, or a full crowd, flown legally around the gathering rather than over it. Sustained flight above an open air assembly is restricted, so positioning is planned carefully well beforehand.
06
Editing, Galleries, and Delivery
Images are culled, corrected, and delivered as an organized online gallery that can be shared directly with guests, committees, or sponsors. Print ready files and web-sized versions arrive together in the same handover, with nothing left to convert.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Customers Say
Why Choose Us for Event and Wedding Photography
Events reward preparation and punish improvisation. The failures are always the same: a timeline nobody agreed, a venue never visited, a drone that could not legally fly, and a rain plan invented on the morning.
01
A Timeline Agreed Well Before The Day
Coverage hours, formal group lists, and key moments are all settled weeks in advance. Nobody spends half the reception hunting for missing relatives, and the schedule holds naturally without the photographer becoming the person quietly dictating the whole day.
02
Venues Scouted, Not Discovered
Light, sight lines, positions, and problem corners all get identified well beforehand. Arriving to solve a dark barn or a backlit ceremony on the day itself costs the exact minutes that should be spent photographing rather than troubleshooting a room.
03
Aerial Work Planned Around Guests
Flight rules restrict sustained operation above gathered people, so aerials are positioned carefully around the crowd instead. Doing it legally protects the couple, the venue, the guest list, and everyone standing underneath from a problem that was genuinely avoidable.
04
A Weather Plan That Already Exists
Indoor alternatives and covered positions are identified during the venue scout, long before the forecast even matters. Coastal weather changes fast here, and a plan made calmly weeks in advance always beats one improvised while guests are already arriving.
05
Coverage That Stays Out Of The Way
Moments look natural because nobody is being directed through them. Beyond the formal groups, the approach stays quietly observational, which is how a gallery ends up feeling like the day itself rather than a long series of arranged poses.
06
Delivery You Can Actually Share
Galleries arrive online and neatly organized, easy to send to family, a committee, a sponsor, or a local newspaper. Print ready and web-sized versions come together, so nothing needs converting or resizing before it goes out to anyone.
WHO WE ARE
Calm Coverage On A Day That Only Happens Once
Events do not offer second attempts, so preparation carries the day. Timelines are agreed in advance, venues are scouted, airspace is checked, and backup plans exist for weather before anyone arrives. Tim shoots each event personally and stays out of the way while doing it, because the best coverage rarely announces itself. Aerial frames run under an FAA Part 107 certificate, planned around guests rather than over them. Share your date, venue, and timeline through our contact page and we will talk it through.
Frequently Asked Question
How many hours of coverage does a wedding need?
Enough to reach from preparation through the first part of the reception, which usually means somewhere between 6 and 10 hours. The timeline itself decides far more than the number, so we build that out together first, before anything else is settled.
How long does it take to receive event photographs?
Most event galleries arrive within a few weeks, and weddings typically take longer simply because of the volume involved. A small preview set usually goes out much sooner, so something is available to share while the full edit continues.
Can a drone fly over guests during a ceremony?
Not in sustained flight above a gathered crowd, because federal rules prohibit it. Aerial frames get positioned around the assembly instead, capturing the venue, the setting, and the scale of the day without operating directly over anyone standing below.
Do we need permission from the venue for drone footage?
Usually yes, and it is far better arranged several weeks ahead. Mile Fly Club Aerials checks airspace, permissions, and venue rules for every single event around Wells, Maine well before the date, since some locations restrict drone flying entirely.
What happens if it rains on the wedding day?
Covered positions and indoor alternatives are identified early during the venue scout, so a wet forecast simply changes the plan rather than the outcome. Coastal weather shifts quickly here, and gray skies often produce beautifully soft light for portraits.
What is a first look and how does it affect the timeline?
It is a private meeting between the couple before the ceremony, photographed quietly as it happens. Nerves settle, much of the formal portrait work gets finished early, and an hour of the day usually comes back to the couple.
How much time should we allow for family photographs?
Roughly 3 to 5 minutes per grouping once everyone is actually present, which is why a named list matters far more than the total. 20 separate combinations will quietly consume an entire hour that was meant for guests and cocktails.
How does golf tournament coverage work with a shotgun start?
Every group tees off simultaneously, so coverage runs a planned route around the course rather than following play. Mile Fly Club Aerials maps team shots, action frames, and the awards presentation against that window at tournaments around Wells, Maine.
