Drone wedding coverage · Búzios
In short
Drone wedding coverage in Búzios starts at $600: 3 hours on location with a photographer who works in Búzios, and 40 edited photos + a 2–3 minute edited film delivered to a private gallery within 3 weeks.
Why choose drone wedding coverage in Búzios?
From the air Búzios shows what the ground cannot: the peninsula with water on three sides, the coves lined up along the northern shore, the pousada pool with the guests around it and the sea beyond. A drone adds that frame to a wedding, flown at the arrivals, the ceremony from the side and the couple at sunset. The planning starts with where the venue sits, because the town has more aviation than most people expect.
Worth knowing about Búzios
ANAC registers the Umberto Modiano aerodrome (CIAD RJ0012) in Armação dos Búzios, about 8 km west of the town centre, and DECEA's ICA 100-40 rings every aerodrome with a flight restriction zone. A drone wedding at a Búzios venue inside that zone needs a Termo de Coordenação filed at least 4 calendar days ahead in SARPAS, so the pilot checks the venue's position when the date is booked.

FAQ — Drone wedding coverage in Búzios
Does the Búzios airport affect drone wedding coverage?
It can. The Umberto Modiano aerodrome in Armação dos Búzios is surrounded by a flight restriction zone under DECEA's ICA 100-40, and a drone flight crossing it needs a Termo de Coordenação and at least 4 calendar days' notice in SARPAS. The pilot checks each Búzios venue against the zone before confirming drone coverage.
Can the drone fly over the guests at a Búzios wedding?
No. ANAC's rule, RBAC nº 100, requires 30 m of horizontal distance from anyone who has not expressly agreed to the flight. At a Búzios wedding the drone rises from the garden or the beach beside the pousada and films the ceremony from above, never passing over the rows of chairs.
