A photographer in the US decided to fly a quadcopter around a soon-to-be married couple. Sadly, his quadcopter flying skills weren’t the best.

This bloke might be a photographer, but he’s certainly not a very good RC pilot.

The photographer doesn’t judge his take-off speed correctly and ends up creaming the groom in the side of the face. Not really what you’d want a couple of days BEFORE your wedding…

Here’s what the photographer had to say about the incident: “Ok so here’s the story. This was shot using a DJI phantom and a gopro camera. This was two days before the wedding at their bridal shoot.

“This happened towards the beginning. I had done one successful fly by and i brought it around for another pass to make sure it was smooth. I underestimated the lift time and it hit the goom on the side of the face.

“He had a cut on his cheek and and the side of his head. I felt horrible. Luckily the bride and groom were able to laugh about it after and we continued the shoot.

“At the request of the bride and groom I put the video online. All though it sucks that this happened (sic).”
