- A typical session lasts 1 hour and you receive around 20 edited photos.
- What is included?
- A pre-flight check of airspace, restricted zones and any local rules for your address

- How does booking work?
- Send a free request with your place, date and plans. Nordiora checks which professionals are available and replies with a proposal stating who will shoot, the package and the exact price. Nothing is booked until you accept.
From above, Sweden makes sense in a way it rarely does from the ground: the islands of the archipelago scattered across the water, the pattern of red houses in a village, the shape of a forest lake, the scale of a factory site or a hotel by the shore. A few aerial photographs often explain a place better than a dozen taken at eye level.
We match you with drone pilots who photograph for weddings and couples, estate agents and homeowners, hotels and conference venues, event organisers, companies and tourism. Many of them are also photographers on the ground, so drone images can be part of a wedding, a real estate shoot or an event rather than a separate booking.
Drone flying is regulated, and that shapes what is possible. Pilots in Sweden operate under the common EU drone rules, which Transportstyrelsen (the Swedish Transport Agency) administers: operators must be registered, and flights are planned within a category that sets how and where the drone may fly. Before every job the pilot checks the airspace, local restrictions and the weather, and tells you in advance if a flight is not possible or needs permission. What follows is a client’s overview, not legal advice.
How it works
- 1
Send the place and the purpose
Send a free, no-obligation availability request with the exact address or map point, the date and what the photographs are for. The address matters: it decides what the pilot must check.
- 2
The pilot checks the location
Before we confirm, a pilot checks the airspace on LFV’s drone map and any local restrictions. If your location is in a controlled or restricted zone, they tell you whether permission can be sought or suggest an alternative.
- 3
Review the proposal
The proposal states who will fly, what you receive, the conditions for a weather postponement and the price. Nothing is booked until you accept.
- 4
Flight and delivery
On the day the pilot does a final weather and safety check, keeps the drone in sight and away from people who are not part of the shoot, and delivers the edited images within the agreed time.
From the portfolio
Where the shoot happens
The Stockholm archipelago is the classic subject, as is the west coast around Gothenburg and the Gotland coastline around Visby. In the mountains, Åre and Kiruna and Abisko offer big landscapes, though cold and wind limit flying time and parts of the mountain area are protected. In Stockholm itself much of the centre lies in controlled airspace, so plan early. See our drone photography guide for Sweden, the pages for Stockholm and Gothenburg, and the article on drone rules in Sweden.

Preparation tips
- Give an exact address or a map pin, not just a town; restrictions depend on the precise location.
- Ask early for city-centre or near-airport sites, as a permission request takes time.
- Have a back-up date or a ground-only alternative; wind, rain, snow and severe cold can all ground a drone.
- Tell neighbours or guests that a drone will fly; people are more relaxed when they know why it is there.
- For property, a late-spring or summer flight shows green lawns and leaves; a snowy aerial is beautiful but sells a different story.
- Nature reserves and national parks may restrict or ban flights; ask the pilot to check before you fall in love with a spot.
Frequently asked questions
How much does drone photography cost in Sweden?
Through our platform it starts from 3,490 kr for one hour on site and around 20 edited aerial photographs. The price rises with travel, permissions where needed, extra time, drone video, combined ground photography and broader usage rights. The full price is in your proposal before you book.
Is it legal to fly a drone where I want photographs?
Often, but not everywhere. Pilots in Sweden follow the EU drone rules administered by Transportstyrelsen, which include operator registration, a general height limit of 120 metres in the open category and rules on flying near people. Areas around airports, parts of central Stockholm and some sensitive sites are restricted, and the pilot checks LFV’s drone map and applies for permission where that is possible. Read our guide to drone rules in Sweden; it is an overview, not legal advice.
Can you fly over nature reserves and national parks?
Sometimes not. Many nature reserves and national parks have their own rules, and some restrict or prohibit drone flights, at least during bird breeding seasons. The pilot checks the rules for the specific area with the county administrative board (länsstyrelsen) or the managing authority before offering a flight.
What happens if the weather is bad?
A drone cannot fly safely in strong wind, rain or snow, and severe cold shortens battery life. If conditions are unsafe, the pilot postpones the flight. The conditions for moving the date are stated in your proposal.
What about privacy when filming people from above?
Pilots avoid photographing uninvolved people in identifiable ways and do not fly over crowds. At a wedding or event, guests should know that a drone is in use. Publishing aerial images of other people’s property or of people can also raise questions under Swedish rules on camera surveillance and data protection, so the pilot frames shots with this in mind.
Can drone photographs be added to a wedding or property shoot?
Yes, and that is often the simplest way. Mention it in your request for a wedding or real estate shoot and we match a photographer who also flies, or a pilot who works alongside them.
