Quick answers

How much does it cost?
Drone Video starts from 4,990 kr. The final price depends on the place, duration, date, time of day, travel and any add-ons such as film or drone, and is stated in your proposal before you book.
How long does it take?
A typical shoot lasts 1 h 30 min and you receive an edited film.
What is included?
  • A pre-flight check of airspace, restricted zones and local rules for your location
  • A registered drone operator and pilot with the competence the flight category requires
  • Ninety minutes on site in the starting package, including set-up and safety checks
  • Edited aerial clips or a short film with licensed music, as stated in your proposal
Where does it take place?
Popular places include Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Stockholm Archipelago, and Visby. Your photographer suggests the best spot for your date, the light and the crowds.
Who is it for?
  • Weddings that want establishing shots of the church, the venue or the boat to the island
  • Property and holiday-home videos where the plot, the shoreline or the view matters
  • Hotels, conference venues, ski resorts and campsites
  • Festivals, sports events, races and outdoor company events
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.

A moving aerial shot does what a still cannot: it takes the viewer from the water to the house, from the forest edge to the hotel, from the crowd to the stage. A slow pull-back over the archipelago or a sweep along a mountainside sets a scene in a few seconds, which is why drone footage opens so many wedding films, property videos and brand films.

We match you with pilots who film for weddings, estate agents, hotels and holiday villages, event organisers, companies and tourism. You can book drone video on its own, as a set of edited clips or a short film, or as part of a wedding film or a corporate video, where the pilot works alongside the ground videographer and the footage is cut into the same edit.

Every flight is planned around the rules and the weather. Pilots in Sweden operate under the common EU drone regulation, which Transportstyrelsen (the Swedish Transport Agency) administers: operators are registered, and each flight falls within a category that sets how and where the drone may fly. The pilot checks the airspace and local restrictions for your address before confirming, and tells you if something is not possible. This page is an overview for clients, not legal advice.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send the place and the purpose

    Send a free, no-obligation availability request with the exact location, the date and what the film is for. If it is part of a wedding or company film, say so.

  2. 2

    The pilot checks the location

    A pilot checks the airspace on LFV’s drone map, any restricted zones and local rules, for example in a nature reserve. If permission is needed and possible, they explain what it involves and how long it may take.

  3. 3

    Review the proposal

    The proposal states who will fly, what you receive, the formats, the weather conditions for postponing and the price. Nothing is booked until you accept.

  4. 4

    Flight, edit and delivery

    On the day the pilot does a final weather and safety check, flies within the agreed plan and keeps away from uninvolved people. The edited film or clips arrive within the agreed delivery time.

Where the shoot happens

The Stockholm archipelago is the most filmed subject, with boats, islands and red boathouses; the Gotland coast around Visby and the west coast near Gothenburg follow. In Åre and around Kiruna and Abisko the mountains and the snow make strong footage, but wind, cold and short winter days limit the flying window, and parts of the mountain landscape are protected. In central Stockholm much of the city lies in controlled airspace, so allow time for permission. Our drone guide for Sweden and the article on drone rules in Sweden go further.

Preparation tips

  • Decide where the film will be shown first; a website hero, a vertical reel and a wedding film need different shots.
  • Give the pilot an exact location: the restrictions depend on the precise spot, not the town.
  • Keep a back-up date; wind, rain, snow and severe cold can all ground a drone on the day.
  • At a wedding, plan aerial shots before or after the ceremony; a drone is audible and not welcome during the vows.
  • Low sun gives aerial footage depth: early morning or the long summer evenings are worth planning around.
  • In winter, batteries drain faster in the cold, so expect shorter flights in Lapland and the mountains.

Frequently asked questions

How much does drone video cost in Sweden?

Through our platform drone video starts from 4,990 kr for ninety minutes on site and edited aerial clips. The price rises with travel, permissions where needed, extra flying time, the length of the edit, ground filming and broader usage rights. The full price is in your proposal before you book.

Which rules apply to drone filming in Sweden?

Pilots follow the EU drone rules administered by Transportstyrelsen: the operator must be registered, the pilot must have the competence the flight category requires, and in the open category there is a general height limit of 120 metres and rules about distance to people. Zones around airports, parts of central Stockholm and some sensitive sites are restricted. Your pilot checks the current rules and LFV’s drone map. See our guide to drone rules in Sweden, which is an overview rather than legal advice.

Can you film in national parks and nature reserves?

Not always. Many protected areas have their own regulations, and some restrict or prohibit drones, often to protect birds and wildlife. The pilot checks the rules for the specific area, usually with the county administrative board (länsstyrelsen), before offering the flight.

What if the weather stops the flight?

Strong wind, rain, snow and severe cold can make a flight unsafe, and the pilot decides on the day. If the flight cannot go ahead, the conditions for a new date are stated in your proposal.

Can you film over guests at our wedding or event?

Pilots do not fly over crowds, and in the open category there are rules on distance to uninvolved people. Aerial shots are planned to show the setting and the group from a safe position, and guests should know that a drone is in use. Privacy also matters when the footage is published, so the pilot frames shots with that in mind.

Can drone video be part of a wedding or company film?

Yes. Add it to a request for a wedding film or a corporate video, and the aerial footage is edited into the same film. You can also add drone photographs on the same flight.
