Very different ... do you provide video as well or just the 'stills'?

Just stills, I do a little commercial video but not doing any wedding or engagement video
 
Liking 2, 4 & 5 ... could imagine a video of them walking along the track into the sun. :)
 
Cool option to have as an extra and perfect for social distancing. :ROFLMAO:

I guess it’s much harder to not blow highlights etc using a camera on a drone. In all honesty have only ever had a quick play with a good one and the basic ones my kids have had. Still photography capability seemed basic at best.

Am sure the couple will love them which is all that matters at the end of the day.

Easy. Do 2nd lower exposure just for sky very quickly. Even perfect alignment doesn't matter.

But our friend is not happy with critique and is getting personally nasty because that is liberal to do so ignore the advice and do not improve :)

Which isn't possible on a drone.

Again, I'd have used the critique label to ask for critique if I'd wanted any. More than happy with my work thanks, clients don't give a monkeys about blown skies.

Yep, this is only a mavic Air 2, so there's not only a delay between taking shots, but you don't have the dynamic range of a big camera.

I've never met anyone that's not a photographer that cares about blown highlights though :)

Which it is. The AEB is there https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/re...s-the-best-all-around-drone-for-most-people/2

Even if it wasn't I'd go to my library and find some well exposed similar sky to patch these bits. It's only 5 shots and you probably got paid for it well enough to go the extra mile.

You are very lucky with your clients so far. I wish mine were all like this.
 
Not sure if its the compression when posting but the couple don't really look in focus to me? Could just be this laptop

Which doesn't work in 48mp and doesn't take the images in fast enough succussion.

Thanks for reminding me why I never bother using the sharing section though.

The downside of these drones is that they're fixed focus, so yep, there's a couple where they won't be in critical focus.
