How does a videographer work around the ceremony and reception spaces at Clearwell Castle?

I start my day capturing drone shots of Clearwell Castle weather permitting. As a professional flyer I have the necessary documentation and permission granted to fly.
I film your wedding and speeches in certain spaces within the ball room so guests views are not blocked.
The confetti shot tends to happen on or just below the steps outside the front.
When it comes to your party in the downstair Cellar Bar, I have a night light to cope with the low lighting and realy capture all of the party vibes.
