More and more wedding videographers and even some photographers are picking up drones as a way to provide unique images beyond what guests can capture with their iPhones.

You can read the full story over at the Boston Herald site, but there’s a bit of a spat about who is responsible. Two guests were injured pretty seriously, as you might expect when people get hammered in the face with spinning blades.
