Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney (D-New York) had a lavish wedding in June and filmed the affair from a drone.
In the drone's video footage, the happy couple - Maloney, the first openly gay congressman from the Empire State, and his longtime partner, Randy Florke - can be seen having rice thrown on them as they exit a church in the upstate town of Cold Spring. The drone then flies higher for a panoramic view of the church and, later, the poolside reception.
Read MoreThe wedding video, shot by Propellerheads Aerial Photography, begins by panning around a massive upstate New York home to a large in-ground swimming pool, nestled in the quiet Hudson River valley. The Temper Trap lays the soundtrack with “Sweet Disposition.” It’s basically a much happier version of The Shining’s opening credits.
Read MoreAre aerial drones the answer we need to a wave of state laws seeking to criminalize efforts to expose health hazards and inhumane practices on corporate farms? One animal rights activist thinks so, and he’s won over hundreds of supporters who have donated money to help him prove his point.
Read Morethe agency is trying to assert that commercial flight of drones is illegal, despite there being no official, legally-enforceable regulations against it—a point that the FAA has already lost in court (an appeal is still pending). It's also trying to make the same tired argument that if a drone is used for a commercial purpose, it ceases being a "model" aircraft and becomes a standard one—the exact same argument a judge threw out just months ago. The document also tries to say that these new rules are already in effect, and have been for roughly two years.

After the press conference, a commercial photographer and drone pilot, Parker Gyokeres, flew a helicopter-like drone approximately two feet in diameter in a cleared area of the Club lobby. The drone rose vertically to a height above the top of the flags and then descended.
Read MoreThe building is quickly rising higher, and we’re working with a professional drone photographer to capture the construction progress up to its completion. That’s where the hexacopter “Airwolf” (pictured above) comes in. This state-of-the-art drone is equipped with a digital camera that will zip up and around the site periodically over the next six months or so snapping stills and video.
Read More“It’s like yelling at a closed door that has ‘keep out’ written on it,” Parker Gyokeres, secretary of the Professional Society of Drone Journalists, said.
Gyokeres is a former U.S. Air Force photojournalist who decided to combine his two passions – photography and aviation. He started Propellerheads Aerial Photography, which provides commercial and residential photography and video services. He said he’s been tentative in marketing his services because he doesn’t want to attract attention from the FAA.
“I’ll follow the rules, but there aren’t any,” Gyokeres said.
To manage safety, Gyokeres said he always flies his drones within his line of sight and keeps them under 400 feet – which follows a 1981 FAA operating standard for model airplanes.
Whenever he’s shooting in a neighborhood, he knocks on doors and lets neighbors know why he’s taking photos with a drone. More often than not, they ask for a demonstration.
Gyokeres said he expects to receive a cease and desist letter from the FAA, “Then I’ll pick up the phone and call Brendan.”
