A recreational drone pilot has been fined $900 for hazardous flying near guests at a high-profile media wedding in regional NSW.
AAP understands the video caught the attention of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority after it was posted on social media in recent months.
Nine Network presenters Peter Stefanovic and Sylvia Jeffreys shared drone footage from their Kangaroo Valley wedding in April, but AAP has been unable to confirm if the fine relates to their event.
Drones must not fly closer than 30-metres to vehicles, boats, buildings or people, according to CASA's drone safety rules.
Another person was fined $1440 for flying a drone in Sydney Harbour, which is a restricted airspace, while a third person was fined $900 for flying a drone above a children's Easter egg hunt in Canberra.
Director of aviation safety Shane Carmody said CASA will continue to issue fines when people break the rules
"If you fly a drone it is your responsibility to fly by the rules and stay safe at all times," he said in a statement on Sunday.
