why you need to book a wedding content creator
Are you preparing for the most special day of your life and want to every mini & major magical moment documented? I’m spilling all the tea on everything you need to know about Wedding and Event Content Creators (also known as day of content creators).
What is a wedding content creator?
Imagine reliving your wedding day the morning after, all snuggled in bed with your partner while watching every heartfelt moment of your special day! From your “I do’s” to the giggles between sunset photos, every heartfelt gesture preserved for eternity. This is the magic that Wedding Content Creators deliver. They transform your moments into memories that will last a lifetime.
what specifically do Wedding Content creators do?
Wedding Content Creators are a master at capturing the essence of your special day all through the lens of an iPhone. They weave together a short form video narrative that speaks to the beauty and emotion of your celebration while delivering unlimited behind-the-scenes footage within 24 hours and are well-versed in the art of crafting trendy TikTok’s and captivating reels. Some even offer to do a “story takeover” where they log in to your social media account and post real-time content for your viewers.
I hardly use social MEDIA; will I still benefit from booking wedding content creation?
Despite the name, you do not need to be a huge social media person to benefit from having a day of content creator at your event. Let me explain…
Although a day of content creator can make trending TikTok’s/ Reels, the #1 reason people hire them is to capture all the raw behind-the-scenes footage in a semiprofessional way so you, your friends, and family can live in the moment without missing out on capturing the moment.
As our lives increasingly shift towards digital spaces, booking a wedding content creator has become highly sought after. This allows your friends and family to enjoy their time as your wedding guest and celebrate alongside you! Nobody wants to be on their phone capturing content all day (except your wedding content creators- lol).
When did Wedding content creators become a thing?
Day of content creation is actually a fairly new concept that started to gain popularity in 2023. With that being said, photographers and videographers are learning to adapt to the idea of wedding content creators but may still be weary of newcomers without wedding experience. Make sure you connect your media team together before the wedding.
*There is so much more to this, and it truly deserves a whole blog post… so stay tuned.
Whats the difference between Wedding content creation and photographers / videographers?
Although it may sound like there are similar deliverables, they differ quite a lot. Let’s spark notes this for easy viewing.
PHOTOGRAPHERS: deliver high resolution, edited professional portraits that you’ll hang on your wall or place on your mantel piece.
VIDEOGRAPHERS: deliver high a resolution cinematic movie trailer of your special day in a timeless, elegant manner.
CONTENT CREATORS: deliver the in between raw moments of your day full of all the behind-the-scenes footage captured from an iPhone. They deliver a short form video recap of your day and can create trending TikTok’s/Reels.
*Although content creation isn't a direct substitute for a videographer, some couples may choose it instead. It's important to note the deliverables are not the same and some creators do not have the means to record close up, crisp audio.
Is wedding content creation expensive?
Day of content creator prices typically align with similar wedding vendors. Prices will vary depending on deliverables and your location.
Like other vendors, it’s important to know that a content creator’s work doesn’t just happen on the day of the event- collaborating with other vendors, planning your specific content creation plan, travel, editing, and delivering content.
Is hiring a wedding content creator worth it?
Heck to the yes! Fully LIVE in the moment. Completely unplug and be present. Your wedding will come and go so quickly, so live in every second of it— the content and memories will be there in the morning <3
