This post is about the advantages of hiring a wedding content creator.

Have you heard about the newest wedding vendor on the block? We’re talking about the wedding content creator.

In this article we’ll delve into what wedding content creators do and 11 reasons why you need one!

What does a wedding content creator do?

What are wedding content creators exactly? Think of them like paid paparazzi or a professional bridesmaid.

They’re there to take endless amounts of iPhone photos and videos of your wedding day. They can capture everything from the candid and organic to the posed and planned.

They usually can even orchestrate filming trending TikTok style videos too. Think of them as a bonus to your wedding photographer and/or videographer. 

11 Top Reasons To Get A Wedding Content Creator

1. Everyone Else Can Unplug

One of the main reasons wedding couples come to us to book a wedding content creator is so that everyone at the wedding can fully unplug.

With a wedding content creator capturing the day, everyone can put their phones down and truly enjoy the experience.

It’s especially helpful during the ceremony when many couples want an unplugged experience but also want some of those moments to be captured on iPhone.

2. Capture More Perspectives 

Having another person filming the wedding day means capturing it from another perspective.

Many couples ask us to be like a ‘fly on the wall’ during their special day capturing it from a third perspective.

Filming in this documentary-style way is non-intrusive and it so much fun for wedding couples to watch back later.

3. A Wedding Content Creator Can Capture Moments That You Miss

There are many moments during the wedding day when the bride and/or groom will be separate from the wedding guests.

For example, while the bride is getting ready, oftentimes the guests are already arriving and exploring the wedding venue.

Usually, the professional wedding photographer/videographer will be with the bride during these moments.

Many couples ask us to record the moments that they miss so that they can watch them back later.

4. Receive Vertical Content – Perfect For Sharing!

Oftentimes your wedding photographer and videographer will capture content in landscape/horizontal orientation.

While this is fantastic for printed photos or watching on a TV screen, it’s not the best style to share on social media or on your phone.

As we all know, vertical/portrait orientation content is better for sharing on your phone as it takes up the entire screen.

That’s where wedding content creators come in – we almost exclusively capture vertical content – perfect for posting on Instagram.

5. You Receive The Content Within 24 Hours 

After the rush of the wedding day, most couples want to already start reminiscing the day after. However, with traditional photographers and videographers, you usually need to wait weeks or even months for content to come through.

While their work is being edited, you could be smiling over the content from the wedding content creator. Typically, their content comes through within 24 hours of your event – directly to your phone. 

It’s perfect for those who want some instant gratification or want plenty of beautiful moments to share to social media / with loved ones immediately after. 

6. You Have Freedom With Editing

Normally, wedding photographers and videographers state in their contract that you cannot edit their work. You can’t splice up the video or edit the photos at all – if you want to share it at least. 

However, with wedding content creators they’re usually much more relaxed about how you manipulate the content. It’s yours and you can do what you want with it.

7. Take The Pressure Off The Guests 

Bridesmaids usually have so much on their plate on your wedding day – and one task is usually to take photos and videos throughout the day of fun BTS moments. While this can be fun for some, for many it’s another stressor throughout a day that they’d rather be present for.

So hiring a wedding content creator can take the pressure off your guests to constantly be taking photos and videos of your day.

8. A Wedding Content Creator Is An Affordable Alternative to a Videographer 

Wedding content creators happily work in harmony with wedding photographer and videographers. We often reassure our customers that we always put the photographers/videographers first i.e. getting out of their way for important shots etc. 

It’s also important to note that a wedding content creator is not the same as a wedding photographer/videographer as we use iPhones and deliver unedited content. We like to see ourselves as a bonus on top of these two other vendors.

However, if a wedding videographer is out of your budget but you really want to capture the day through video – then a wedding content creator is an excellent second-best alternative.

In fact, we’re typically one of the most affordable vendors on your wedding day.

9. Capture The BTS Moments Too

Normally, wedding photographers/videographers do an amazing job at capturing the special, sentimental, beautiful moments on your day.

Sometimes the fun, smaller moments (like this one) are missed when focusing on these bigger moments. That’s where a wedding content creator can come in to capture the day through a more light-hearted way.

10. You Can Never Have Too Much Content!

After spending so much money and time on your wedding day, the last thing you want is to regret not capturing more content. After all, all we have after the day is your memories and the photos/videos.

Most photographers send about 600 photos of your day – which is amazing. But why not have more!

Wedding content creators usually send you over 1,000 photos and videos. As we like to say, there’s never too much content! No one ever regrets having too many photos of their wedding day.

11. Make your vendors happy too!

If all of that wasn’t enough to show you how amazing it is to have a wedding content creator – here’s one more reason!

Wedding content creators are usually a bonus for the rest of your vendors too as they can send their content to them.

Your vendors like the wedding planner, florists, musicians usually are so busy that they don’t have time to capture content of their work. They love having wedding content creators there to capture their work and send it to them!
