Wedding content creation is an alternative (or addition) to videography & photography that provides more raw, vertically captured videos and still images that are social ready with a rapid turnaround time!
Your wedding will be incredible, it will also happen very quickly! You want to be able to relive as much of it as you possibly can and you may want to be able to share that with others on social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok or Facebook.
The content creator will be there throughout the day capturing everything that happens as short video clips or photos, in a vertical format which means it is social ready, using minimal, low key equipment allowing them to blend in as a guest unnoticed.
This means these memories are extremely authentic, easy to view and share as individual standalone moments or for them to be edited into a series of moments as you desire.
The great thing about content creation is you don’t need to wait to receive those visual memories because there is a lot less editing involved in the process of delivering your photos and videos.
This means you can expect your entire collection of content form the wedding day to be delivered the day after your wedding!
Imagine reliving all of those amazing moments before you have even left the venue.
I offer a few options when it comes to wedding content creation packages, but you will receive at least a hundred individual video clips (lasting from a few seconds up to around 1 minute) and still image photos, all captured in vertical format (9:16 or 4:5 aspect ratio).
An edited highlight video reel around 60 second in length showcasing the best bits from your wedding day. (Edits may be graded in a mixture of colour or black and white.)
Depending on the package chosen additional edited reels may be created.
All files will be delivered through a google drive link.
As I want to work discreetly and efficiently the cornerstone of my process relies on capturing day on the latest Apple iPhone – just like a guest, but one who is a highly experienced photographer and filmmaker!
To ensure the highest quality images are captured for parts of the day I may use a small handheld gimbal to stabilise the phone and I may even use a drone to capture some aerial footage if it is safe and appropriate.
I may also use additional pieces of equipment to get the best results, these could be small microphones / audio recorders, DJI Osmo Pocket, and Insta 360 cameras.
There are a number of distinguishable differences between hiring a photographer / videographer to capture your wedding and a content creator. The first being the intention behind the role.
A photographer / videographer is quite an integral role at your wedding, you are trusting them to comprehensively document your day and provide high quality memories that will last a lifetime. A content creator is typically an additional role that is capturing less polished memories similar to what you might capture of your own life day to day, or that guests using a mobile phone my capture at your wedding.
Rather than using larger, professional cameras, lenses and other equipment, a content creator typically used a mobile phone camera or similar. This allows for a less formal and distracting set-up and creates a less complex and faster workflow for processing images and video clips. This means the memories captured can be delivered quicker, typically within a few days of the wedding rather than weeks or even months later.
The memories from a professional filmmaker or photographer will be of a higher quality and will be well worth the wait, but if you want to see memories from your wedding as soon as possible a content creator can make this possible. Content creators typically capture things in a vertical aspect ratio, which means they are social ready and I the perfect format for sharing on instagram etc.
Typically the cost of a content creator is lower than that of a professional wedding photographer or wedding videographer for a number of reasons including: significantly cheaper equipment, lower level of skill and training required, lower business running costs, vastly reduced editing times.
For some couples, cost may be a factor in choosing to hire a content creator instead of a professional photographer and / or filmmaker. For others, hiring a content creator will be an additional role alongside a photographer / videographer. This is why I offer different packages to accommodate the different requirements.
Hopefully you would hire me as your content creator because you have looked at my work and like it, and have read my about page and think I would be a good fit to be around you and your guests on this important day. But if you need a little more convincing there is an ‘Ace up my sleeve’!
What makes me an amazing wedding content creator is that I didn’t set out to be a content creator. I have almost 10 years as a professional videographer and photographer with experience of hundreds of weddings under my belt. I know weddings inside out, I am great with people and I can capture exceptional memories with a camera.
So having the freedom to capture the day in more of a behind the scenes capacity, with minimal equipment meaning it is easy to move around and blend in enables me to get incredible results. Rather than being someone who has a phone and enjoys using social media who decided to become a content creator, I am a expert in multi-media content creation who is using those skills in a new, innovative way!
You will get a short (typically under 60 seconds), creatively edited highlight reel showcasing all of the key parts of your wedding day in something fun and quick to watch. This is perfect for sharing as an Instagram reel, TikTok or YouTube short.
Using my phone and other devices I capture short video clips and still images throughout the day so that you get to see the entire day as a series of authentic behind the scenes clips. I send you all of these social ready files so that you can download them and either view/share them as individual moments, or you can edit them together in your own style to create your own reels.
