Know your wedding Content creator wingman (or woman!)
Your wedding day is full of moments you can’t get back—the way your partner looks at you, the laughter during the toasts, the tiny, beautiful details you’ll forget in a blur of excitement. That’s why choosing the right content creatormatters so much. You’re not just hiring someone to press record—you’re investing in someone who will preserve your story with heart.
Know what kind of storytelling you want.
Some creators thrive on cinematic, emotional films with music and dramatic visuals. Others have a documentary, natural vibe where they capture real, candid moments as they unfold. There’s no “best” style—only what feels true to you. Take time to watch full wedding films (not just highlight reels) and see which ones make your heart skip a beat.
Look for someone who vibes with you.
A great content creator should feel like a trusted friend on your wedding day—not a stranger wielding equipment. You’ll see them throughout your timeline, up close during big moments. If their personality relaxes you, that’s a huge win. Comfort equals better moments captured.
Communication is everything.
The best creators ask thoughtful questions, listen to your priorities, and help shape your vision—not just take orders. They’ll want to know what moments matter most: first look? vows? grandma’s dance moves? This ensures they focus on what you care about.
Check logistics (because they matter!).
Ask about:
Audio capture (vows and speeches are priceless)
How many creators will be there (one shooter vs a team)
Backup plans & equipment
How long it takes to get your final film
What you’ll receive (full film? short film? reels for social?)
Beyond gear and style—trust their eye.
A content creator with a strong creative sense sees moments others miss. They don’t just record events—they curate emotion: the tear tucked behind a smile, the way sunlight hits the dance floor, the glances you give each other when you think no one’s watching.
And finally—remember this:
You’re not just hiring someone to document what happened… you’re hiring someone to help you feel what you felt every time you press play years from now. Choose someone whose work makes your heart flutter, and whose presence on your day feels like a supportive hug.
Your love story deserves that kind of care! -Dan
