Behind-the-scenes clips and same-night reels, captured the way your friends would if they were not busy being guests.
A wedding content creator is not a second photographer. They capture the day the way your friends would if they were not busy being guests: vertically, quickly, on a phone, and in your hands within hours rather than weeks.
Our couples book them for the gap that photography has always left. The morning in the room, the walk to the ceremony, the first hour of the party, and the little moments in between, delivered the same night while everyone is still awake to watch them. We brief creators to stay unobtrusive and to work alongside your photographer and videographer, not across them.
We arrange content creators for weddings at wedding venues in the UK, Spain, Portugal, Italy and beyond. Browse our wedding venues to see where we plan.
A content creator follows the story of the day from the inside, filming short clips and photos made for sharing.
A content creator adds to your wedding photographer and videographer rather than replacing them. This is how the three compare.
| Content creator | Photographer | Videographer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equipment | Smartphone, gimbal and small lights | Professional cameras and lenses | Cinema cameras, microphones, often a drone |
| Style | Candid, vertical, behind the scenes | Composed, high-resolution stills | Cinematic, with sound and music |
| Delivery | Same day or within 24 to 48 hours | Sneak peeks in days, full gallery in weeks | Usually several months |
| Best for | Social media and reliving the day straight away | Albums, prints and the images you keep for life | A film of the vows, speeches and story |
The couples who love their content creator most are the ones who still book a great photographer. One gives you the night itself, the other gives you the heirlooms.
Vicky, Wedding Planner & Coordinator
From the first call to the same-night reel, this is how we plan it.
A call about your style, your must-have moments and the trends or sounds you love.
Behind-the-scenes clips of both of you, your friends and the final details.
Filmed discreetly from the side, staying out of your photographer's and videographer's shots.
Guest moments, messages, the first dance and the dancefloor at its best.
A same-night reel, then all the raw clips and photos shared with you within a day or two.
A few simple decisions before the day make a big difference to how your reels and clips turn out.
Choose someone already in the wedding party who knows lots of the guests, and agree the moments you want and anything you would rather not have filmed. Ask them to shoot in 4K, hold the phone steady or use a small tripod, and focus on real moments rather than posed shots. Most of all, make sure they still get to enjoy the day.
Content creators usually charge by the hour or by the day. The price depends on how many hours they cover, how many edited reels you want, how quickly you need them and whether they travel to your wedding.
For a wedding abroad, a creator based at your destination is usually better value than flying one out from home, and they already know the venues. Half-day coverage, from getting ready to the first hour of the party, is the most popular choice and covers the moments that matter most for social media.

Wedding content creation is a newer service, so there are no country-by-country surveys yet. These are typical ranges in the currency each source reports, and we give you itemised quotes for your date and destination.
Ask to see full wedding reels, not just one viral clip. Then get these answers in writing.
We find a creator who suits your style and fit them into the day alongside your photographer and videographer. Read more about our wedding planners and our wedding coordination service below.
As destination wedding planners, we shortlist content creators by style and budget, check their full reels and contracts, and brief them on your must-have moments and your other suppliers.

Getting married in Spain had always been our dream, and it exceeded every expectation. The planning process was enjoyable from start to finish, and every question we had was answered quickly and honestly. Our guests described it as the best wedding they'd ever attended, and we couldn't agree more.
Working with Miriam was an absolute pleasure. She understood exactly what we wanted and made every stage of planning enjoyable. We felt supported from beginning to end.
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planning experience. Every recommendation was perfect, communication was excellent and everything ran exactly as planned on the day. We were able to relax and enjoy every minute with our family and friends, knowing everything was being taken care of behind the scenes. It was simply unforgettable.

A wedding content creator films and photographs your day on a smartphone, focusing on behind-the-scenes moments, guest reactions and the party. They edit short vertical reels made for social media and deliver them the same night or within a day or two.
No. A videographer uses professional cameras and microphones to make a cinematic film, usually delivered months later. A content creator works on a phone and delivers quick, candid clips within hours. Many couples book both, as they do different jobs.
Yes. A content creator does not replace a professional photographer. Phone footage is perfect for sharing, but your photographer produces the high-resolution images you will print, frame and keep for life.
Most creators send a first reel on the night or the next morning, and all the raw clips and photos within 24 to 48 hours. Extra edited reels usually follow within a week. Check the exact timings before you book.
Half a day, from getting ready to the first hour of the party, covers the moments most couples want. Full-day coverage adds the dancefloor and late-night highlights, and some couples add the welcome party or the day after.
Not if they are briefed properly. Good creators work from the side, move quickly and stay out of the photographer's and videographer's shots. We share the running order with every supplier so they all know where to stand.
Only if you agree. Many creators like to share their work, so decide before the day whether they can post your wedding, and whether faces, names or the venue should stay private.
Yes. A creator based at your destination is usually better value and already knows the venues. Alternatively, a creator can travel with you from home, with flights and accommodation added to the price.
It is worth considering. Asking guests to put their phones away during the vows means your photographer, videographer and content creator capture faces rather than screens, and everyone is fully present for the moment. Your content creator will share clips afterwards anyway.
If you want to share first, ask guests to wait, but keep it short, ideally no longer than 24 hours. People tend to post in the moment, and after a day or two most will not share at all.
