One of the hottest new wedding vendors is a Wedding Content Creator. Everyone know that you need to hire a photographer and sometimes even a videographer. So, what can a wedding content creator even capture that these two wouldn’t? While they might not be for everyone they are certain an amazing way to get extra footage of your wedding day. This blog post will explain all about what wedding content creation is, what they do, and help you decide if you need one for your wedding day.
What is wedding content creation?
Over the last several years we seen the rise in content creation. Everyday millions of people post videos on any given social media app for their business, for fun, or because they’re an influencer. And with the rise of wanting to post more about your life online it should be no surprise that people want every possible angle of their wedding covered. Enter wedding content creation.
What started as a way to incorporate trending sounds and audio into fun transitions and silly videos has now transformed the wedding industry. Wedding content creation is essentially just one person taking behind the scenes videos of your wedding day.
While photographers focus of course on the aesthetic photos of your day and those in between memorable moments on digital and film photos. Videographers typically focus on telling a cinematic story of your day in a highlight video or 5-8 minute feature film. Wedding content creation is meant to be more casual just simply capturing snippets of videos throughout the day as they naturally occur.
What does a wedding content creator do?
So, what exactly does a wedding content creator do? Well while your photographer and videographer are you main directors for the day, a wedding content creator hangs right next to them capturing the day as it unfolds.
In addition to capturing alongside your wedding photographer and videographers they can also help you capture those fun silly videos with outfit transitions or trending wedding videos that you can post online if you want or just keep for the memories.
Do I need a wedding content creator?
At the end of the day you want and choose to hire for your big day is up to you. And while a wedding content creator does not replace a professional wedding photographer they can be a wonderful addition to the team. Many photographers, videographers, and even planners have started offering their services in addition to their main offering. By either including them in their packages or offering it as it’s own service.
For me personally, while I think amazing videography is definitely worth the cost I know a lot of couple don’t have an extra $8k or more to spend on video. And I think wedding content creation is amazing way to still have videos of the day without breaking the bank.
How much do wedding content creators cost?
Like any wedding vendors you can find wedding content creation at any and all price range. I’ve seen some charge $5k + travel expenses to $1500 for an 8 hour day to some people just starting and offering to do it for free if you pay for the cost of travel. At the end of the day, like with any other vendor the higher the cost, the more experience and the better your experience working with the vendor.
I would expect to spend anywhere from $1k to $3k for a wedding content creator that’s well versed in the wedding industry and know how to work well with the rest of the media team.
