Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wedding content creator?

A wedding content creator is a social media specialist dedicated to capturing and producing iPhone content for weddings. Think of me as your personal social media paparazzi, snapping all the behind-the-scenes magic with short videos and photos perfect for Instagram Stories, Reels, and TikTok.

We’re all about helping you document and cherish one of the most important days of your life. Our mission is to share your wedding in a fun and meaningful way, crafting engaging and beautiful content that tells the story of your big day in a way everyone will love!

What makes Unveil the Day unique and stand out amongst other wedding content creators?

What makes my work unique is that while I capture all those amazing spontaneous and behind-the-scenes moments throughout the day, I do this through the lens of a professionally trained art director. I love to find cinematic-looking angles and perspectives while capturing those real moments of the day.

I differentiate myself from other wedding content creators through my distinctive approach and unique style of capturing and editing. I ensure every couple feels comfortable so their true personalities shine through. I like to feel the energy of the day by swapping between different techniques. These techniques create a cinematic and real feeling while still being incredibly candid. I also throw in some very cinematic shots if that is what the couple wants, catering to each couple’s preferences.

Why would a couple need a wedding content creator in addition to their photographer and videographer?

The content that a wedding content creator captures does not replace your photographer or videographer. The content captured is focused on short-form video and photo optimized for your social media channels. Some also love the ease of short-form content even if they do not have social media. This is the digital age, of course! If a couple sees a certain trend they want to recreate, I have extensive knowledge in planning and executing on your big day. A wedding day is a single-day production in my opinion.

Why hire a content creator? What are the benefits?

You and your loved ones want to remain completely present on your big day. At many weddings, the bride and groom, family members and bridesmaids are on their phones trying to capture those in-between moments, often missing the magic of the day.

As a professional art director and expert wedding content creator, I have experience in concepting, capturing, and editing high-quality content for you. I’ve worked with big brands like T-Mobile and Chevrolet, making wedding content creation second nature to me.

Hiring a wedding content creator allows you all to stay present in the moment. The best part is you get to relive your day the very next day.

What should a couple look for when hiring a wedding content creator and what questions should they ask during their consultation call?

When hiring a wedding content creator, choose someone whose editing style matches your vision. Ensure they are social media experts with the technical skills to shoot high-quality videos and photos on an iPhone. The right angles, lighting, and use of various iPhone features and tools are essential for capturing the perfect shot.

Your wedding content creator should also be highly professional and a great personality fit, making you and your guests feel at ease during intimate moments. Discuss how they handle stressful situations and their ability to collaborate with your photographer and videographer. They should be comfortable giving directions and respectful of the other vendors. Go over their editing style to make sure it aligns with your expectations.

What does Unveil the Day’s process look like from start to finish?

Our process at Unveil the Day is straightforward. Once a couple inquires about our services, we determine availability and if the client seems like a good fit. From there, we send over our packages/pricing and set up the initial consultation call.

We discuss all the creative details and budget with our clients, then I send over a sample proposal based on our conversation.

When they decide to work with Unveil the Day, an agreement and invoice are sent to secure their date, along with a pre-wedding questionnaire. This questionnaire includes logistical and creative questions like “What are your can’t-miss moments?” and “Are there specific IG Reels or TikTok trends you want on your wedding day?” I want to understand your vision of the day.

Next, we create a shot list and have a pre-wedding consultation call with the couple, sometimes including their wedding planner. I’d be happy to meet your photographer and videographer as well in case they have any questions about working with a content creator.

On the big day, I capture all the agreed-upon content, ensuring all those behind-the-scenes moments are documented from start to finish. Afterward, we upload and deliver all unedited/raw footage within 24 hours with the recap video/other edited videos within 48 hours.
