Your wedding day is one of the most photographed and filmed days of your life. You already know your photographer and videographer will deliver polished heirloom memories. But what about the candid, behind-the-scenes iPhone photos and videos you’ll want to rewatch and even share the very next day? That’s where a wedding content creator comes in.

Content creators are quickly becoming a must-have vendor for weddings across the globe. But since the role is still new, many brides-to-be don’t know what to ask when they’re considering hiring one.

This guide will walk you through the top questions to ask a wedding content creator, so you know you’re choosing the right person for your wedding day.

1. What Exactly Do You Deliver?

Every wedding content creator’s packages are a little different. Some include only raw clips and photos, while others bundle in edited recap videos or TikTok-style edits. You want to know exactly what you’re getting so expectations are crystal clear.

Be sure to ask:

  • Do you deliver raw footage, edited reels, or both?

  • About how much content will you shoot during the wedding?

  • How many recap videos are included?

 

 

2. How Fast Will We Receive Our Content?

One of the biggest selling points of a content creator is near-instant delivery. Some creators guarantee your content before you go to sleep that night, and many promise content delivery within 48-72 hours. If fast turnaround is the reason you’re booking, you need to confirm their exact timeline.

Ask:

  • Do you guarantee same-night delivery?

  • Will everything be ready by the morning after?

  • When exactly will the content be delivered?

  • What happens if there's an emergency when sending the content, such as lack of wifi? 

 

 

3. How Do You Deliver the Content?

Delivery methods vary, and it's important to understand precisely how your content arrives. A confusing or clunky delivery method can make it harder to access and save your memories, so be sure to find out if your content will be easy to download and save.

  • What platform do you use to deliver content (DropBox, Google Photos, iPhone album)?

  • How long will the album or link be available?

  • Do you provide instructions on how to download everything to our devices?

4. Can We See Examples of Your Work?

Just like photographers and videographers, content creators have unique styles. Some focus on cinematic reels, while others lean into trending TikTok-style edits with creative transitions. After seeing their portfolio, you’ll quickly know if their approach matches your taste.

  • Do you have a portfolio of wedding videos we can review?

  • Can we see an example of a full-day content gallery?

  • Do you have experience at weddings like ours? This specifically applies to religions and religious ceremonies, specific cultures, destinations, and venues. 

 

 

5. What Is Your Experience?

The role of a wedding content creator may be new, but many content creators have backgrounds in social media marketing or content creation for brands and events. Having a wedding content creator with a professional background in the field gives you confidence in their skills, storytelling, and professionalism.

Ask:

  • How many weddings have you covered?

  • What’s your background in content creation?

  • Have you worked as a content creator for major events or brands?

 

 

6. What Happens If Something Goes Wrong?

Like any vendor, it’s important to know their backup plan. Your wedding day only happens once, and you need assurance they have a plan for emergencies.

  • Do you carry backup equipment (extra batteries, lights, chargers)?

  • What happens if you’re sick and can't make the wedding?

  • What happens if there's an unexpected emergency the day of? 

7. How Do You Work With Photographers and Videographers?

A seasoned content creator will be able to blend seamlessly into your vendor team. You don’t want anyone blocking key shots, and you want the reassurance that your content creator enhances, not disrupts, what your vendor media team is there to do. 

Ask:

  • What's your approach to staying out of the photographer’s way?

  • Do you coordinate with other vendors beforehand?

  • Have you worked with photographers or videographers at our venue before? Specifically, have you worked with our photographer before?

 

 

8. How Do You Handle Travel and Destination Weddings?

In New Mexico especially, couples often marry in Santa Fe, Taos, Albuquerque, or remote desert venues. But no matter where your wedding is located, it's best to confirm if there are any travel fees involved in your content creation package. 

  • Are travel costs included in your packages?

  • Do you travel out-of-state, or out of the country?

  • If there is a travel fee, what is the amount, and is it ever subject to change?

 

9. How Do You Blend In With Guests?

A content creator spends most of the day in the middle of your crowd, phone in hand. Their energy and approachability matter just as much as their technical skills. A content creator who feels like a guest will capture more authentic, relaxed moments.

If they stick out or feel intrusive, guests may avoid the camera altogether.

  • How do you interact with family and friends while filming? Are you more like a fly on the wall, or will you approach and speak with guests? 

  • Do you dress to match the wedding vibe?

  • What’s your approach to staying present but unobtrusive?

10. How Do You Handle Different Lighting Situations?

Weddings move from natural light to dim receptions quickly, and it's important that your content creator is able to adapt to changing lighting. Poorly lit photos and videos can damper the quality of the content you'll receive, so be sure to ask:

  • How do you handle low-light or nighttime filming?

  • Do you use small, discreet lights when needed?

  • Can you show me examples of reception or dance floor footage?

 

 

Hiring a wedding content creator isn’t just about finding someone who can work an iPhone camera. It’s about hiring a professional who understands storytelling, works seamlessly with your vendor team and guests, and delivers high-quality content. 

By asking these key questions, you’ll feel confident that you’ve found the right content creator for your wedding day. And when you receive your content gallery, you’ll be so glad you did!
