A content creator tells your wedding story differently to traditional photography

Wedding social media influencers in southern Spain
Specialist creators areย social media influencers who add value to a wedding when you might already have booked a more conventional photographer and videographer by capturing raw footage and candid images that a traditional team might miss – they can’t be everywhere at once after all!
With expert use of high tech mobile phones and constantly updated apps, your behind the scenes wedding action can easily be uploaded to your TikTok and Instagram Reels for all of your social media friends to see instantly.
Whilst some content creators request admin access to your social media accounts, others like Denisa from Michal Carbol Photography share their work in real time at the event, by posting to their own account… which you can then share.
Check with your creator, but memory videos are generally edited 24 hours at the latest after your event.
In summary, your content creator really is your wedding bestie, giving all your real guests “virtual permission” to put their phones down, be present in the moment and BE PART OF THE MEDIA THEMSELVES! If all of your guests tag themselves and repost next day, just think of the number of likes and exponential shares… you’ll go viral in no time!!!
