In case you haven't heard, the latest wedding trend is to have a dedicated person on-hand to capture social media-ready videos and photos using their phone. Called a wedding content creator, many couples are opting to book this new wedding supplier as an additional way to document their day.
And it seems like the trend is here to stay. In a recent Bridebook study, it was discovered that one-in-three Gen Z couples are opting for an unplugged, tech-free wedding day. In this instance, wedding content creators are an ideal solution, as they can discreetly document key moments and details, leaving guests free to just enjoy the day.
Wondering what a wedding content creator actually does, and whether you need one at your wedding? We chat to nine Scottish content creators to find out how it all works – from prices to what you’ll receive after the wedding.
What is a wedding content creator?
In essence, a content creator is there to film moments from your day and edit them into videos and photos which are tailored for social media sharing.
Erin of Erin's Little Lens, a Scottish content creator, describes her role as: "your personal behind-the-scenes best friend. There to help capture your story and day as a whole through the little lens of an iPhone, giving you a true authentic guest perspective."
So what exactly are they doing while at the wedding? Let's Do It Creative founder Gemma explains: "A content creator captures images and videos throughout the wedding day, discreetly and unobtrusively, using a smartphone to allow guests to have a completely unplugged experience."

What does a content creator capture at a wedding?
"Unlike a traditional wedding photographer or videographer, I'll focus on the candid, behind-the-scenes footage that can be edited quickly and posted to platforms like Instagram, TikTok or Facebook," Happily Ever Captured's Kerry explains.
This can include: "the unedited, unretouched bits of the day, the laughs and tears," Unveiled Moments owner Emma tells us. "I cover real-life moments along with all the details of the day. This includes the floral arrangements, the venue's decor and the bridesmaids' attire."
And don't worry if you have something in mind you want filmed. Content By Gail assures: "I will always have a run through with the couple before their wedding day and ask if they would like any specific content captured, for example any family members' reactions or if there are any surprises to be ready for and not to be missed."
What parts of a wedding does a content creator capture?
"From the nervous giggles before the ceremony to the confetti toss and the wild dance floor moves, I’m there to document it all in a relaxed, non-intrusive way," Christin of The Perfect Day Club tells us.
As well as capturing the overall day, your content creator will be on hand to document all of the really meaningful moments too. Content By Gail shares that one of her favourite things to capture is "the father of the bride seeing his daughter for the first time. It's so special."

How long is a content creator at the wedding for?
You’ll typically be able to choose from a range of options depending on what you would like the content creator to film, including getting ready in the morning, the ceremony, speeches or dancing the night away.
Fifteen Wedding and Events offers packages “of all sizes, from a few hours all the way up to a full day (10-11 hours on average)," as owner Lianna explains.
Speaking of timings, Let's Do It Creative tells us: “Full days tend to kick off two to three hours before the ceremony and end a couple of songs into the party. Then, many content creators head home to start the culling and editing process to make the 24-hour deadline.”
What kind of videos do wedding content creators film?
"I focus more on storytelling than trends," Ashley of AMCK Socials tells us. "I aim to capture authentic moments and emotions, although I am happy to recreate some fun trending content if this is what you are looking for."
The Perfect Day Club adds: "During our consultation call, we’ll chat through exactly what you’d love to see – whether that’s heartfelt highlight reels, fun and trendy videos for social media, or photo collages of all those behind-the-scenes moments. My goal is to create content that feels personal, meaningful, and truly you – something you’ll treasure forever."

Who should book a wedding content creator?
You might be thinking this new wedding service is only for the Instagram-obsessed, but that’s not always the case.
“A content creator can be for any couple. You don't need to be an influencer or have a large social following to want a content creator,” Lianna of Fifteen Wedding and Events explains. “It is for any couple who want to have that extra way to relive their wedding day in the most raw way possible and within 24 hours.”
Caitlyn, who runs Candid Content, echoes this, saying: “I have bookings with couples of all ages who want something to look back on the next day and send to family and friends in short form.”
With AMCK Socials founder Ashley agreeing: “Content creators are great for couples who want a modern take on wedding memories. It’s ideal for capturing moments in a unique, shareable way.”
The Perfect Day Club adds: "Whether you’re camera-shy or confident, my relaxed, friendly approach ensures you feel at ease while I capture real, emotional moments, delivering trendy, shareable content with a fast 24-hour turnaround – all while keeping things fun and stress-free."
What does a wedding content creator use to film?
The latest smartphone is a must-have for wedding content creators to capture high quality content, with Fifteen Wedding and Events adding that they also bring “a gimbal, various tripods, ring lights and a small digital camera,” as part of their kit.
Speaking about the type of content this allows them to record, Unveiled Moments adds: “I use the most recent iPhone, which records in 24K or cinematic format. To get amazing stills of the day, I also utilise a couple more powershot cameras and a top-quality gimbal for smooth video focus."

What will I receive after the wedding?
When booking Content by Gail, you will receive: "Short videos, candid, natural photos and lightly edited reels."
Speaking more specifically about what is sent, Let's Do It Creative adds: "The next day, I deliver ready-to-post reels/TikToks (mix of audio and no sound so they can add trending music), hundreds of lightly edited images (portrait, landscape, colour, black and white), and raw video snippets with sound (where possible) to allow them to create their own content if they wish."
Wedding films and photos delivered within 24 hours
While photographers and videographers will spend weeks collating and editing your wedding photos and films, content creators' work is designed to be turned around much faster, so you can start posting about your wedding as soon as possible – and have something to tide you over while you wait for your full wedding album and film.
Content By Gail adds: "All content will be delivered within 24 hours – aiming for delivery by noon the following day."
More specifically, Happily Ever Captured adds: "24 hours after their big day, couples will receive a full gallery of raw, unfiltered photos/clips as well as some edited reels ready to share with loved ones."
How is the content shared after the wedding?
Once the content creator has collated all of the footage and images, they will each have their own way of sharing this content in the most high-quality format.
Let’s Do It Creative advises couples hoping to share content with friends and family: “Please don’t share the videos via WhatsApp or other communication apps as they reduce the quality of the video(s) and make it/them blurry; this breaks my heart!”
Adding how she shares her content with couples she says: “All of the content is delivered by Google Drive or similar, with step-by-step instructions on how best to access it.”
Meanwhile, Candid Content sends a Dropbox file the next morning, “usually with a full day or couple's highlight edit. The rest of the edits are provided within 24 hours.”

What is the process like when booking a wedding content creator?
Typically once you’ve booked your content creator, they will reach out to start finding out details about your wedding and what you’d like them to capture. This often is done through a questionnaire before you have more detailed chats with them in the lead up to the wedding.
Unveiled Moments reveals that getting to know each couple helps her know what to focus on in terms of content on the day. “I offer one-to-one video calls to my couples to get to know them on a more personal level. They need to trust the service and the content creator they've chosen to add to their day, therefore I constantly make an effort to keep in touch.”
As for the timeline this might follow, Candid Content says: “I have a questionnaire to fill out when you enquire. Once you book, I send a few emails checking in and then around four to six weeks before the wedding I send a further questionnaire to complete and we have a consultation via phone, video or in person.”
These pre-wedding consultations are important in shaping what the content creator will focus on to make sure nothing is missed! “We usually have a pre-wedding consultation to understand your preferences, key moments, and any must-have shots. We discuss timelines and the overall vibe of the wedding,” explains AMCK Socials.
What are the benefits of hiring a content creator for your wedding?
As well as offering couples the chance to have an unplugged ceremony without missing a thing, Happily Ever Captured adds: "It takes the pressure off guests or the bridal party to take photos, so they can then enjoy their day and be present in the moment as I’ll be there to capture it all."
The Perfect Day Club reassures: "My relaxed, non-intrusive style means you and your guests can enjoy the day while I quietly document every beautiful detail. I create fun, on-trend highlight reels perfect for TikTok and Instagram or simply sharing with your loved ones who could not make it to the wedding."
And one of the biggest draws might just be how quickly you can have this content, as Unveiled Moments tells us: "One of the perks of having a content creator at your wedding is being able to relive these moments the very next day."

How is a content creator different from a photographer and videographer?
Wondering how a content creator ties in with your photographer or videographer? These creatives make it clear that their services work alongside your photographer and videographer, and they don't replace them.
Content creators would usually capture footage in an upright tall video aspect ratio of 9:16 for example, just like you encounter on TikToks and Reels, while a videographer often works in a wider screen or landscape aspect ratio, in keeping with a more polished, cinematic style.
Happily Ever Captured stresses: "A wedding content creator compliments your wedding photographer and videographer. We do not replace. We work well as a team and do not get in the way of each other."
Explaining the difference, Erin's Little Lens says: "Photographers and videographers use advanced equipment to produce timeless keepsakes, with delivery times typically ranging from two to 15 weeks.
"Wedding content creators, on the other hand, create short-form videos and photos that offer a guest’s-eye view. The content is usually delivered within 24 to 48 hours, allowing you to relive and share these authentic moments almost immediately."
AMCK Socials agrees, adding: "Content creators focus on creating social media-friendly, bite-sized content throughout the day."

How much does a wedding content creator in Scotland cost?
This varies depending on the individual content creator, which package you choose, how many hours of coverage you like and travel costs. But typically, it "can vary from £200 to £1000 depending on packages," Candid Content explains.
Wedding content creator packages
Most wedding content creators offer several packages, as well as the option to create something tailored to your needs. These packages will typically range in price based on how many hours of coverage you want as well as the number of deliverables, such as ready-made reels and photos.
Erin's Little Lens says of her packages: “I offer three different packages which can be tailored to each couple depending on what they are looking for. No matter which package you choose, you’ll receive all your content within 24 to 48 hours after your big day – including all unedited raw images and videos, plus your beautifully edited reels.”
Fifteen Wedding and Events, "Depending on your package, you would receive hundreds of unedited videos and photos, a range of black and white images and two to four pre-edited reels which are ready to share."
Can I have a content creator for my elopement?
Content creators can be hired for all types of weddings. Let’s Do It Creative tells us: “Elopements are welcome – having eloped myself, I’m more than happy to answer any questions you might have.”
With Content by Gail adding: "For intimate weddings I adapt to what the couple wants from the content, and offer a detailed run-through – including coverage of the venue and the smaller details."

How to find the right content creator for your wedding
As with all wedding suppliers, the choice of who to hire is totally personal to you as a couple and will depend on what they offer and also how you get along with them.
Sharing some advice, Erin's Little Lens says: "I highly recommend researching your suppliers to make sure their style matches yours, because there’s truly no one-size-fits-all approach."

Reminiscing about a recent wedding, Gemma adds: "Filming the singing servers was a hoot! The bride had kept this a secret, and the husband was visibly confused as to why I’d film someone falling over until they started belting out 'I wanna have myself a real good timeeee'. Hilarious!"
