Making your moments special with a professional Wedding Videographer is a norm, but keeping up with the new wedding trends to create the trending reels for your social media handles is not everyone’s cup of tea, so why not hire a Content Creator too?
Planning a wedding is the most exciting and memorable time of your life, but managing it alone is a hassle as well. You hire a designer for the wedding dress, an event planner to manage the venue and decor, and a caterer to sort out the menu, so why not the videography? Before you hire a videographer for the upcoming wedding in your family, let us give you some information on what and why you should hire.
Hiring a wedding Videographer or a Content Creator? Should you hire both? Is it worth it?
The best option is to hire a professional videographer to cover all the precious moments of your wedding, but there’s a catch. Wedding Videography is bound to provide you with detailed wedding videos that are lengthy and are not suitable to upload on your social media handles like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. On the other hand, a Content Creator films the shortest yet the most happening highlights of your wedding to share on all the social media platforms.
Well, this is the basic difference, you can say, but there’s a lot to add. Let’s dive into it:
A Diverse Coverage of Your Event
When you hire a videographer, you expect to see the videography around the stage or the ramp or only among the close guests. Videographers have a certain signature style and way of filming videos, close shots, and solo shots of the bride and groom that give you a memorable experience, but they are unable to film the tiny bits of the event.
However, hiring a Content Creator will unlock the magic of filming all the hustle and bustle of weddings and what goes around behind the scenes. They can be all around you without overwhelming you with the big camera like the usual videographers have. Content creators usually use an iPhone mobile camera so they can easily film the BTS, the moments before the bride’s entrance, or the lovely chatting or blessings of the guests.
A Personalized Experience
The best shots of your wedding can be achieved by hiring a Wedding Videographer. They can film the videos of all the precious moments, making you stress-free about the keepsakes. But if you are looking for a more personalized experience and want to add your own unique touch to your wedding, you should opt for a Content Creator.
A Content Creator will never let you miss the tiny details of the wedding. Be it the bride getting ready or the guest’s arrival, a beautiful smile on the bride’s face, or the grandfather showering his blessings, a Content Creator will make sure that nothing goes unnoticed.
Trendy Content
Making trendy Insta reels, posting relevant hashtags, or writing thoughtful captions can be a bit too overwhelming during a wedding. A Wedding Videographer will definitely do the entire wedding shoot for you but won’t take the excess burden of posting on your social handles.
If you want to have a trendy wedding in the town, you must go for a Content Creator, as they will provide you with short reels/story highlights of your wedding within 24 to 48 hours. Now, you are all set to enjoy your wedding without having to worry about the trending Content for your social media accounts.
Quick Access to Videos
Gone are the days when you have to wait for several weeks to get your hands on the wedding videos. These days Wedding Videographers will take up to 2-3 weeks to deliver the entire wedding movie to you. This required time of 2-3 weeks is essential as they have the work load and the videos need some work on the editing and sounds.
But if you are an impatient person and can’t wait to see your wedding highlights the next morning of your wedding day, Content Creators will be your best bet. Most of the Content Creators will amaze you with their storytelling skills and quick delivery as early as within a day or two.
Use of Quality Equipment
Another main difference among Wedding Videographers and Content Creators is the use of quality video cameras and gears for filming the wedding videos. A skilled Videographer will always use high-resolution cameras, top-notch gears and another tools to get the best results. On the contrary, Content Creators use a latest iPhone or any other mobile phone with a good camera. They will surely provide you with the tiny bits of the most amazing moments from your entire wedding but their quality will not be as good as you can expect from the professional videographers. However, hiring both can be a good option to get the desired results.
Take the Load Off your Shoulders
Being the bride or the groom, you can’t take the responsibility of everything. It is your big day, your day to enjoy and have fun. Save yourself the hassle and hire a professional Wedding Videographer to do the job. You will thank yourself later on as a videographer who will film all the noteworthy moments of your wedding. They will take long shots of the entrance, presence, and departure of the bride and the groom, making sure that they won’t miss any necessary details.
On the other hand, if you hire a Content Creator alongside your Wedding Videographer (as it is recommended by most videographers as well), he will get some short clips of random, candid guest conversations, tiny titbits of the event, BTS clips of the wedding day and this all will be done without you stressing over everyone to record the worthy moments.
Budget-Friendly Options
A Wedding Videographer is a professional one whose job is to provide you with high resolution quality videos, with top-notch audio quality. As you know that quality comes at a price, so it is better to make some budget for the Wedding Videography.
However, if you are a little tight on budget, you can hire a Content Creator for your wedding. A Content Creator will ensure you get the most out of your wedding videos without having to compromise on your budget, but they can never provide you with high-quality videos on their mobile phones.
It is better to have a Wedding Videographer if you wish to have a detailed and brief videos of the entire event. Hiring a Content Creator only will not do the justice to the majestic event you are celebrating.
Final Words
We have elaborated in detail on the job descriptions of both the wedding videographer and the content creator. Now, it’s your choice to compare between the two and choose wisely.
If you don’t have a compromised budget, we would suggest you to hire both, a Wedding Videographer and a Content Creator, to have the perfect experience at your wedding. In this way, you will not only get the detailed videos for the close family or for the keepsake but also some trendy reels to post on all your social media platforms.
