Content Creation vs Videography
How does wedding content creation differ from traditional videography? First there is no mic – crisp recordings of your vows would be the videographer’s job. Content creators focus on capturing spontaneous and behind the scenes moments. This would include candid interactions between the wedding party and/or family members, plus small intimate moments that might not be polished enough for a professional highlight reel. As a venue, we do a lot of this on wedding day to share for future couples to see “behind the scenes” on wedding day.
Some of the amazing local videographers that we recommend are With This Ring, Bear Wallow Film Co., Shutter Vault Productions, Megan Rae Films, John Myers Photo/Video, BK Qualls Creations, and TMT Weddings.
