When most couples begin planning their wedding, they immediately think about hiring a photographer and videographer. Those professionals are essential for preserving your day through timeless portraits and beautifully crafted films.
But over the last few years, another member has become an invaluable addition to the wedding vendor team: the wedding content creator.
As a New York wedding planner, we’ve seen firsthand how this role transforms the wedding experience. A content creator captures the authentic, behind-the-scenes moments of your celebration and delivers them within days, allowing you to relive your wedding while the excitement is still fresh. What’s not to like?
One of our favorite professionals to recommend is Daniella Sansotta, whose thoughtful approach and calming presence make her a wonderful addition to any wedding day.
From Wedding Videographer to Wedding Content Creator: Meet Daniella Sansotta
Daniella’s journey into weddings began behind a video camera.
She started her career as a wedding videographer with NST Pictures, where she quickly fell in love with the energy, emotion, and storytelling that make every wedding unique. As her career evolved, she became Creative Director, leading creative teams, managing production and editing workflows, and helping shape wedding films for couples across the country. That experience gave her something many content creators don’t have: a deep understanding of how wedding days unfold and how to capture meaningful moments without interrupting them.
Today, she combines that production expertise with a social-first approach, documenting weddings in a way that feels authentic, modern, and deeply personal.
What Does a Wedding Content Creator Actually Do?
This is one of the questions we hear most often from our couples. Unlike a photographer or videographer, a wedding content creator focuses on documenting your day as it naturally unfolds through the lens of your phone and social media.
Before the wedding, Daniella spends time getting to know each couple. She reviews the wedding timeline, discusses priorities, and creates a customized shot list centered around the moments that matter most.
On the wedding day, she captures:
- Getting ready scenes
- Wedding details
- Emotional first looks
- Behind-the-scenes moments
- Candid interactions
- Ceremony highlights
- Reception celebrations
- Fun moments your guests may never even notice
Because she works collaboratively with the photographer and videographer, everyone can focus on their specialty while creating a seamless experience for the couple.
Why Couples Love Wedding Content Creation
One of the biggest differences between traditional wedding media and content creation is speed. Instead of waiting several weeks—or even months—to relive your celebration, couples often receive beautifully edited social-ready videos within just a few days. That means while you’re still soaking in the excitement of your honeymoon, you can already revisit the laughter, happy tears, and unforgettable moments from your wedding day.
As planners, we love this because our couples often tell us how meaningful it is to have something to look back on immediately after such an emotional day.
Planning Tip
One of the reasons we love incorporating a wedding content creator into our weddings is because they capture the moments between the moments. That quiet conversation before walking down the aisle, your best friend’s reaction during the first dance. What about seeing your grandparents parents laughing together during cocktail hour. These fleeting interactions often become some of the most treasured memories from the day.
What Should You Look for When Hiring a Wedding Content Creator?
According to Daniella, choosing the right content creator goes beyond finding someone with beautiful videos.
She recommends couples look for someone whose style reflects their own personality and who understands how to tell their story authentically.
It’s also important to ask:
- What is included in the package?
- How quickly will content be delivered?
- How do they collaborate with photographers and videographers?
- What is their communication style before the wedding?
Experience in wedding environments is especially valuable because timing, flexibility, and professionalism make all the difference on a busy wedding day.
Why We Love Working with Daniella
As wedding planners, we carefully curate the professionals we recommend to our couples. Daniella brings a calm, collaborative energy that fits beautifully into the flow of a wedding day. She understands how to work alongside the entire creative team while staying focused on the genuine moments that make each celebration unique. Her background in wedding filmmaking gives her an intuitive understanding of storytelling, while her content creation allows couples to relive those memories almost immediately.
That combination makes her a wonderful resource for couples who value both beautiful imagery and authentic experiences.
Daniella’s Best Wedding Advice
One piece of advice Daniella shares with every couple is simple—but incredibly important:
Be present, your wedding day moves faster than you expect.
Instead of worrying about every detail, allow yourself to experience the laughter, the emotion, and the spontaneous moments that happen naturally.
She also encourages couples to build breathing room into their timeline. A less rushed day creates space for genuine interactions, beautiful photographs, and space to feel the day.
As planners, we couldn’t agree more! Some of the most magical moments happen when there is time to simply enjoy the celebration.
