If you are doing an Antigua Wedding, let me tell you, is a magical day that deserves to be remembered forever. But how do you capture all the special moments from that day?
By documenting all the behind-the-scenes moments and raw, unposed memories, something a content creator can help bring to life.
A Content Creator can help you relive those special moments through both photos and videos. From the excitement of getting ready to the final dance, they can capture all the details and emotions that make your wedding day truly unforgettable.
With a sharp eye for detail and a creative approach, a content creator can capture real, authentic moments, like: Behind-the-scenes glimpses, emotions and laughter shared with friends and family, intimate moments between you and your partner, and so much more. Wedding content creation doesn’t just capture moments, it turns them into timeless memories.
6 BENEFITS OF HIRING A WEDDING CONTENT CREATOR:
Unique Moments: Capture the behind-the-scenes moments, candid shots, and genuine emotions that complement the work of your photographer.
Enhanced Experience: Relive your special day with authentic and emotional memories.
Quick Turnaround: Get hundreds of photos and videos in 24-48 hours.
Unplugged Ceremonies: A great way to keep guests and the wedding party from getting distracted by their phones all night. They help you and your loved ones fully present in the moment while still capturing all those amazing, social media-worthy memories.
Relive the moment in the most authentic and real way: It’s perfect for destination weddings where some of your important guests can’t make it. You can still give them the opportunity to relive the day, beyond just social media.
No one left out: One downside of having some of your loved ones handle behind-the-scenes photos is that it can leave them out. They might miss something or not be able to fully enjoy the celebration. A Content Creator capturing the day ensures everyone is included.

Can you tell us a little about your wedding day and why you chose Antigua, Guatemala as your destination?
I (Alessandra) was born and raised in Guatemala. Antigua Guatemala is where I grew up going to weddings. I remember being my cousin's flower girl when I was about 7 years old, and since then always dreamt of the day I would get to have my wedding in Antigua Guatemala. It was the first place Javi and I traveled together to, and I got to show him the magic of Antigua.
What do you get when you combine a vibrant Guatemalan woman and a Honduran with Caribbean descent, who met in New Orleans and are starting a life together in Texas? A colorful weekend in Antigua Guatemala with 250 from all over the world celebrating their love under a disco ball and flower installation during a 10 hour extravaganza!
What made you decide to hire a wedding content creator for your special day?
I’m a social media and influencer marketing freelancer so part of the job is knowing what is trendy, and wedding content creation had just started to become popular, especially on TikTok. I had the best experience wedding planning and thought our wedding ended up feeling super unique so I wanted to have the ability to have content beyond photos and the wedding video to create my own TikToks and Reels to share on my social media channels.
What were your initial expectations for wedding content creation?
When I was getting married there were no wedding content creators in Guatemala so it was challenging to first know if the people I reached out to were going to understand what I needed. I was constantly referred to social media agencies but I didn’t think they were going to get it, that’s when I discovered Fer the founder of Sensia Studio.
Fer wasn’t just a photographer—she also had extensive experience as an influencer/content creator, specializing in capturing events with beautiful, engaging videos. It was the perfect combination!
I loved the work Sensia Studio showcased—the aesthetic, the attention to detail, and the overall vibe. Plus, Fer’s personality and approach made it clear she would be an invaluable addition to my wedding content team. It was the best decision I could’ve made!
How did the final results compare?
I was blown away, in fact I even think it was a better investment that my photos and videos not only because I had to wait 8 months for photos to be delivered and 3 months for the video but because Fer truly captured EVERYTHING. From my reactions, to the tiniest details, and the most special moments, you’d think she was everywhere at all times because she truly captured all the things!
We had planned 1-2 trends to create but I also didn’t want my wedding to feel like a photo and content shoot, so we kept the planned ones to a minimum and I then used all the captured content to create SO many videos + they’re just great to look at whenever I feel nostalgic about my bridal era.
What specific moments or details were most important for you to have captured?
When you’re the bride, the day just flies by and although my husband and I were super intentional about having time to take it all in, I wanted Fer to capture the moments that I would be living that day without me having to worry of what was and was not being captured if that makes sense. She was my “eyes” and I told her to capture it all. Like I said, I didn’t want to and don’t recommend you turn your wedding into something that is just for photos and content, so having her capturing everything through her aesthetic eye was all I wanted!
How did having a content creator enhance your wedding day experience?
As an avid social media user, I wanted to capture moments that felt real and authentic. Don’t get me wrong I liked my photos and videos but some feel staged and are of course of higher production value, these moments helped me proudly show off the 2 years of planning, how the vision came to life and how much fun we had. Plus Fer was such an amazing person to have around at all times, she was like an unofficial bridesmaid who in 24 hours turned in the most amazing content so I can relive the day forever.
How did you feel when you saw the behind-the-scenes content and highlight videos?
It was soooo excited and emotional because I got to see it all when I woke up the next day. My husband and I spent the afternoon after our wedding day reliving it all!
What’s your favorite piece of content we created from your wedding? Why?
Some of my favorite pieces of content are actually from our welcome party. I honestly never put too much thought into the photography or video of that day and although I loved them, the content creation was extra special because we had some slow moments before the craziness where we got to create some content before the festivities kicked off. This included content of my welcome party dress which I loved so much, content that included my mom and content that included Javi and I as a couple.
Would you recommend hiring a wedding content creator to other couples? Why?
Absolutely! My friends and some of my vendors at the time had no idea why I was hiring one and when they saw what we captured they thought it was a genius idea (and it indeed was)!
I think if you’re someone who loves social media and having content is important to you, you need to hire a wedding content creator. Don’t rely on your bridesmaids taking the content, let them have fun and let a professional handle it so you can all be happy with the end result!
What advice would you give to couples considering wedding content creation?
1. Make sure your content creator’s style is compatible with what you want and that your personalities align, you’re going to be spending a lot of time with them on that day!
2. Let the content creator take the lead on what to capture, you should provide general direction but don’t make your wedding a content shoot because you’re meant to enjoy your wedding and the content will reflect how much you enjoyed that day!
What did you love most about working with us as your content creators?
I think we both took a leap of faith working together given it was Fer's first time capturing wedding content, and I simply liked her style and personality so I knew whatever we captured would be great. And it was! Fer was so sweet, helpful, creative and went above and beyond for us on our wedding day! At the end of the weekend we even said she was like one of the cousins because we got along so well. Fer was extremely communicative, on time and reliable since the beginning and I would work again with her in a heartbeat. T-8 years for my dream anniversary party, hope she’s available!
DOES EVERY COUPLE NEED A WEDDING CONTENT CREATOR?
Is normal to think that wedding content creators are only for couples who love to post on social media, but that’s not necessarily true. You don’t need to be an influencer or have a big online following to hire one. So why are couples who don't use social media hiring content creators? It's because they want to preserve the magic of their wedding day. They want to be able to look back on their special day and relive the emotions, the laughter, and the love. And that's something that's truly priceless.
Official photos are wonderful, but the truth is, they're often the moments that get lost in the rush and excitement of the day. The laughter, the tears, the whispers, and the glances, these are the moments that make a wedding day truly special. That's where a content creator comes in. They're there to capture the in-between moments, the moments that might otherwise go unseen. They're there to tell the story of your wedding day in a way that's authentic, emotional, and truly unforgettable.
When you hire a content creator, you're not just getting a bunch of photos and videos. You're getting a family heirloom, a beautiful, lasting record of your special day that you can treasure for years to come, reliving the moments over and over again.
No Pressure, Just Your Preference
We completely understand that hiring a content creator might not be for every couple. Maybe you're not comfortable with a camera following you around all day, or perhaps you're totally fine with your guests sharing moments from your special day on social media in real-time. That's totally okay! Your wedding day is all about what makes you happy, and it's totally up to you to decide how you want to capture those special memories.
THE WEDDING CONTENT CREATION EXPERIENCE IS A GAME CHANGER
We know there are a million decisions to make, when we talk about weddings, and it can get overwhelming. But let me tell you, hiring a content creator for your special day would completely change the experience.
You're probably thinking, 'Do I really need someone to capture my wedding? Can't my friends and family just take some photos and videos?' But your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and you deserve to have it captured in a way that's just as special. Without taking anyone out of the moment.
A content creator is not here to replace a photographer or videographer but to complement their work by capturing a different side of your day. While photographers and videographers focus on the big, beautiful moments and curated shots, a content creator captures the spontaneous, behind-the-scenes magic—the laughter while getting ready, the quiet moments before walking down the aisle, and the little interactions that often go unnoticed.
They tell the story of your wedding day in a personal, raw, and intimate way, preserving the details that make your celebration uniquely yours. Together, the photographer, videographer, and content creator ensure every angle of your special day is beautifully remembered.
And let's be real... your wedding day is going to fly by in a whirlwind of love, laughter, and happiness. You'll be so caught up in the moment, you might not even remember everything that happened. But with a content creator, you'll have a beautiful, lasting record of your special day that you can treasure for years to come. So, what do you say? Are you ready to make your wedding day unforgettable? Are you ready to capture the magic of your love story?
