Unlike traditional photographers, wedding content creators specialise in capturing those candid, behindthe-scenes moments that truly reflect the magic of your special day. They allow your guests to put their phones down and be 100 per cent present without compromising on footage from their individual point of view. Another benefit? You don’t have to choose between chasing down your bridal party to sift through the blurry pics on their camera roll or waiting four to six weeks for the edited photos to land in your inbox. You’ll simply wake up the next day to a beautiful selection of memories in a highlight reel format, ready to relive and share with the world. Sounds great, but don’t know where to start? This is where Sorella Social comes in; a new digital marketing and wedding day content creation service founded by sisters Victoria Griffiths and Alex Cornwell. “With over eight years of experience in marketing, we understand the struggle of waiting for content all too well and are here to eradicate that stress for your wedding,” says Victoria.
