You now don’t need to wait for the camera crew to give you your wedding photos to update your social media followers of your marriage. It can be done in real time. How? Wedding social media services ensure your special moments are captured and shared in real time.
“While everyone eventually shares photos and videos from their wedding after receiving them from the photography team, a wedding social media team goes a step further, creating a dedicated page for the couple and posting real-time photos and videos of the big day,” says Marion Mendes, a wedding social media manager.
Growing up in Kuwait, Mendes always had a deep love for stories and romance and when she moved to Goa she turned that passion into a career. Along with her partner, a photographer, she runs Pink & Gold, capturing people at their happiest.
“Every wedding is unique because each couple and their families have their own distinct stories. My team and I ensure we understand every aspect of the couple’s vision, the emotions they want to convey and shoot, edit and post reels and photos accordingly,” Mendes says.
Unlike wedding photographers, a wedding social media manger focuses on capturing the small, intimate moments, documenting the entire wedding, to ensure that even those who couldn’t attend can still experience and enjoy the celebration.
Speaking about this trend, driven by the need to share moments in real-time, she informs, “With the rise of influencers and the ‘if you don’t post about it, did it really happen?’ mind-set, along with the demand for instant photos and videos, more people are opting for wedding social media services.”
And in Goa, Mendes finds a wealth of opportunities. “Goa has always been a hotspot destination, with its booming food, beverage and wedding industry, all need social media to thrive,” she says, adding that it’s a well rewarding profession.
With everyone having requirements of their own, the cost depends on the specifications. “Pricing thus depends on a number of factors, like the number of reels, ceremonies, days and the number of people,” Mendes says.
Apart from the alluring landscapes that pose as perfect backdrops for a destination wedding, there’s now more reason to take your vows along the shores of Goa. You get to walk down the aisle and become the talk of the town as your social media team stirs up content while you're at it.
