- **What is a wedding content creator, and do we need one?** A person who
  covers the day on a phone and delivers vertical, ready-to-post clips within
  48 hours. Not a videographer: no microphone on the officiant, so no clean
  recording of the vows. Ours run $1,200 to $1,900.

- **What does "cinematic wedding video" mean?** Almost nothing on its own,
  since every studio uses the word. The question that changes what you get is
  whether the film carries dialogue or is cut to music only, so you either
  hear your vows or you do not.

- **How long do wedding studios keep photos and video online?** There is no
  industry standard; galleries commonly come down after a set window, and raw
  footage is usually kept for far less time than the finished gallery. Couples
  should download and back up their own copies either way.
