What We Do
Hi, I’m Vanessa and I offer Same Day Wedding Content from a glorified “guest perspective”. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣? It means you get to relive your entire wedding day the NEXT MORNING - no wait times!
From key wedding moments to behind the scenes and candid shots, my mission is to capture a more “real” experience of your special day that you receive instantly on your phone. No need to rely on friends and family to send you photos/videos, that’s my job! You make the memories and I’ll record the ones you didn’t even know you wanted ♡
Vanessa | Wedding Content Creator
aka your personal paparazzi for your special day
What started out as a hobby 2 years ago quickly became my unexpected dream job! More and more people began connecting with my content and I now have a community of over 90K followers across Instagram and TikTok.
Dear Diary Social is a new and exciting expansion of my original platform TOfooddiary where I capture unique food and vacation stays across Ontario. So how did I get into the Wedding Industry? A simple Instagram DM. This lovely bride-to-be had an "interesting proposal" for me that has now unlocked a passion I didn't even know I had in me.
Something I love about this work - I'm not just filming your big day, I'm PART OF your big day...Nothing beats that feeling
well, that's my story...xoxo

1. What is a DAY OF Wedding Content Creator & why should I hire one?
Think of me as your BFF and hypewoman except my whole focus is on YOU & YOUR wedding content goals! Weeks before your big day we will develop your custom Shot List - anything from “Vanessa, I want my entire first dance filmed” to “get pictures of the seating chart before guests arrive” - we go into DETAIL!! It gets even more fun with the TikTok Creations! If you have specific trends you would like me to recreate, I’ll do that! If you don’t know what you want, I am your social media pro and will suggest “in trend” ideas for us to create. The day of your wedding, it’s my job to time manage and get you your clips so you can relive your special day as newlyweds from the comfort of your pillow! This is the service you didn't know you wanted until you have all these memories on your phone instantly and feel a sense of “relief” knowing you don't need to chase your friends/family/photographers for photos and videos
2. Are the photos/videos THAt are sent to my phone the
night of my wedding edited?
No, due to the “instant” nature of this service the photos and videos are unedited. You are free to do whatever you like with them! Should you choose a package with TikTok/Reel style videos, the clips within the video will be edited into something even more beautiful!
3. Do you shoot everything on your phone?
Yes! All photos and videos are taken on my iPhone 14 Pro & 12 Pro (yes I have 2 phones). I will send you all the footage to your phone through a shared file. No need to hand over your phone, I got you :)
4. I’m not interested in TikTok videos or IG Reels…What Now?
No worries!! My Wedding Primary Package gives you all that “in-the-moment” content for reminiscing :) Something to keep in mind - TikTok style videos aren’t only voice syncs and dancing…I edit and create any 30 second or less video of your choosing (including but definitely not limited to Wedding Recap videos) that you’ll receive 48 hours from your wedding night! We can talk through what best suits you and your partner ♡
5. How do professional photographers & videographers feel about this unique new service?
Depends on the company! Please let your photographer/videographer know that you are planning to have a behind the scenes “Content Creator” present at your wedding prior to booking my services
6. Do you require a security deposit to book?
8. Do you travel?
YES! Get me on a plane ASAP :) I am based in Toronto but will travel anywhere to capture your dream day. Please DM or email me to chat about this further
9. How do Instagram Takeovers work?
So you have all these photos/videos on your phone and now you want to post it, but it’s your honeymoon and/or you just want to relax…That’s where I come in and sort through/post IG Stories to your platform + create a highlight! Access to your IG account is required for this service and we will discuss prior to your wedding what you would like/not like posted to your followers. The best part about this is YOU get to watch your story back as well as I’m posting - a mini movie of your day! This is especially cool if you opt for LIVE Stories - enjoy the moment and rewatch along with your guests instantly :)
10. Do you only do weddings?
Although it may seem like it, no! I can film any event you wish, send me a DM or email and we can discuss more about your occasion
