We need to talk about what’s happening on wedding days.
In this episode, I unpack the rising pressure to create and share content—immediately—and how it’s starting to chip away at the actual experience couples are meant to be having. From florists filming first looks, to planners posting private vows, to guests watching the day through their phones... content fatigue is real. And it’s not just affecting clients, it’s affecting us too.
This isn’t a takedown. It’s a call-in. A reminder of the line between documentation and exploitation—and how easy it is to cross when we’re chasing relevance over reverence.
I’m sharing:
Why sneak peeks aren’t always the service we think they are
How unplugged ceremonies may have accidentally created space for content creators
The emotional toll of being expected to post instantly
What we, as creatives, can do to protect the sanctity of the day
And five tangible ways to shift how we approach weddings moving forward
If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable with how performative weddings are becoming, or questioned your own role in the race to post—this one’s for you.
