My Go-To Wedding Content Creation Gear for Wedding Days
Okay, let’s get into the fun part—the wedding content creation gear that I swear by for creating content at weddings!
1. Gimbal
If there’s one tool that has truly changed the game for me, it’s my gimbal. This little gadget is an absolute lifesaver. It’s pocket-sized, super easy to use, and gives my videos a smooth, professional feel. Whether I’m capturing the set-up process or transformations of a venue or filming the details of a tablescape, a gimbal ensures my videos are steady with a cinematic vibe. A gimbal is an essential part of any wedding content creation gear set.

2. Power Bank
There’s nothing worse than running out of battery for your phone or camera in the middle of a wedding. That’s why I always carry a power bank with me with a variety of charging leads (someone will always want to borrow your charger!). My go-to is the Magsafe power bank—it uses the magnet on your iPhone to charge your phone wireless. With a power bank in my bag, I can keep my phone, camera, or whatever else I’m using charged all day long, so I never miss a moment. Power banks are a crucial part of my kit bag as a wedding content creator, so check out my two favourite options.

3. Tripods
I love capturing time lapse videos of venue set-ups and transformations. To capture these videos a tripod will be your best friend. The Joby Gorilla Tripod is my favourite because it’s compact, lightweight, and fits right in my wedding day kit bag easily. Any tripod can sit in the corner of the venue or on a table and capture steady videos of the whole space and time-lapse videos for hours as you get to work preparing for your wedding. If there’s one thing I always recommend to take with you on a wedding day it’s a tripod!

For those all-important detail shots, I love using the Canon EOS R50. It’s small and light enough to carry around all day with me, but has the ability to capture stunning detail images.
