Instagram Reels and Vertical Video Prompts for Wedding Professionals

It has become impossible to ignore the continued growth of vertical video content as a wedding professional.

From couples hiring wedding content creators to capture footage, to wedding professionals gaining online growth from TikToks and Reels, it is clear that the future is vertical and video! What does this mean for wedding professionals?

Incorporating vertical video into your marketing strategy is something every wedding professional should do. Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube and more are all catering to short-form, vertical video format. While editorial, professional images still show off your services, you can capture all audiences by changing up your content style.

Video content can include on-site footage, which means photos captured during the wedding, or during the creation process of your service. For example, a video decorating a cake. Additionally video content can include conversational footage. Such as answering questions, lip-synching a trending audio or sharing a tip. This blog post is going to focus on offering you prompts for conversational video tips.

Not sure what to talk about when creating vertical videos such as YouTube Shorts, Intsagram Reels, Instagram Stories or Pinterest Idea Pins for your wedding business? Read the below list of 15 prompts!
