S01. EP22. Shanaya Arora - Weddings aren't content

For this episode of Beyond the Awards, we're joined by Indian photographer and podcaster Shanaya Arora for a conversation about something that's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: when did weddings become content?Shanaya shares her thoughts on the growing influence of Instagram and social media, couples chasing viral moments, and the danger of being so focused on creating the perfect wedding that we forget to actually experience it.We talk about why the most meaningful moments are often the ones that aren't planned, and why authenticity matters more than ever in wedding filmmaking.And, of course, we get into AI, and what happens when we can no longer tell the difference between what was captured and what was created.A different kind of Beyond the Awards conversation, but one that asks a pretty important question: are we documenting weddings, or are we creating content?The British Wedding Film Festivalhttps://www.britishweddingfilmfestival.comShanaya Arorahttps://www.instagram.com/shanayaaroraaJoce (Lune de Miel Studio)https://www.lunedemielstudio.comJeff (Jeff Wood Visuals)https://www.jeffwoodvisuals.comVidflowhttps://vidflow.co/britishweddingfilmfestivalDeliver a premium viewing experience that looks professional and easily accessible on all client devices.
