Ep 23 • The Rise of the Wedding Content Creator with Lauren Ashley

There’s a new vendor shaking up the wedding world—and it’s not your planner, florist, or DJ. In this episode, Alexandra and Alison sit down with Lauren Ashley, founder of In the Moment Content Creators, to talk about the fast-growing role of wedding content creators. From raw, behind-the-scenes clips to TikTok-ready reels, Lauren shares how this new vendor category is changing the way couples, planners, and vendors experience wedding days.
