In this episode, we sit down with Samantha Gentile, named one of the top wedding content creators in the world, to unpack what her role truly entails — and spoiler: it’s far more than just posting a few Instagram Stories. Samantha shares how she captures the raw, candid moments that traditional photographers often miss — the quiet in-betweens, the unfiltered laughs, and the fleeting emotions that make a wedding day unforgettable. We also touch on modern wedding etiquette and why guests might want to think twice before recording on their phones during the ceremony — because nothing says “forever” like an iPhone blocking the first kiss.
