You're a photographer, not an influencer.
Right now most of it is rotting on a hard drive. Send us the gallery links, one shoot or five, and we turn them into a month of Instagram: five posts a week, Reels included, captions that sound like you, scheduled for you.
You approve. That's the whole job.

You didn't become a photographer to be a social media manager. Every week you hand a couple a gallery that makes them cry. And your own feed? Last post was the sneak peek from three weddings ago.
It isn't laziness. It's that Instagram now wants a videographer, a copywriter and a strategist, on top of the 40 hours you already put into every wedding. Feed posts die in three hours. Reels live for weeks. Captions take 30 minutes and are forgotten in two. So the feed goes quiet in peak season, right when next year's couples are scrolling to see if you're still shooting.
Hi, I'm Sarah. I've shot weddings for over ten years and I run a small content agency on the side. For years I had the same problem you do: a hard drive full of gorgeous work and a feed I was embarrassed to send people to.
I tried schedulers. I tried Canva. I tried chatbot captions. All of them still needed me to sit down and do the thing, and in October the thing never got done.
So I built a machine that does it, and I run it for a small group of photographers. It picks the post-worthy shots (not just the best shots), cuts your behind-the-scenes clips into Reels, writes captions trained on how you actually talk, and schedules the month. I check it. You approve it.
Send one shoot or five. Carousels and singles, chosen for feed story and variety, not a dump of your favorites. Five shoots in, one cohesive feed out.
Edits of your wedding-day BTS footage, or photo montages when you didn't film. Set to trending sounds, with scroll-stopping text hooks on screen.
Trained on your past captions and your website. Nothing sounds like a robot or a stranger.
A posting calendar you can see, with a grid preview before anything goes live. Every month is checked by a human before it reaches you, and nothing posts until you approve it.
When your queue drops to 5 posts, we email you: send more photos and video, or tell us to keep going from what you've already sent.
Once: 20 minutes · every month after: a few links
Share your website and Instagram, answer ten questions about your brand, and point us at a signature gallery of your proudest work. Connect Instagram once, through Facebook Login. We never see your password.
One wedding or five. Pixieset, CloudSpot, ShootProof, Pic-Time, Dropbox, Drive, whatever you use. Drop any wedding-day phone clips in your folder. That's the whole ask.
Open your studio, see the feed laid out on the calendar, already checked by a human. Approve it, swap a shot, skip a post, fix a word. Done. When the queue runs down to 5 posts, we email you for the next galleries, or build on from what you've already sent.
This isn't a VA with a Canva account. It's a system I built for my own business and now run for yours. Your gallery loads in. The machine develops the posts, cuts the Reels, writes the captions in your voice, and puts the month on the line. Then a human (me) checks every post, caption and Reel in the tray before you ever see it. You approve. The month ejects to your Instagram. Five shoots in. One cohesive feed out.
Your logins stay yours. Client-private sessions stay out. Password-protected galleries need the password off, or send a Drive link instead.

Feed posts die in three hours. Reels live for weeks. Every photographer knows it and nobody has time to edit them. Two a week, every week: edits of your wedding-day BTS footage or photo montages from the gallery, set to trending sounds, with scroll-stopping text hooks on screen.
"Golden hour on the bluff and nobody wanted to leave, least of all me. A little sneak from Erin + Ben's evening (the full gallery is a lot, in the best way). ▸ swipe"
Booked out and always posting. At the kid's game and still consistent. Next year's couples think you hired a team. You sent some links.
A $49 app never looks at your galleries. A $400 social media manager doesn't understand photography. The middle, done by a photographer, is the part nobody fills.

A photographer-focused social media manager charges $300 to $500 for 12 posts and 4 Reels. This is 12 posts and up to 8 Reels from your actual work, for about the cost of one second-shooter hour.

Yes. Captions are trained on your own past posts and your website, not a generic template. You can edit any caption before it goes live, and the machine learns from the edits.
Every post is your real photo from your real wedding. The system picks and arranges, writes a first draft in your voice, and a human (Sarah) checks the month before you see it. Nothing is generated from nothing.
Skip it, swap the photo, or rewrite the caption in your studio. Nothing posts without your approval. Each month includes two full revision rounds on top of unlimited swaps and caption edits.
No. Reels are edits of your wedding-day behind-the-scenes clips, or photo montages from the gallery when you have no clips, set to trending sounds with a text hook on screen. No talking heads, no dancing.
Yes. Photo-montage Reels are built from the gallery itself, cut to the beat. Wedding clips make them better, but they're not required.
When your queue drops to 5 posts we email you. Send new galleries, or tell us to keep going and we build the next batch from everything you've already sent, including your signature gallery. The feed never goes dark in January.
Instagram first. Facebook comes free: turn on Instagram's own share-to-Facebook in your settings (we show you where in setup) and every post and Reel lands on your Page too. Pinterest and blog posts from your galleries are on the list; founding members vote on what's next.
Gallery links, one shoot or several (Pixieset, CloudSpot, ShootProof, Pic-Time, Dropbox or Google Drive) and, if you have them, phone clips from the wedding day. Password-protected galleries need the password off, or send a Drive link instead.
Yes. Your studio has a Run it yourself card: load a gallery and develop a month on your own. You get 2 DIY bonus runs a month on top of the 3 included (first build plus 2 revision rounds); after that each run is $25, and the studio tells you the cost before every run. Most members never touch it. They reply to an email with a link and we build it.
You connect your Instagram once, through Facebook Login, the same way any approved Instagram tool connects. We never see your password. You'll need a professional (business or creator) Instagram account, which is a free switch in the app, and if the connection fights you, Sarah does it with you on a ten-minute screen share.
A photographer-focused social media manager charges $300 to $500 a month for 12 posts and 4 Reels. A $49 posting app never looks at your galleries. $149 gets you 12 posts and up to 8 Reels from your actual work, for about the cost of one second-shooter hour.
Any time, from your studio (Account → Billing & plan → Cancel subscription) or by emailing support@feedthecontentmachine.com. No contract. Cancelling stops future charges; you keep access through the period you already paid for.
