The Social Socket Collective

I think we speak for a lot of creatives in the industry when I say we’re TIRED of seeing other people’s hard work being passed off as someone else’s. 👀

And no, we’re not talking about taking inspiration, following trends or creating something similar.

We’re talking about taking someone else’s EXACT content and presenting it as your own.

The footage they captured. The hours they spent editing. The creativity, time and effort that went into producing it.

The wedding industry is full of incredibly talented creatives who work SO hard to build their businesses, develop their skills and create content they’re proud of.

And quite frankly, it’s frustrating to see that hard work being taken without permission or credit.

It’s not just disrespectful to the original creator. It’s misleading to potential clients who believe they’re booking someone based on work that isn’t actually theirs.

There’s room for ALL of us in this industry. Support each other, share each other’s work (with permission!), give credit where it’s due and build a portfolio that genuinely represents YOUR talent.

Because if you didn’t create it, don’t claim it. It’s really that simple. 🙃

We’d genuinely love to hear from other creatives on this one...

Have you ever had your content taken and passed off as someone else’s? 🍿
