Today we’d like to introduce you to Sneha Patel
Hi Sneha, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started a page called The Spotlight Edit, an event and wedding content creation page. I have experience in event and wedding planning and have always thrived in the content creation aspect of it. So, I thought this would be a great business to start.
I capture memories for people and turn them into fun, trendy videos that they can easily share on social media with their friends and family. As a bride in 2022, I remember wishing I could hand off all my pictures and videos to someone who could transform them into shareable content. I received my professional wedding photos and videos months after the celebration and spent a lot of time going through them. That’s when I realized this might be something others would want for their weddings or any other special event—just like I had wished for.
I work full-time for a software company, and The Spotlight Edit is my creative outlet, which I enjoy working on in my free time.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I’m just starting this journey of creating content and turning it into a public page, so I haven’t encountered too many obstacles or challenges yet. However, the biggest challenge I faced was simply getting started. I knew I wanted to channel my creative ideas into something bigger. Friends and family would often tell me that I’m good at taking pictures, turning them into engaging story features, and creating quick reel videos that capture memories to look back on again and again.
I kept overthinking whether or not to start this page. I wondered if it was something people would actually enjoy. In the end, I set those doubts aside and took the leap. I was excited to embark on this adventure because I knew it was something I truly enjoyed.
Another small challenge has been figuring out how to bring my ideas to life as content. Since this is a new space for me, I’m constantly jotting down ideas and saving music I might use in future videos. I understand that the start of any new endeavor tends to be slow, so I don’t expect this to take off immediately. I’m grateful for any opportunity to create content for others.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am content creator for events and weddings. I turn memories into easy to share videos or content for family and friends. I specialize in mainly wedding content creation. I am known for creating fun and trendy reels on Instagram. I am proud of being able to capture memories for people in aesthetically pleasing views and turn them into something people can look back at for days. Some people have a special eye for capturing memories and displaying them in a way that sets them apart from how a regular guest or person would, I believe I have that special talent. My last event, a wedding, I created many reels for the bride and groom. They loved the content I created for them and truly appreciated the fact that I leaned into the details they really wanted captured.
Here is the review from the couple:
“Hey Sneha!
You know, it feels like life has come full circle – from Dipen emceeing your wedding to you capturing our wedding weekend. Sidhhi, being a content creator herself, we collectively started with cautious optimism about who would capture our special moments. But you showed us exactly why you’re pioneering this space – your unique vision and attention to detail were extraordinary.
From our first meeting, you showed us why you’re so excellent at your work. You took the time to learn about our family members and closest friends, jotting down notes about what matters most to us – that meant the world. Those details appeared beautifully in the reels you created, making them more meaningful.
Sidhhi and I were blown away by all the creative ideas you shared during our planning meeting, but what impressed us, even more, was how you brought each one to life right on time every single time. You have this incredible gift for capturing and weaving moments into a magical story.
Looking back at everything now, we realize that what makes you truly special isn’t just your talent behind the camera – it’s your ability to understand what makes each moment precious and turn it into an experience we can relive again and again.
Thank you for being such an essential part of our celebration. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to share our weekend highlights!
With gratitude,
Sidhhi and Dipen”
Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
I was always joining organizations and getting people involved. I was part of boards that put on large events, bringing the community together. I was a pretty outgoing person growing up. I loved finding ways to connect people. I have always been found scrolling on my phone or taking a quick snap for the mems! I was part of the yearbook team in middle school and high school, I loved being behind scenes getting all the details and putting it all together into a book, highlighting the year.
