Your Side Chick

Think of me as your professional third wheel, your personal paparazzi, and your ultimate hype girl all rolled into one. I’m not here to replace your photographer or videographer, I’m here to enhance your day and capture it through a different lens. The raw, real, champagne-fuelled, slightly chaotic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

From morning mimosas and nervous giggles with your bridal party, to the “oh my god” reaction when you see each other for the first time, the happy tears, the dance-floor chaos and every candid moment in between, I’m there, phone in hand, chasing the magic as it unfolds.

As your wedding content creator, I blend into the background (and occasionally hype from the sidelines) to document your day in real time, creating short-form video content and behind-the-scenes snippets perfect for Instagram, TikTok and beyond. The best part? You’ll get all your edited content delivered straight to your phone within 24 to 48 hours, so you can relive the day (and start posting) before the confetti’s even swept up.

Based in Sydney and travelling anywhere for love, I’m proudly LGBTQI+ friendly and here for every kind of love story. So if you’re ready for the champagne-soaked, unfiltered version of your day to live on your camera roll forever, I’m your girl!

Hey lovers, I’m Carena! Wife, Dog mum, disco-ball enthusiast, professional people-person and the proud face behind Your Side Chick. I’ve always been obsessed with human connection and the magic that happens when people come together to celebrate love. I’m the girl who will cry happy tears at your vows even if we’ve only known each other a few weeks, and the one hyping you up before you walk down the aisle like we’ve been besties for years.

Before YSC, I spent years working with people from all walks of life, building a career around supporting, celebrating and championing others and now, I get to channel all that passion into documenting love stories in the most authentic way possible.

I’m a big believer that love is love, and that every couple deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and completely themselves on their wedding day. I bring heart, humour and a whole lot of energy to everything I do and by the end of your wedding, chances are I’ll feel more like a friend than a vendor.

So if you’re after someone who’s deeply passionate about people, who’s in your corner from “I will” to “I do,” and who’ll be laughing (and probably crying) right alongside you, that’s me!
