Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Ashley Foster & Karina Kemp. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Ashley & Karina, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s jump right into how you came up with the idea?

Coming up with HoneyDo Socials was actually surprisingly unexpected! We have been friends for over five years now, and through our friendship, we discovered a shared love for the wedding industry. It was during our own wedding journeys—Karina’s in March 2022 and Ashley in June 2023—that everything truly fell into place.

After our weddings, we both had a similar feeling: we were missing those raw, authentic moments we’d hoped to relive. Sure, guests took some videos and photos, but the quality was often hit or miss. Plus, chasing down all those snippets became a bit of a hassle while we waited for our professional photos and videos to be ready. It was in those moments of frustration that we both realized something—we wanted more.

One evening, after one of our long phone calls (which often turned into marathon sessions), we started brainstorming about how we could solve this problem. With our backgrounds in social media and a passion for photography and video editing, the idea for HoneyDo Socials began to take shape: a service that would capture the genuine, unscripted moments we wished we had more of, and also provide businesses with engaging social media content.

Our conversations were filled with excitement and endless ideas. We’d talk for hours, sharing our vision and planning out every detail. It was during these late-night chats that our dream began to solidify. We imagined a business that would fill the gaps we had experienced, offering high-quality, authentic content for weddings, events, and businesses all captured with our iPhones.

Starting HoneyDo Socials was both thrilling and a bit daunting. We poured our hearts into researching the industry and crafting a service that felt true to our vision. Our combined experience in social media marketing, videography, and photography gave us the confidence to go for it. The positive feedback we received along the way reassured us that we were onto something special.

Now, HoneyDo Socials is a reflection of our journey and our shared passion. We’re incredibly proud to offer a service that captures those real, heartfelt moments and provides clients with memorable content. Each project we take on is a reminder of why we started this venture—to create something meaningful and personal for everyone we work with.

Ashley & Karina, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

We’re HoneyDo Socials, founded by two friends who bonded over their shared love for weddings and social media marketing. Our journey started five years ago, and after working together in our day jobs and experiencing the post-wedding blues, we realized we wanted to offer something unique. In 2023, we launched HoneyDo Socials to provide fast, high-quality content for weddings and events.

Our services focus on capturing behind-the-scenes moments and real-time highlights that might be missed by traditional photographers and videographers. We don’t replace these professionals but offer an additional way to document your event by capturing with our iPhones. These raw, authentic moments give a genuine glimpse into the event, bringing its true essence to life. We excel in creating both engaging and memorable content and delivering it promptly.

HoneyDo Socials is more than just a service; it’s a passion project that merges our love for weddings with our expertise in social media. We’re excited to bring your special moments to life and help you make an impact with captivating content.

Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?

We met through a mutual friend five years ago and instantly connected because of our similar interests and personalities! A few years later, when Karina was planning her wedding, she asked Ashley to be a bridesmaid, which really deepened our friendship. After the wedding, we ended up working together at our day jobs, where we bonded even more over our shared passion for wedding planning, photography, videography, and social media. In 2023, we knew we wanted to start a business together. That November, HoneyDo Socials was officially born!

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

As past brides and professionals in social media marketing, we realized we were onto something when we both experienced wanting to relive our day in a more raw form soon after the wedding. Waiting months for professional photos and videos made it tough to relive those special moments right away due to their editing process. We both wished we could have revisited our big days much sooner, especially since we loved planning our weddings! In the social media marketing world, we also noticed a gap where businesses and events struggled with creating high-quality original content. This inspired us to offer a service that brings fast, quality content to both the wedding and business worlds!
