How to Submit Your Wedding Photography to Inspiration Blogs or Wedding Magazines

Curate Your Images

The rule of thumb for most magazines or blogs is to select 25-50 of the best images from your top 100 images that you submit. That means that your images should be publication-worthy and you want to include only your best selections in the submission.  Each image should be something that would be worthy of being published by itself.

Read the Guidelines

This will help you know what each blog or magazine may be looking for. It will usually give you guidance on when to expect a reply, what format they want the images in and how long of a description they may need. Make sure to stick as close as you can to the guidelines.

Credit All the Vendors

Giving credit to those who deserve it is not only fair but necessary if you want to keep those relationships strong.  They will appreciate your shout out and will be more likely to work with you in the future.  Remember that it’s a small industry and your next business referral can easily come from a vendor you’ve worked with previously.

Plan Seasonal Shoots and Events in Advance

Photoshoots and seasonal events don’t come together overnight.   Most blogs and magazines would like to feature seasonal content at the beginning of the season while you may still be planning your event.  Being ready to have your inspiration shoot or seasonal event early lets you submit your photos ahead of most other photographers and gives you a better chance to be featured in the publication!

Include Plenty of Detail Shots

The details of the event are going to make or break the submission.  There’s only so many ways you can photograph the subject and folks looking for inspiration may not be inspired so much by the human subject as the setting and decor.  Get plenty of good shots of the setup and describe the details in your writeup!
