Editorial Standards

What makes a great submission?

Curated Images.

Select 20–50 of your top images with a focus on details, special moments, and storytelling. We look for images that capture the full day — from getting ready through the celebration.

Tell the Story.

Your photos show what happened — the story tells us why it mattered. A few paragraphs about the vision, favourite moments, and any meaningful touches help make the submission feel personal and relatable.

Credit Your Vendors.

Give credit where it’s due. Sharing vendor credits is a great way to celebrate the team behind the day. Include the photographer, venue, planner, and anyone else who made the magic happen.

Questions

Common questions.

Will I hear back about my submission?

Yes! You’ll hear back within 2–7 business days, whether your submission is accepted or not. Due to the volume of submissions we receive, we’re unable to feature every wedding, but we appreciate you sharing your day with us. If you haven’t heard back within 2 weeks, please follow up to ensure we received your submission.

How long does the review process take?

We typically review submissions within 2–7 business days. We receive hundreds of submissions every week, so we appreciate your patience!

Do you require exclusivity?

No. You’re free to share your wedding on other platforms. We just ask that submissions meet our editorial standards.

Can I publish images on my own blog and social media?

Absolutely! Share away.

Whose permission do I need before submitting?

You need permission from both the photographer and the people shown in pictures, as well as any other copyright holders. Please ensure all parties have agreed before submitting.

Do you feature previously published work?

We prefer exclusive content, but we’ll definitely consider previously published weddings!

When should I submit?

There’s no time limit — whether you got married yesterday or three years ago, we’d love to see it. Just make sure your wedding has already taken place and you have the final photos.

Who can submit?

Couples, photographers, planners — anyone involved in the wedding may submit, as long as they have permission from both the couple and the photographer.
