How to be featured on a wedding blog
This page brings together my featured weddings alongside practical advice for couples and photographers. If you’re a couple who’s fallen in love with your photos and would love to share them on a blog then this is for you! Or maybe you’re a photographer hoping to showcase your work and looking for some essential tips. I’m so lucky that I get to work with the nicest couples and shoot the loveliest weddings. As a wedding photographer with over ten years’ experience capturing weddings across Devon, I’ve been fortunate to have many of my weddings featured on popular wedding blogs, showcasing not just my work but the incredible couples and locations I get to photograph.
Wedding blogs I’ve been featured on
There are tens of thousands of photographers out there so there is a lot of competition to be chosen. Each time one of my weddings is published I do a little happy dance! It’s always interesting to see my wedding photographs curated by one of the industry experts and seeing which images they choose. Seeing my work on a wedding blog or even in print is always exciting. If you’re planning a wedding you’ve probably already browsed some of the more popular wedding blogs. Wedding bloggers love to tell the couple’s story in their own words alongside some gorgeous couple portraits. They also like to feature beautifully photographed details of the day from the dress to the table décor to inspire new couples in their wedding planning. From festival yurt camp weddings to glamorous manor house weddings, click on the badges for inspiration and advice featuring my amazing couples!
5 top tips to get featured on a wedding blog
If you’re a newlywed couple who’d love to show off your photos or perhaps even a wedding photographer yourself, check out my 5 tips for submitting to wedding blogs:
- Do your research. Browse some of the popular blogs online and get a feel for their style. Do they love detail photos or are they more about the personal story? Some of the blogs require exclusivity so once you submit a wedding to them it’s best not to submit it elsewhere until you’ve heard back from them. Experience has taught me to be patient as this can take several weeks.
- Choose a blog that suits your wedding theme. For example, if you’ve had a festival wedding in a tipi, it’s no good sending your wedding in to a blogger who features luxe, glamorous weddings. Take the time to find out the name of the blogger and address them personally. Let them know what you like about their blog and why you’ve chosen them to offer your wedding to.
- Read the submission guidelines carefully. They receive thousands of weddings every year so following their instructions makes life easier for them. What file size do they need the images to be? Do they prefer Dropbox or WeTransfer? Do they prefer colour or a mix of colour and black and white (most prefer colour to show off all the lovely details).
- Don’t overlook smaller or emerging blogs. If you search for ‘Top 50 wedding blogs’ of the year you’ll find some new and up-and-coming bloggers who would might really appreciate new content for their blog.
- Consider local bridal magazines who often have an online version of their magazine too. They love to show off the locations and venues in their area by featuring real weddings.
