Vendor submission guidelines
- You can submit one wedding per month. This helps us give each vendor feature the spotlight it deserves, and keeps the review process manageable for everyone.
- Diversity is our highest editorial priority. Since most of our reader submissions are young white straight couples, and mainstream wedding media SUCKS at diversity, we strongly favor vendor submissions featuring diversity in ethnicity, culture, LGBTQ, the gender spectrum, older couples, body size and ability, neurodiversity, etc. We recognize that prioritizing diversity can be a sensitive subject, but we need your help to make sure we're representing people from ALL walks of life on Offbeat Wed.
- Confirm your clients are ok with you submitting their wedding. Although own the photo rights and legally be allowed to submit your work where-ever you like, we do ask that you ensure your clients actually want to be featured before you submit. It's super awkward when we get emails from privacy-minded couples asking us to take their vendor-submitted wedding down. We always comply.
- Photo requirements:
- LIMIT 50 PHOTOS! We know you took 500+ gorgeous photos for your clients, but we only want to see highlights.
- Minimal watermarking. We're obsessive about attribution. We credit and link photographers at the top and bottom of our posts. Please don't over-watermark your images.
- 1200 pixels wide. No need for print resolution here! A web-friendly size is good.
- By submitting a post, you’re agreeing to our Terms of Use including our policies regarding copyright and user content. We do not feature work submitted to other wedding publications and request three months of exclusivity after it is published. You are free to showcase your work on your own blog and social media, however.
- Our publication queue can be a few months long, so thank you for your patience!
