Cover Image

REQUIRED. Select one image to be used as your cover image, which will appear on the category and location pages. Square images work best. Important: Until you add a cover image, your listing will not appear on category or location pages.

Highlighted Images

Please select up to three images to be highlighted in the header of your portfolio. Note that our templates are designed to be responsive, which means that these images will crop differently depending on the viewer's browser size and orientation -- on mobile, images map crop horizontally. On huge desktops, they may crop vertically. That's as intended, although it may result in some headless couples depending on your photo composition.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.

Shall I just list the ways I think you'll love me? Is that narcissistic of me? That's fine, it's the easiest way to show you I'm ready to be your photographer.

</ul>
And on a real note, I was an Offbeat Bride myself. I couldn't find anything on Pinterest that made me feel seen and nothing felt authentic in the wedding world. I had to remind myself that I am an artist and can create a dream wedding without the trends of the day impacting my planning process. And so I did! It was the most rewarding thing, and all of our vendors were just amazing additions to the day and reflected our vibe and energy perfectly, making it a perfect day.
