Real Moment + Editorial Submissions

Beautiful celebrations make us giddy! We are always on the hunt for detail-rich, previously unpublished local weddings to share with our readers, and would love to consider one you’ve been a part of or your own wedding.  We also look for unique editorial content for publication, website and social media.

Here’s what you need to know: 

SUBMISSION EXCLUSIVITY

To ensure that we are serving our readers well by bringing them fresh material, we prefer to publish weddings and wedding-related events and content that have not been published elsewhere. If an event has been published, but there are lots of shots that never were published, we’d be happy to review.

BEFORE SUBMITTING:

  • If someone other than the photographer is submitting the wedding, please confirm that the photographer is aware of the submission and they will be asked to authorize Saint Louis Bride to use the photographs in both print + social media.

Please confirm the couple is aware:

  • their wedding is being submitted to Saint Louis Bride for review.
  • they will be asked to answer additional questions if their event is selected.
  • we are unable to release photo layouts or copy prior to publication.

Please confirm the submitted wedding:

  • has not been submitted to or featured in another print publication editorially or in an advertisement.
  • has not been submitted/published on a commercial blog.
