Submit a Real Richmond Wedding

Thank you for choosing Richmond Weddings™ to feature your wedding or engagement session! (We are not accepting styled shoots at this time.) Submissions are open year-round for our magazines and blog. You do not need to be a member of Richmond Weddings™ to submit a wedding.

If you are submitting for a blog feature, please allow up to 21 business days for us to respond. For print, the response will be closer to publication date (May and November). If we accept your submission for the blog, it will be posted within 120 days.  We receive an abundant amount of submissions daily, so if you do not hear back from us, please feel free to submit elsewhere.

Below are some parameters that must be met for the wedding to be considered.

• It has not been featured or submitted to any other blogs, websites, or publications.
• Less than 6 months old from the date you submit.
• Took place in the Greater Richmond area.
• The couple and photographer must give permission.
• ALL vendors must be credited.
• The wedding was not a part of a previous photo bank (pertains to RW members only).
• Submitting a FULL gallery of images will disqualify the submission.

Please understand that not all submissions are chosen. Do not be discouraged – try submitting to other outlets!

What we LOVE!

• Weddings or engagement shoots that showcase RVA. Did your love story blossom in Richmond? We want to show off our beautiful city!
• Diversity!
• Details, details and more details. Especially photos of personal touches. Along with florals, invitation suites, reception tables, cakes, sweet moments, etc.
• Good mix of vertical and horizontal images

What we don’t love:

• Only bride & groom portraits
• Poor photography quality
• NO detail shots of florals, paper goods, unique favors, etc.
• Entire photo albums – narrow it down to 10-12 favorites. Full galleries will disqualify the submission.
