We love VA weddings! What does that mean? Be sure that your submission meets the criteria below:

• The event must have taken place in VA. Some exceptions are made for DC.
• We also feature destination engagements, weddings, and honeymoon sessions of Virginia couples who travel.

For Virginia Photographers

Do you have a wedding, engagement, or another type of wedding-related session that is themed, unique, or just one of your favorites? We have a few guidelines for you to consider before submitting your work.

• Please submit 60-100 photographs for weddings or 30-40 photographs of other wedding-related sessions.
• Email jennifer@hillcitybride.com with “submissions” in the subject line. Include the name of your company, your name, the location, and date of the wedding, and the names of the couple featured.
• We also accept photos via Dropbox. This is our FAVORITE way to receive submissions. If you do not have an account, click HERE. The email to send them to is jennifer@hillcitybride.com. Please name your file including the name of your photography business so that we can distinguish between submissions.
• Send your photographs in JPEG format.
• Resize to 1250 wide.
• No photo collages.
• No watermarks.
• Include your business web address.
• We love detail shots.
• Please include any information you have about the wedding (name of bride and groom, location … etc.). If your photos feature the work of other vendors, you must include the web addresses of the vendors.
• If you featured the wedding on your own blog, please include a link to the blog post.
• Submitting your event to Hill City Bride will also throw it into the pool of weddings and events that we will consider for our next wedding magazine issue.
