What are common mistakes people make when submitting a wedding for publication?
It’ s important to take some time to understand the difference between editorial needs vs. client needs. Typically a blog entry or a slideshow teaser is not a sufficient range of images. Most magazines are selecting the Real Weddings because of the overall style. So that means we should be seeing more detail and décor shots than of people (though we ll still want to see a couple of them too!). Also familiarize yourself with the publication s brand and if the tone of the wedding fits in with the company ‘s voice. There are several factors that go into the final selections, so make sure you provide access to all the requested information with your submission. We’ re always on tight deadlines and the slightest detail, such as not knowing the venue location can result in a missed opportunity.
