Thank you so much for wanting to share your work with the Newfoundland Brides community, and I am so honoured to present it! I can’t tell you how much it is appreciated, not only by me, but the readership who will gain so much inspiration for their special day from the sharing of your talents!
Our goal is to feature real Newfoundland weddings, elopements, destination weddings of Newfoundland couples, styled shoots, engagement sessions, surprise proposals, bridal showers, trash the dress, and any and all other inspiring pieces of work for couples that are planning their wedding events. The event has preferably taken place in the past 18 months, although special exceptions will be considered.
Anything and everything Newfoundland wedding related is exciting to us! We wish to feature high quality photography in a wide range of styles, really depicting how diverse the offerings of the local wedding industry are. Beautiful weddings of all budgets, faiths, cultures, races, shapes, sizes and sexual orientation are not only welcome, but encouraged.
How To Submit:
We prefer to accept submissions only from professional photographers. If you’re a wedding professional, work with the photographer when sending a wedding or styled shoot for consideration. This will avoids duplicate submissions to us, and will avoid the scenario of automatically disqualifying the photographers images from being featured on other blogs that have an exclusive-only policy.
Newfoundland Brides Exclusivity Policy: We are NOT an exclusive publication. Unlike other blogs, we are happy to share previously published features. While we prefer to feature submissions that haven’t been featured on other wedding blogs, this isn’t a requirement. Our main goal is to get the work of Newfoundland wedding professionals in front of a local audience that might not otherwise see it.

- 50-150 images that telling the story of the wedding or
- 15-50 images from another shoot type that you would like to feature.

- Please only send single images; don’t submit collaged images
- Image files can be shared in whatever manner you’d like, with preference for DropBox link, Pixieset, PASS, or other similar gallery sites.

I will do my best to respond to submission emails as quickly as I can.
