As Florida's largest local wedding publication, Marry Me Tampa Bay looks for exceptional content that is inspirational for couples and that showcases our vendor community.
To submit a wedding to Marry Me Tampa Bay, please make sure it has the following criteria:
Location
The wedding venue must be located in the Tampa Bay, Central Florida, or Sarasota areas. We are currently not accepting submissions of weddings held in Orlando.
Style and Quality
We're seeking submissions that demonstrate an outstanding level of creativity, design, and professionalism. A focus should be placed on inspirational details and decor, captured through high-quality, professional photography.
We do accept a limited number styled shoots, but do not accept engagement photos.
Timeliness
Our preference is to feature weddings that have taken place within the last 6-9 months.
Photo Submission Details
Submissions should include up to 200 non-watermarked photos, with each image having a minimum width of 2000 pixels. Our main focus is the details and decor, so include LOTS of those shots! These photos should cover various phases of the wedding day, such as:
- Getting ready
- First look
- Ceremony
- Portraits
- Reception
Your submission gallery should include 60% detail/decor photos, including wide shots of the ceremony and reception, with the remaining photos telling the story of the day and portraits.
Do NOT include individual portraits of the wedding party (though we do want group photos) or guests dancing at the reception.
Additional Items to Note:
Do NOT email your submission. If you are a couple looking to submit your wedding, please go through your wedding photographer or planner; we do not accept submissions from the couple.
We do not accept submissions via third-party submission sites.
We do interview the couple, so they must be open to speaking with us. Before you submit, please double-check with the couple that they want their wedding shared (not all couples do).
While we are non-exclusive, we do take into consideration how many times a wedding has been published prior to being featured on Marry Me Tampa Bay.
Currently, our response time is 6-8 weeks, and our publishing schedule is 4-6 months out. If you would like to check on the status of your submission, please contact us at features{at}marrymetampabay.com.
