We\u2019re working to represent everyone on Barefoot Bride NJ. We want to see and feature weddings with Black brides or grooms, Asian weddings, minority ethnic weddings, LGBTQI weddings, elopements and alternative celebrations. Please help by submitting all the wonderfully diverse weddings under the rainbow \u2013 we\u2019d love to share them! Non members are invited to send in weddings which support our diversity pledge.<\/p>\n
The weddings and styled shoots we feature are beautifully photographed, creative and inspiring. I do adore details: the fold of a silk ribbon, calligraphy close ups, or a stunning statement bouquet. But I fall head over heels for romance too: a glance, a forehead kiss, magical light\u2026 I also want to see couples with their guests \u2013 hugs, group hugs, laughter and those human connections we\u2019ve learned to treasure so very much. These are the things I love to share on the Barefoot Bride NJ Blog.<\/p>\n
Photographers, please ask your couple for permission to publish their wedding on the Barefoot Bride NJ Blog before you submit images. Then email me submit@barefootbridenj.net with:<\/p>\n
An introduction to your wedding. What makes it wonderful and inspiring? Tell us a little about the venue too, and any other suppliers involved in the day.<\/p>\n
A link to a Dropbox folder containing 60ish of your most beautiful, bloggable images.<\/p>\n
Images should be\u00a02000px wide<\/strong>.\u00a0Please send lots of detail images (flowers, stationery, venue styling) and\u00a0couple portraits.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll send you a copy of my interview form for your couple to complete. (This is required for every wedding we publish.)<\/p>\n I\u2019ll also need your website and social media handles if you\u2019d like us to include these in your feature.<\/p>\n Please send me a link to a Dropbox folder containing 60ish of your most beautiful, bloggable images.<\/p>\n Images should now be\u00a02000px wide<\/strong>\u00a0(not longest edge! Even portrait orientation images need to be this width)<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not a member of Barefoot Bride NJ, we\u2019ll send you joining information (unless your submission fits with our diversity & inclusivity pledge.)<\/p>\n We\u2019ll always try to reply within 14 working days to every submission. If it\u2019s a yes, you\u2019ll be given a date for publication, which will usually fall within 8 weeks of receiving your submission. It could even be the following day, if we have a slot free and LOVE your submission!<\/p>\n From the 60 or so images you send, we will select 30-40 favourites for the blog: these will be the images we feel will inspire readers the most, and those which are beautifully photographed, overflowing with romance and take my breath away.<\/p>\n Please be aware that by submitting your images to the Barefoot Bride NJ Blog you are agreeing to us publishing them. Occasionally we\u2019ll publish the day after you send in your submission; so it\u2019s really important that you don\u2019t submit to other blogs at the same time, that any exclusivity clauses from other publishers have ended, and that you have permission from everyone involved. Once submissions are made they can\u2019t be withdrawn.<\/p>\n Wedding blogs actively encourage sharing to Pinterest by our users and editorial teams. At Barefoot Bride NJ we try and alt-tag all images with the photographer\u2019s name because the alt tags feed through to Pinterest descriptions. We also encourage the use of (subtly) watermarked images so that where these are shared on social platforms people will see your brand. Do watermark your images if you\u2019d prefer to; don\u2019t submit if you\u2019re not happy for them to be Pinned. By submitting your images to the Barefoot Bride NJ Blog you agree to us sharing your images across ALL of our social media.<\/p>\n Get in touch: submit@barefootbridenj.net<\/p>\n As an Barefoot Bride NJ member if you have a product launch, new website, exhibition or exciting event you\u2019d like us to share, please ask. We\u2019re happy to share beautiful stationery collections, wedding cake designs, contemporary accessories and wedding ideas with the Barefoot Bride NJ Blog readers, so long as they fit the aesthetic of the blog. This means professional photography please \u2013 always.<\/p>\n And if you\u2019ve an advice article up your sleeve we\u2019d really love to hear your idea for a guest blog post! Send us a quick email with your idea and if it fits, we\u2019ll get back in touch with what happens next! submit@barefootbridenj.net<\/p>\n A note on exclusivity We don\u2019t like exclusivity policies: they\u2019re limiting, and we\u2019d rather see suppliers able to feature their work on every blog and print magazine, to get the most exposure they possibly can for their brands.<\/p>\n The only thing we ask is that you don\u2019t submit to different publications simultaneously. If a wedding or shoot is published on more than one blog in the same week, it\u2019s just a bit embarrassing. It\u2019s also better for your business to spread out your submissions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Diversity first We\u2019re working to represent everyone on Barefoot Bride NJ.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM US<\/h2>\n
Wedding experts, wedding suppliers<\/h2>\n
\nWe\u2019re often asked if suppliers are \u2018allowed\u2019 to share images before we publish a shoot, or if we accept submissions of weddings or shoots which have already been featured on other blogs. The answer is a resounding YES!<\/p>\n
