Burgh Brides is the perfect union of gorgeous weddings and a great city. Here, you’ll find real love stories and unique celebrations alongside Pittsburgh’s best scenery and venues. If your Pittsburgh wedding, engagement session, proposal, wedding shower, or styled shoot is creative and inspirational, we want to see it.

Please review our requirements, and use the form below to submit your session. Submissions sent via email or social media will not be accepted.

What We’re Looking For

The session must have taken place in Pittsburgh or the surrounding area in its entirety. We do not accept destination weddings or engagement sessions, proposals, wedding showers, or styled shoots that took place outside of the Pittsburgh area. We also do not accept anniversary sessions, boudoir sessions, or bachelorette parties.
Burgh Brides features a variety of session styles (modern, whimsical, rustic, boho, elegant, etc.). However, we are really looking for highly creative, stylish, or otherwise out-of-the-ordinary details or an incredible story that will resonate with our audience. There is a special place in our hearts for couples or vendors who incorporate Pittsburgh into their sessions in very unique ways.
Wedding submissions should be overflowing with beautiful or thoughtful detail shots from beginning to end: bouquets, ceremony programs, seating card display, tablescapes, cake table, centerpieces, etc. We want to see it all.
Styled shoot submissions should also focus on inspirational details.
Only a limited number of engagement sessions, proposals, and wedding showers are accepted each season. Therefore, we are in search of the most extraordinary locations, special themes, and photos that really wow us.

Submission Requirements

Photos/Videos

All photos must have been professionally taken. Our audience wants to see your images in all of their high resolution, JPG glory. Trust us, those pictures will really shine if they’re at least 1600 pixels wide/across with 72 dpi.
Please make sure your gallery includes at least 150 images for weddings, 75 for styled shoots, and 50 for engagement sessions, proposals, and wedding showers.
Do not submit your session until you have received the full gallery from the photographer. Preview galleries or images cannot be considered.
Wedding and styled shoot galleries should be heavily focused on detail shots.
Photographers, to allow for the greatest SEO impact, please do not code image names.
While not a requirement, beautiful videos will make your submission stand out from the crowd. As with the photos, these must have been professionally taken.
No watermarks or photo collages. Your photos are happiest on our website and social media feeds without them.

Terms

If your submission is accepted, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire. Vendors, please obtain written permission from both the photographer and the couple before submitting their session.
Pittsburgh is home to countless swoon-worthy weddings. We receive a lot of wonderful images, so please allow the Burgh Brides team up to two weeks to review and respond to your submission.
We adore exclusive, fresh content. But, we will accept a fabulous session even if it has already been featured on another blog. However, it is your responsibility to ensure the other blog’s exclusivity guidelines are followed.
While we do accept content from non-advertising wedding vendors, priority consideration and scheduling is given to Burgh Brides Vendor Guide members.
We typically feature one wedding per week, as well as one engagement session and one styled shoot per month. Therefore, our publication time frame is currently at least ten months. We do not release publication dates in advance.
