Submissions

Photography Credit: Devlin Photos

If you are a newlywed, a photographer or a wedding supplier and you would like to be featured on Rock n Roll Bride, I would love to hear from you…don’t be shy!

I favour real weddings over engagement shoots and styled shoots, but I do feature all three. Boudoir is generally not my bag but if you have something really amazing and unique then try me! I like to be proven wrong as often as possible!

For bonus points, please take the time to read this post for more tips on how to get your submission really noticed before you send it my way.

Please note: I receive a huge amount of submissions everyday so unfortunately I am unable to feature every single one but I will drop you a reply to let you know either way.

Please send your submission via email to kat@rocknrollbride.com including the following information…

Wedding/photo shoot submissions

♥ Couple’s names, wedding date & location
♥ A short paragraph or a few bullet points laying out why you think this wedding/shoot is perfect for Rock n Roll Bride and anything that makes it particularly stand out
♥ A small selection of low res images (i.e. 500 pixels wide, 72dpi) that show the best of the wedding or shoot – make sure you include portrait of the couple and any quirky reception details. Between 10 & 20 images is ideal and please do not send high res images.
♥ Please also let me know whether the wedding/shoot has been submitted to or featured on any other blogs or in any magazines. As a general rule I will not feature anything that has already been published on other wedding blogs.

Please note: Permission to be featured from the photographer and the couple is imperative. Please get permission from all parties before submitting a wedding or photo shoot.

Wedding supplier featured posts

Please include the following info in an email if you are a wedding supplier who would like to be considered for a sponsored post…

♥ Your name(s)/company name, your location and website address
♥ What is it that you do and why you feel you are perfect for couples planning an alternative wedding

Please note: Featured or ‘sponsored posts’ are chargeable. Current rates and site statistics are available upon request. Further info on blog advertising can be found here.

If I do not feel the product or service you offer is suitable for Rock n Roll Bride I reserve the right to decline your request for advertising. On occasion I do accept products and gifts, however this does not guarantee a blog feature. I am unable to return any products once they have been sent.

Guest Posts

I do not publish guest posts, unless we are already BFFs. Seriously, Mr. Spammy SEO man, don’t waste your time asking.

And finally…

Any wedding supplier who I feature will be entitled to become a bona fide ‘Rockstar Vendor’! If you’d like your very own Rockstar Vendor badge to proudly display on your own blog or website, just drop me and email and I’ll shoot one right over.

    Hey K
    I just wanted to write and say how much I enjoy reading your blog- It’s very inspirational and gets my wheels turnin’. As a beginner photographer no one really cares for you and to be honest it’s sad, sigh…
    Anyway and with your blogs I get inspired whether other photographers want to help you or not- so thanks a million and please do keep up the good work- you’re helping more than you know!!!! muahhhh!!!

    Heya! I love your site for all it’s uniqueness! I think that it is great. I love how you have totally focused on brides who don’t want all the traditional pomp and circumstance. I am a SECOND time bride, 42, will be 43 the “next time around”. So tired of all the poo-poo comments about second weddings – elope! go to the court house! ect. If you have ever gone through a divorce (after 15+ yr marraige , there are many reasons to celebrate this occasion. Yes, we will not do may things, but some things are just as impt the second time around. Now, here is my request… can you please showcase some second time brides?! All the website/blogs that I have found were all waaaayyyyy too religious or too conventional.. You would be doing a whole OTHER sector of us a huge favor! Rock On. Peace Out

    Hey!

    Just to say that – although I am NOT married and NOT engaged I loooove this site! I am, however, Bridesmaid this year three times (two of which are VERY ‘normal’ weddings, the other not [Im being a Maid of Merryment]) and all the wedding plannign with friends and family has made me realise just how same-y weddings can be. Me; I want something different – lots of nice colours and cool things and FUN. Luckily I have an off-the-wall partner who wouldnt – no – COULDNT have a regular wedding … so if I get engaged/married anytime soon…. Ill let you know :)

    Thank you again!

    Hiya,just been pointed to ur blog by a friend of mine who was mentioned in one of ur blogs,dresses at no. 9.this is a fantastic idea! i hate traditional weddings and ill tell u the story of my wedding.when i was a wee girl i went to a fashion show that one of my dance teachers was in,she came out on to the runway wearing a beautiful black wedding dress.as soon as i saw it i said ‘im getting married in a black wedding dress’…and i did.my husband and i had a goth/vampire wedding(fangs included!),me in my black and red wedding dress which i made myself,hubby looking like dave vanian from the damned,black and red wedding cake and mosh pits and head banging at the reception.
    having a look around its fantastic to see that so many ppl want something different for their big,something thats so personal to them.so thanks for sharing. laura xxx

    HI

    I will get married in April 2010 in a Destination Wedding that will be held In my home town…. Brazil. It will be a very elegant and in the same time modern wedding. I would like to know what I need to do in order to have the wedding published in your magazine.

    Thanks a lot.

  24. Poppy

    Loving the blog Kat! – I just recently got engaged and was fearful of all the traditional wedding madness that would ensue, hoping for something less white and glossy and more fun!

    I’m glad to have found your website (through All Fur Coat and No Knickers), which I have been using as inspiration in planning our wedding. I’ll let you know how I get on! It’s great to know that there are many kindred spirits out there who do not subscribe to wedding norms!

    Roll on the wedding :)

  26. Costa Rica Weddings Fan

    Wow I love your blog! I work down in Costa Rica doing weddings and we never see amazing weddings like this! Do you ever have people submit international weddings? I love your work and enjoy reading about the weddings from down here! Take Care!

  30. Julieta

    Love your blog! We are having a two-bride wedding (as in a lesbian wedding) in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I got inspired and just launched my own blog (JulietandJulieta), would love to hear your thoughts. I want to make a wedding diary of the upcoming 5 months, our wedding is in May.
    Best wishes for 2011!

    Hi ya
    Am so pleased to find your blog and now want to get married again. Sometime later in the year, i would love to make a submission of photos of the cupcakes I took to the Brighton Tattoo Convention.

  40. Elly Mac

    I am so very glad that I found your website, and I am looking forward to submitting a wedding. Your site is just so much fun, exactly what the wedding industry needs.

  41. Sammyjean

    Hi! Loving the site, thanks for being a wedding thing which isn’t a “Wedding” thing. I’m arranging my own wedding party and am allergic to any planned sickly wedding suppliers, favours, name cards, seating arrangements, over priced shops, ivory, boring boring and just not me. I haven’t used any such item yet…so I’m really enjoying it!! Thanks for the inspiration!

  42. Nicola Shipley

    Hi Kat, I am going to be selling my cakes at Tattoo conventions around UK and v. excited about it too! I hope to meet people who appreciate the Alternative style of my speciality cakes and then I can be featured on your totally fab site if you like my style.
    Great to hear a blog like this is getting it’s name out there, Well Done!!
    Really, really love the photographers you feature, beautiful work xx

  43. Lucille Von Frock

    Hey Kat!! Been meaning to leave you a message on here for a while, but as you probably know, sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get around to the little things!! Anyway, as with everyone else commenting on here I LOVE YOUR SITE!!! I started a personal styling business late last year and your site and personal feedback to my blog has been so helpful, I really do appreciate what you do for us not so savvy world wide webbers out there!! I’m now starting another business (!), it’s a burlesque hen night package for ladies wishing for a night of glamour in London, the website isn’t up and running yet, but again, I’ve been referring back to your tips constantly – you are a Godsend!! Thanks doll – YOU ROCK!!! xx

  44. Kat Curzon

    From one Kat to another! Thank the stars above for your site! I thought i had a very clear idea of what my wedding next year is going to be but have to confess i’ve hardly had a thought of my own since looking at this site! Mine will be a 50′s inspired tea party theme. Me and my ginger dream man have our local town hall booked for its quirkyness and slight mental hospital feel about it, not everyones cup o tea but neither are gingers! Hope to make the cut next year!

  45. Katrina Rowley

    Hi there. I love love love Rock n Roll Bride. You’ve done such a great job. Thanks to you I really am planning the wedding that is perfect for me and my partner. We’ve had a few raised eyebrows for the ideas we want but when I’ve showed them this blog they’ve really got amongst it and even though it’s not quite two years until I get wed. I am really looking forward to putting the plans in action. Many thanks again. A great inspiration. :-) xxxxxx

  46. Mart

    Fantastic blog with some great pics and really useful info. I love the quirkiness of it all and the way it kicks those tired old wedding formulas into touch. Nice one Kat.

  47. gingerpants

    I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!
    You’ve provided us with so much inspiration for our ‘out of the box’ ceremony next month, we’ll definitely be sending you a submission!
    Keep up the good work Kat! xxx

    Love the photo at the bottom- your hair is pinker than ever!! Think that might be one of my fave photos of you. When I EVENTUALLY get round to renewing my vows with hubby, I’ll definitely be submitting it in the hope it’ll be featured… it’ll probably be almost solely supplied by your rockstar vendors lol
