·         Only professional photos will be accepted and a photo credit will be listed in return. If included on our blog or website, a link will be provided.

·         All photographers must sign a photography release form once the images are selected for print or online exposure. For our blog, we do require exclusivity for the images until 6 months after the date wedding is featured. For print, we require total exclusivity.

·          Event must have taken place within the last 12 months to be considered.

·          If wedding is scheduled to run on a different wedding or travel blog/website or magazine, it cannot also be featured on Destination I Do’s blog, web site or magazine.

·          300dpi jpg images with an assortment of destination, bride/groom, detail and decor shots are suggested. Please provide a minimum of 30 images and a maximum of 100 images. If more than 100 images are sent, we will require the sender to narrow down the selections before we will review the submission.
