We’re so thrilled that you want to submit your event/shoot to our A Big To Do Event® publication! We ask that you please read our guidelines before submitting so you can make sure that your event is an editorial fit for A Big To Do Event Inc.
ALL PROS MUST BE OPEN TO WORKING WITH COUPLES/FAMILIES
We prioritize inclusivity and require all professionals featured on our site to be excited to work with couples and families of all orientations and identities. If your event is an editorial fit, we will reach out to each participating pro to verify their equality-mindedness.
EXCLUSIVITY REQUIRED
All events must be editorially exclusive to A Big To Do Event Inc. for two months past publication date.
WHAT WE FEATURE
On our weddings vertical, we feature real weddings, real proposals, real engagement shoots, real honeymoon shoots and styled shoots. For our styled shoots, there must be a tablescape element involved in order to be considered. For our family vertical, we feature family sessions, expecting shoots, kids’ birthday parties and nursery tours.
IMAGE REQUIREMENTS
We require at least 50 images for engagement, proposal and family shoots and 75-150 for real weddings and styled shoot submissions. Images must be high-res (2000px minimum), sans watermark. Please submit using a Dropbox, PASS, or Pixieset gallery link.
WHAT TO INCLUDE IN A SUBMISSION
Please include a brief description of the event. Additionally, we want to give credit where credit is due, so please be sure to include all participating pros with a link to their website (and if you include Instagram handles, we’ll really love you!). Imagery should be high-res sized at minimum 1600 pixels. If it’s a real event, we will ask the featured couple to fill out our questionnaire.
WHERE TO SUBMIT
Please submit to us using our submissions platform. We prefer image galleries be sent using photo-sharing platforms such as Pixieset or Dropbox.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
We focus on #LOVE so we feature styles of all types from all over the world, whether it’s a wedding in a Brooklyn museum, Florida resort or Italian villa. And as much as we love creative details, we also value the emotion that comes with life’s milestones, so we welcome submissions that are less detail-oriented but packed with emotion and beautiful photography.
TIMELINE
We try to review submissions within two weeks of being submitted, however we are a very small team, so patience is appreciated. We typically schedule three months out and publish dates can be changed at our discretion. If you’d like an update on your submission status, please email [email protected].
