Top UK Wedding Blogs 2017

Where should you strut your stuff?

As photographers, we are always looking to “pimp” our work and increase our exposure because more exposure means more bookings! And who doesn’t love booking an awesome wedding?

One of the best (and most rewarding) ways to see and be seen by potential brides and grooms is on top UK wedding blogs.

As British wedding professionals, we sometimes are faced with an annoying challenge when searching for the “goldilocks” blog to feature our work. There are fewer blogs to choose from than our US counterparts and they are frequently inundated with submissions from both UK and US suppliers. So it is always a good idea to cast a wide net and if a wedding is passed over by a first choice wedding blog* – consider trying out a newer or smaller blog instead.

To make life a little easier for my UK wedding photography pals, I have put together a handy little list for you of the Top UK Wedding Blogs for 2017.

Listed alphabetically, I have also rated these top UK wedding blogs by “influence” (eg – popularity, Alexa score, social media following) as well as including a few other handy metrics such as their submission/editorial criteria and whether they accept only exclusive content. The latter metric can be really helpful when looking to get good mileage out of a particularly “on brand” wedding as blogs listed as “no” will accept weddings which have already been featured or blogged elsewhere.

The “influence” metric rates top UK wedding blogs from 1 to 3.

• • 1  … a small up & coming blog with a small following or a medium blog with an infrequent publishing schedule.
  • 2  … a medium blog with a medium sized following – a solid choice for good, reliable exposure.
  • 3  … a highly influential blog seen as an industry influencer.

Additionally, I have chosen to include a few non-UK blogs which are regularly frequented by UK couples and therefore still very much worth pursuing.

*remember, submission etiquette says you should shop a wedding to only one blog at a time and give up to 10 days for a response before shopping it elsewhere.

Did I miss out your favourite blog? Do you have any corrections for my list? Did I make terrible choices?

I tried my best to wade through all of the sites but I may have missed out some information and I would love to keep this list up to date.
