" I promised I&amp;#x27;d start sharing more Real Wedding Albums on Save the Date, so that means I&amp;#x27;m going to need more pictures of gorgeous brides, handsome grooms, and their amazing weddings. If you want to be featured in a Real Wedding Album, here&amp;#x27;s exactly what I need: FROM YOU A little bit of info about your wedding. Most important, your first name, your groom&amp;#x27;s first name, your wedding date, and the city and state you were married in. If you want to share more info&amp;amp;#8212;more about your love story or your wedding planning&amp;amp;#8212;that&amp;#x27;s great, but the only info I need are the items listed above. The names of any vendors you want to call out. Love your seamstress? Want to hug your cake maker? Give them a little love by submitting a list of vendors and links to their websites if they have &amp;#x27;em. Please submit vendor lists exactly like this: Bride&amp;#x27;s Dress: Melissa Sweet from Sueno Bridal Boutique http://www.suenobridal.com/ Bridesmaid Dresses: J.Crew http://www.jcrew.com/ Wedding Venue: Jonathan Edwards Winery http://www.jedwardswinery.com/ Please keep the &amp;quot;http://www.&amp;quot; on there. Don&amp;#x27;t trim it to davidsbridal.com. You can credit any vendors you like (including, say, your stationer, even if your invites aren&amp;#x27;t pictured), but I can&amp;#x27;t print random shout-outs to &amp;quot;the world&amp;#x27;s most awesome maid of honor!&amp;quot; or whatever. Send the info above to glamour[dot]weddings[dot]girls[at]gmail[dot]com. Please try to coordinate with your photographer so I get the info from you and the photos from him or her on the same day. FROM YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER About 50 photos of your wedding. More or less is fine, but please don&amp;#x27;t send a lot more (100) or a lot less (10). The photos should show the little details that made your wedding extra-special. Emotions are GOOD! I don&amp;#x27;t need photos of food (except the cake!) or lots of photos of the crowd dancing. (Ask yourself: Does this photo of a platter of shrimp cocktail or Aunt Florence doing the chicken dance really capture the spirit of the wedding?) And I tend not to run big group portraits. You know, &amp;quot;Everyone from the bride&amp;#x27;s family, line up. OK, smile!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Now the bridesmaids, line up and smile!&amp;quot; I get why you want those pictures, but they tend to look a little forced and a little fake, and that&amp;#x27;s not what we&amp;#x27;re going for here. A few portraits of the bride and groom are fine though! The photos should be: Un-watermarked. Web-resolution. NOT print resolution. 72 dpi and a maximum width of 724 px is sufficient. If the files are too big, I can&amp;#x27;t upload them to our server. Labeled chronologically, with the .jpg lowercase. So 1-azure-photography-kim-rory-real-wedding.jpg is a picture of the bride getting her makeup done, and 50-azure-photography-kim-rory-real-wedding.jpg is a picture of the last dance. Please make sure the file names don&amp;#x27;t include spaces or symbols. And, again, the .jpg should be lowercase. We can&amp;#x27;t upload .JPG or .jpeg files. (Having the photographer&amp;#x27;s name in the photo files improves her Web presence, in case you were wondering!) Each photo file needs a corresponding square-cropped file with &amp;quot;-square&amp;quot; at the end. This is a little confusing, so bear with me. For every photo we upload, we also need to upload a square version. So in order to upload 1-azure-photography-kim-rory-real-wedding.jpg, it needs the corresponding file 1-azure-photography-kim-rory-real-wedding-square.jpg. The square crops don&amp;#x27;t need to be perfect&amp;amp;#8212;if someone&amp;#x27;s body gets chopped in half, that&amp;#x27;s fine; that square photo won&amp;#x27;t see the light of day&amp;amp;#8212;but they need to exist, if that makes sense. They HAVE to be perfect squares or the file won&amp;#x27;t upload, and the &amp;quot;-square&amp;quot; needs to fall right before the &amp;quot;.jpg&amp;quot;. It&amp;#x27;s fine if your photographer wants to automate the square cropping. Please send the photos as a ZIP file. Your photographer probably has a preferred way to sending photos, whether it&amp;#x27;s YouSendIt or SugarSync. WeTransfer.com is a great free option, if you need one. The photos should be sent to glamour[dot]weddings[dot]girls[at]gmail[dot]com. Please don&amp;#x27;t send a link that will expire in a week, because it might take me a while to download the pics. I think that&amp;#x27;s it. (Easy for me to say.) Let me know if anything needs clarifying, and I&amp;#x27;ll update the info above!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
