Submissions | The Ampersand Magazine

We love a good narrative and celebration. Send us your story and let's start inspiring.

We love love. Send us your event.

We're all about celebrating love and creativity in full color so, of you've got a wedding, styled shoot, engagement session, bridal shower, bachelor(ette) bash, or anything fabulously festive in the Northern Virginia area, we want to see it.

We're not an exclusive publication, which means you're free to submit your event elsewhere, too. We just want to help share a spotlight on moments that matter.

A few things to keep in mind:

Timing matters. Events should have taken place within one year of the publication release. (Example: A 2024 event is fair game for our 2025 issues, but 2023 is too far in our rearview.)
Submission ≠ guaranteed feature. We love seeing what you've created, but not all submissions will make it into the magazine, website, or social media. That said, we always appreciate your creativity and effort.

Guidelines

Fill out the form below and submit 10 photo highlights. You'll get feedback within 10 business days regardless if your submission has been accepted or not. If you have any thoughts or ideas, contact us at hello@theampmag.com.
