What this Class is all About

Get your wedding photos published, and turn standout weddings into visibility, credibility, and more bookings. Learn how to build a publish-ready portfolio editors notice, pitch the right outlets with confidence, and submit features that protect exclusivity while crediting every vendor.

This prime class is led by Janet Howard, an Atlanta-based photographer, author, and coach with 20+ years behind the lens. Janet has been published more than 50 times, including in People, Vanity Fair, and The Knot, and is a staff photographer for City Lifestyle Magazine.

Her editorial eye was shaped through years of working with planners, stylists, and brands. She knows what editors are really looking for, and how photographers can deliver the images and stories that make a submission irresistible.

You’ll leave with a repeatable submission system, a vendor-credit workflow that earns referrals, and the confidence to pitch to outlets that fit your brand. If you’re ready to get noticed and booked, this is where that momentum begins.

Not at all. If you’re already photographing weddings, the gear you own is more than enough. Editors aren’t checking what camera you used—they care about sharp, well-lit images, thoughtful compositions, and plenty of detail variety. It’s your approach, not your equipment, that gets your wedding published.

Janet has been a full-time photographer for over 20 years and has been published more than 50 times in outlets like People, Vanity Fair, and The Knot. She’s also the staff photographer for City Lifestyle Magazine. Beyond credentials, she brings insider knowledge from years of collaborating with editors, planners, and vendors—so she knows exactly what gets a “yes” and how to guide photographers through every step of the publish-ready process.
