Why do you not accept watermarked images?

We feel that watermarks hinder the experience of a vendor's work. We strive to make vendor listings as actionable as possible for couples looking for wedding inspiration and vendors. Everywhere an image is shown, we tag the photographer and any vendors featured in the wedding. These tags link back to the vendor's listing, where couples can view the vendor's photos, weddings and get in touch!
