One Percent of profits will be donated to help protect our planet.
One Percent
I am super excited to announce that I have signed up to 1% for the planet. Which means 1% of my profits will go to environmental causes around the world.

For a while now i’ve been thinking how I can do better for the planet and our environment. The way we treat our planet today will affect future generations including my own kids, so I want to start making positive changes to my business. Also if I start making these changes now and show my appreciation for our planet then hopefully my children and other younger generations will grow with an eco-friendly mindset too.

 

Every time you book a wedding with me you’ll also be giving back to our planet. This is how….

Reducing waste
holiday2020
Trying to play my part by reducing the amount of plastic and non-compostable materials used as much as I can.

I am also discontinuing sending out USB’s to my clients, all my images will be available to download via your online gallery, which would be the exact file size and resolution that would be on a USB. Taking this approach will help reduce the carbon footprint generated along with using less plastic too. Making sustainable choices like this will help protect natural resources.

USB’s also do fail, so having your images on the cloud provides much more convenience, and peace of mind of a secure back up. When you have downloaded your gallery, I urge you to back it up to a cloud back up of your choice, such as Google Photos, iCloud, Dropbox etc..

Giving Back

"No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change.” Barack Obama

I really feel it is our moral responsibility to help combat climate change, help the environment to protect planet Earth for future generations.

Even though these are small steps, I really am trying to make a genuine effort on a daily basis in my business and life in general, which I hope will make a difference to the future of our planet by becoming more environmentally conscious.
