Welcome to EcoWedding

After putting a lot of work into planning our own Green Wedding, we decided to create this website as a resource guide for others wanting to make a statement about their love. We hope you find this useful, and feel free to contact us!

Looking for a Green Wedding Photographer?

Greener Photography is a non-profit organization that certifies professional photographers as "Greener Photographers", as well as educates both professionals, and the public, about ways to run a more environmentally friendly business (which can often be very challenging for a photographer). Greener Photography will be partnering with other like minded organizations that have strong environmental initiatives in the near future.

Greener Photography is training a network of wedding photographers on how to operate their businesses in an environmentally sensitive manner. These photographers, in turn, often choose to work with other eco-friendly vendors such as caterers, florists, etc. As a result, the photographer is able to share these vendor recommendations with their wedding clients. Therefore, booking a green photographer can often help a bride/groom in the wedding planning process because the photographer already has many other green vendor connections.
