Another Green Step

How do you turn over the green leaf and live your life a little more eco-friendly? Start small. There's million little ways to make a big difference. In David Lynn Photography's quest to green up our wedding business, we finally (admittedly, much later than we intended) switched over to rechargeable batteries. I know this sounds incredibly mundane...but we're honestly psyched about it. Especially when you consider we motor through about 24 AA batteries per wedding to power our flashes and battery packs. That totalled at least 350 batteries this year alone...

So this is a photo of the last batch of dead batteries we will throw away and have them end up sitting for decades in some landfill. That's green...so small, so simple.



And as a tribute to Chris Jordan's photography...here's a the composite portrait of our battery consumption just for weddings this year. They're all probably sitting in a landfill somewhere right now. Now you get the idea of how a small change will have a bigger result...
