Earth conscious photographers

---

Free-flowing, adventurous, unassuming, and honest. Whether it's an elopement, a wedding, a beloved session, or a truth session - your experience will center around these key themes. Here are five earth friendly photography business practices that we conduct with every client:

Full-service photographer based in the PNW (Seattle, Washington). Travel makes my heart sing, so if you connect with the photographs that you see, I'd love to hear about where you're located and what you have in mind. 

1. When meeting clients for their consultation, if it’s not in the comfort of their own home, it’s likely to happen in a coffee shop that makes an avid attempt to avoid or reduce waste. 
2. 1) Recycle old equipment, and  2) Purchase what is used; this is one detail that we focus on to create less waste.
3. Hahnemühle photography prints.
4. I am proud to support four small business across the U.S.. It feels good to partner with other business owners, as opposed to big companies, knowing that all of my products are ethically sourced – each carefully hand printed, hand stretched, hand designed, and handmade. 
5. Running an ethical, sustainable, and eco-friendly business has been something of an ongoing process; one that I’m learning to be more conscious of as a business owner.

SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS AND ECO-FRIENDLY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS
BASED IN ITALY AND THE UK

We couldn't really claim to be outdoor lovers if we didn't deeply care about the impact that our lives and our business have on the environment.

Now that we are both mothers of two wonderful kids, we have realised even more how fragile and precious nature is and how important it is to raise awareness on sustainability and environmental issues. That's why we are constantly moving towards a more consistent eco-friendly way of living and towards a more ethical way of working in the wedding industry, which is, at times, a very wasteful one.

On a personal level, we are big recycling advocates, we try to minimise our use of plastic, our meat consumption or the purchase of unnecessary items. We try to shop from locally sourced retailers, we only eat seasonal fruit and veggies, we try to buy second hand as much as possible, we use reusable, washable, recyclable and recycled items rather than disposable, new ones. Most, importantly, we teach daily our children to respect and protect our planet. 

Clearly, we are far from being 100% green, but we deeply believe that small little steps taken by each of us will make a difference, even if a conversion to an eco-friendly lifestyle does not happen in full.

We do our best to ensure sustainability by minimising waste at every stage of the booking and delivery process. All our booking forms, brochures etc can be accessed and submitted online making our service paper free. We also provide our couples with a free online gallery for their wedding photographs which is live for 10years, minimising the need for plastic waste from discs and usbs. They can simply download their files instead. All our packaging is recycled, recycle able and from eco friendly sustainable sources. Our products are suitable for vegans cruelty free and we do not use any animal by products in our packaging.

Memories are driven by moments.

The best times have nothing to do with what you have, and everything to do with who you’re with.

Our favorite thing about wedding photography is the people and stories it introduces us to.

Brutal honesty is the key to successful relationships.

The art is in the emotion.

Kula was the most amazing dog ever.

Kalee is pretty great too.

We met through photography, then one fall hike in Acadia put us on the path to our own July 2017 wedding in Acadia

Take advantage of opportunities and treat each day as an adventure.

Simplify, shop local, eat local, and support local art & music.

Photographer + conservationist photographing weddings + editorials across the globe.

At the core of what we do, our art and lives, we yearn to make a difference and create beauty in an uncertain world. Capturing joyous moments, family bonds and once-in-a-lifetime events is an honor and a steadfast reminder of our connections to one another.

At KT Merry, we constantly strive to minimize our environmental footprint and be ecologically responsible in both our business and life. In that same spirit, we also seek to impact the causes most dear to our hearts as animal lovers and devoted conservationists.

Having rescued our own dog Axl, we became volunteers and foster parents at our local Humane Society. You can read about our adventures in fostering in this post on The Good Beginning.

Our annual holiday tradition at KT Merry involves donating to our favorite charities. Some of those include: Best Friends, Elephant Sanctuary, Save the Elephants, and Dogs on Deployment.
