FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | 27/07/2020 |
Excited about your wedding day but worried about the impact on the environment?
Globally we are becoming more aware of the negative impact we are inflicting on the environment and the wedding industry is no exception. Sky Ocean Rescue reported nearly 20kg of single use plastic at every wedding each year. It's not only plastic we need to reduce, a study carried out by Sainsbury's states that 10% of wedding food gets thrown away. The amount of plastic used, food wastage and CO2 contributions caused from weddings each year is concerning!
The biggest sustainability offenders
Water bottles, gift bags, balloons, exotic flowers & decorations.
Now we aren't suggesting you can't have decorations at your wedding but you can search for eco friendly alternatives such as:
Recycled paper for all your Wedding stationary
Biodegradable confetti
Bubbles
Ribbon wands
Organic flowers or you could grow your own!
Other ideas for lowering your overall carbon footprint
Using local organic produce & donating the extra or leftover food
Create a post wedding recycling plan with your venue
Charitable donation for favours
DIY where you can using recyclable items
Book local suppliers
Renting your wedding attire or shop vintage!
Having an outdoor wedding or your ceremony and wedding reception at the same venue to avoid excess travel
Staying at green hotels with a recycling policy who are energy efficient and use biodegradable products
Don't let the excitement of your wedding come at the expense of the environment. There are many eco-friendly alternatives out there. It's important that we all do our bit to help!

Organisation Profile:
Epps Photography was set up to provide newlyweds with stunning events of their most special day. Based in Nantwich, Cheshire, I’m Will, a professional freelance photographer with a passion for travel, good music, great dogs, beautiful cars, and, of course, capturing the perfect shots. With over 10 years working behind the lens, I’ve gained phenomenal experience and like to shoot in a documentary style that produces natural and organic light shots. I prefer images that are candid and those that aren’t overly styled or posed.
I shoot discreetly capturing the tender looks, stolen kisses, hearty chuckles and tears of joy that embody a beautiful wedding. When my couples look back on their photographs, I want them to see a genuine depiction of who they are and the heartfelt reactions of their loved ones.
Every wedding is unique & we like to enhance that by tailoring each package to the couple. We offer half or full coverage, with 1 or 2 photographers. We also have a wedding referral programme in place.
