Kristina Carter of Vrai Photo shares tips for lessening your impact, maximizing your resources and eliminating the eco guilt. She said on Portovert that shopping locally for green photography products is the ideal way to lessen your impact. However, labs and printers with green practices are not always around the corner, especially when it comes to wedding albums. In the absence of a sustainable local vendor, look for a photographer who has relationships with other eco-friendly companies and suppliers. For instance, their album company gives back a portion of their proceeds to support the environment, so they know they are as committed as they are. For everything else, use the most reliable local lab available. In the end, do what you can and feel good about it, whether it’s taking one of these steps or all of them. Your wedding pictures will remain with you forever and you want to remember how happy you were that day, not how guilty you felt.

Beyond being socially responsible, Kristina is an amazing photographer. She is able to capture those special moments in a very creative way. Visit her beautiful site, vraiphoto.com, to view her portfolio.
