Sustainability

Here at Copper & Blossom Photography I believe in running my business with care - not only for my clients but also for the environment. I am committed to reducing my environmental impact where possible and operating in a more sustainable, responsible way. While I’m a small business, I believe every choice matters.

Reducing Travel Impact

Locally focussed – I actively seek to work with venues and clients close to home (Wiltshire and the surrounding counties) to minimise travel emissions.
Efficient travel – I plan routes carefully, combine bookings where possible, and avoid unnecessary trips.
Remote consultations – I offer Zoom or phone consultations to minimise unnecessary travel for meetings.

Offsetting My Carbon Footprint

Ecologi contribution – I contribute monthly to Ecologi, a platform that funds reforestation and verified climate action projects. This helps me offset the unavoidable carbon footprint that comes with running a business.
Eco-conscious web hosting – In addition my website host supports Ecologi, meaning that just by choosing where I host my site, I’m reducing my digital impact too.

Sustainable Products & Suppliers

Eco-friendly printing – When offering albums and prints, I aim to work with suppliers who prioritise recycled materials, minimal packaging and carbon-neutral production methods.
Minimal packaging – I keep packaging materials to a minimum and always try to use materials that can be recycled or composted.

Equipment & Energy Efficiency

Built to last – I invest in high-quality equipment that I maintain and repair to extend its life, avoiding unnecessary upgrades.
Rechargeable batteries – I exclusively use rechargeable batteries to reduce single-use waste.
Low-energy workflow – Editing is done on energy-efficient devices and all client galleries are delivered digitally.

Digital-First Workflow

Paperless operations – From contracts and invoices to questionnaires and client communication my workflow is predominantly digital.
Online-only galleries – Clients receive beautifully curated digital galleries, avoiding physical waste unless prints are specifically requested.

Ethical & Inclusive Business

People and planet focused – Sustainability is about more than the environment. I run my business with empathy and inclusion at its core, working with clients of all backgrounds, identities and abilities.
Low-impact shooting style – I photograph weddings and events in a documentary, natural way. This means that meaning I blend in, tread lightly and leave things as I found them.

Ongoing Improvements

As my business evolves, I will continue to explore new ways to reduce my environmental footprint and improve my sustainability practices. I'm always open to feedback and learning from others in the creative and wedding industries.
