I met the fun and carefree bride to be Kryssi while attending the Plan Green event at the UC Davis campus. . She helped facilitate the event, and she was one of the first people to come up and talk to me while I was setting up my booth.  I was so excited to hear from her soon after about taking wedding photos for her and Jim! She’s the kind of woman who makes people around her smile,  and Jim snatched her up! Smart move Jim =)  Even though Kryssi works super close the the UC Davis Arboretum,  she wanted to get some different textures for her engagement session. We had a great time cruising around Old Sacramento and basking in the warm afternoon sunlight, surrounded by 100 year old brick buildings.  Check out some of my favorites from the day!

Love the pockets on this bag!



I just knew that Christine and Jim would be awesome, and they were… thanks for being so patient and fun, and I’ll see you in Tahoe in 31 days!

Much<3,

Dave

And I don’t mean winter grass, I’m talking about the concept of sustainability, especially from businesses.  Companies everywhere are turning to more environmentally responsible choices for distribution, communication, and day-to-day operations.  Many of the things they do benefit the environment and the business.  If you have been to Costco, you see a fine example there. No plastic bags are allowed, only leftover product boxes. And nobody complains!  Today on the UC Davis Campus,  attended a vendor fair where catering and venue businesses were invited to show off their environmentally friendly menu offerings, and companies were there to demonstrate how their facility is a wise choice for anyone who is an enviro-geek like myself.

And then there was me.  I was the only photographer there!  I didn’t have duck meatballs in creamy risotto to offer passerby’s,  I may not have been the busiest booth,  but I felt like  I was the most fun… Rather than have a typical trade show booth,  I turned my lil space into an instant photo-booth, and people could come over and have their picture taken doing something silly while they were browsing the vendors. Cool right?

So why the heck was I there??  I got a special invite from Lina, the Director of Event Services at UC Davis to attend the trade show and represent for all of us Green photographers out there.  Lina and I will be working on a project for UC Davis to help promote weddings on campus.  Check out the photography I’ve done at the UC Davis Arboretum to see how gorgeous this place is… I can’t wait to rock out some wedding photography here soon!  If you are a bride thinking about getting married here, check out their website for more details, and just know that fabulous pics are guaranteed!

I had a good time meeting new people from different vendors across the valley,  and of course the brides-to-be who were there looking for food options, and found wedding photos too =)

Special thank to Lina for inviting me to the Plan Green Trade Show, you and your crew were fun and energetic,  and I can tell you love your jobs!  Since every post can benefit from a photo or two, here’s a picture of Lina’s crew getting some hangtime!

Much <3,

Dave
