Eco-Friendly Fridays | Ottawa Wedding Photographers
We put our eco-friendly friday blog posts on hold for a little while, just to get past the holidays and to devote our full attention to kicking of the 2010 wedding season (which so far has been stellar), but it’s time to get back to it!

Recently I picked up a copy of BoHo....

Though far from connoisseurs, we do enjoy a good bottle of wine at our house (usually red if it’s me picking it out). And most guests at a wedding also look forward to their glass or two of wine served with dinner. While most wines created using grapes that are grown with pesticides and chemical...
