As of the start of 2023, NW Creatives is officially a 1% for the Planet® Business Member.

Over the past few years especially, we've realized how easy it is to take our beautiful natural spaces for granted — and how fragile they really are. Our local wedding industry greatly benefits from the abundance of natural beauty that surrounds us on all sides, but that abundance isn't guaranteed.

We decided it was time to commit a small part of our annual revenue (revenue, not profit) to help protect our beautiful planet.

1% for the Planet works to prevent greenwashing, certify reputable
giving, and provide accountability for environmental giving. Currently, only 3% of philanthropic giving goes to protect the environment. Our planet needs more support and the 1% for the Planet® network is on a mission to change that.

Vendor friends, if this is something you've ever thought about doing, we'd be happy to share our experience with starting our membership! It was really easy and now we wonder why we didn't join sooner.

Several years ago, I got a cold email from a freelance videographer looking to get some second shooting gigs. I replied to him the same way I reply to every email like that, saying, “I don’t have anything for you at the moment, but I’d be happy to meet up for coffee if you ever want to talk shop. Maybe something will come up down the road.”

It’s important to note that I find myself in email exchanges like this almost on a weekly basis. But since we’re very careful about who we bring on our weddings, I would never offer a gig to someone without meeting them first.

So, I NEVER reply with a gig, but I ALWAYS reply with an offer to meet.

Only once has anyone taken me up on that offer. And that person was Scott.

Fast forward to now, I’ve lost count of how many weddings Scott has worked with NW Creatives, as a second shooter and a lead. In six years, it has to be getting close to a hundred.

Undoubtedly, our work has improved because of him.

Without meaning to, he weaseled his way into becoming an integral part of this little business, all starting with one email.

Anyway, thanks to , we finally got this good team photo so I figured it’d be a good excuse to share this bromantic letter.

Cheers, friend 🍻

There's nothing better than positive feedback from our amazing clients and knowing how much they loved their film! Having the trust to do the best job means SO much!

"Their professionalism combined with their creativity and kindness makes for an amazing experience. Not to mention the final product of the videos which we will cherish forever!"

Thank you so much Lisa & Taylor! So much fun getting to work with you both!

Getting aligned with your vendor team ahead of time can make all the difference. It's become a standard part of our process to reach out to photographers before every wedding and start to develop that chemistry and find out how we can work WITH each other, and not against. A quick email can go a long way.

Thanks for noticing Paige and Quinn 😉
