Real Green Weddings
Location
The couple chose to have their wedding in the lovely village of Vernazza, Italy. Vernazza is one of five villages that make up Cinque Terra, Italy, which is a Unesco World Heritage Site and National Park. These remote villages were only connected to the outside world one hundred years ago by a railway line. Today, they maintain an “Old World” simplicity and charm—walking paths, boats, and trains are the only means of transportation between the villages. Katie, Jordan, and their guests took advantage of this; 90% of their travel to and from wedding events was by train, bus, boat, or foot.
Invitations
Katie and Jordan's invitations, locally printed postcards of the location, were sent one year ahead of the wedding to ensure the guests had plenty of time for planning their travel. To save paper, the postcards were the only printed item; all other communication was through the couple's wedding website, email, and phone calls. To add a personal touch to their mailed invitations, the couple used self-photographed stamps.
Photography
Photography, by Shane Keenan and his wife Jess, was a completely digital, paper-free process.
