Aurora Kretsch is a local photographer here in the Nashville area and she started a business within the last 5 years or so called Styled Shoots for a Cause. She reached out to me like a year ago for a similar session and she enjoyed working with me then, so she reached out for this particular shoot as well. There were still a ton of couples in wedding attire for the sessions I have worked with her, but the proceeds that vendors paid towards it are for different things each time. For example, one week the proceeds may go to The Equity Alliance. Another time, they may go to The Community Coalition Against Human Trafficking or even towards the Warpath River Park. It's one small way that wedding vendors can give back and I love that there is something like this out there in the world.
