Green Wedding Idea of the Day -Wedding Rings

What are Ethical Diamonds and How Do You Find One? Why choose rocks for your wedding that are mined ethically?

It's a no brainer that you want to begin your new life together doing GOOD. So be sure and check out the link below. The ring above is a Brilliant Earth classic wedding diamond.

When you choose diamonds or other "rocks" that have been mined with a fair and conscientious standard you help prevent the raping of the earth, dictatorial militarization of whole societies (which usually includes the rape of women) and provide fair and just wages to those in need. So check out.... http://www.brilliantearth.com/about_products to learn about wedding diamonds.

Oh my, some have suggested that as a "wedding" photographer I should probably not talk about "politics" but you know I've always been a photojournalist and whether it's photographing in Iraq, photographing a wedding in Mexico, or Oregon I will always be a photojournalist. Those that want "real" will find me.

Hey my first page of my new website is up please stop by and check it out. http://www.BorkgrenPhoto.net

Do Tell-Where oh Where in the World would YOU say Your Vows?

If you could go anywhere on our globe would you say your vows ontop of a mountain top, would Santorini Greece or Italy be your wedding destination or would you choose an deserted island? This is Jen's & Jason's destination wedding in the Caribbean. They were so much fun and so romantic.Of course getting married in the Caribbean would make anyone giddy. Jennifer made little welcome sayings and rolled them up in paper and each guest (including the photographer) received one. I'm going to miss hanging out with these guys. I'll add more photos soon

I Believe in Miracles

I shot my first weddings last year and I had once said I would never shoot weddings. I love love love photographing weddings now.
I get to be around couples in love. Infectious love that fills me at each wedding ceremony.
I had been seeking for a path a way to balance out the war and violence that I cover as a photojournalist and now I get to spend days with people in love.
The hardest thing this last year was that my cat I had carried back from Iraq was run over by a car. I will forever miss "Sapper".

On the top ten list of really great:

I won the photo competition and the ShootQ grant set up by Rachel Lacour her husband Andrew Niessen and judged by Dawn Davis, Joe Bussinick,Jasmine Star and more.
This gave me the passage to Eastern Congo where I met nine-year-old Belice, her family and her village. It was if Belice and her village were waiting for me to arrive. I had made plans before I went but they each fell apart one-by-one.
Meeting Belice was random nothing but serendipity. Not really. I know before I could have imagined it, it was a setup, the planning had already taken place. And so perfectly.
