Brides Against Breast Cancer

I love to hear when the wedding industry matches up with a charitable cause. In the past, we’ve shared with you some of our favorite charities that you can donate to at your wedding in lieu of a favor. But recently, I was contacted by the fabulous photographer Heather Parker who told me about a great idea of hers called “Not Quite So Trash The Dress”.

Heather is looking for ladies who are interested in donating their wedding gown to charity and/or donating money to Brides Against Breast Cancer (Making Memories). In return, she is giving you a discount on some very cool photos (link to her photos). Think of it as a “Trash the Dress” or “The Day After” session with out really trashing your dress—just one last hurrah before it goes off for a good cause. If you’d rather keep your dress, you can always make a tax deductible donation and still receive the discount.

Now, Heather is located in Chicago, so if you are in that area this is perfect for you. However, she is originally from Boston and is occasionally back in the  New England area for weddings. You can contact her by phone here: 773-295-4292 (Chicago) or 617-297-2457 or email her at hparker@gmail.com. She is also on twitter: @hparker. Be sure to follow her! Below are some of my favorite photos from her!
