IN[FOCUS]

“Green” with envy over your friends super slick packaging? Thinking “gosh, that’s cool, but I really don’t want to spend that much per piece!” Introducing the best kept secret in wedding packaging … Kraft and Jute!

Kraft and Jute is a Pennsylvania based company making simple, beautiful eco-friendly packaging solutions catered to fit your business needs. Their main focus is for photographers, but many of their products I’ve used for wedding films. They have also customized products I’ve sketched on napkins and helped them design!

For what they offer, their price point per piece is very fair. Their customer service is off the charts and their facebook page is loaded with images of products. You will want one of everything when you are done browsing their online store. The best part is, you can dress up or dress down the “eco friendly” kraft look to be more modern or more earthy. It’s really a versitile style that many companies could implement… just see for yourself.

Deciding what bag to store your gear in is always a tough decision – how does one sort through all the options? 

Thankfully, twitter helped me seal the deal on purchasing the Think Tank Airport Addicted v2.0.

I was debating, wheels vs no wheels.

Do you play golf?

Are you a cart person or do you prefer to wheel or carry your own clubs?

Personally I like to have everything with me when I’m on the move (pre ceremony prep, running into a ceremony, moving between locations at venues).

Here in New England it’s rare that I will film at a venue with smooth surfaces from my car to the ceremony and reception. Often times I’m going through grass, a field, an Inn or old hotel (no elevators) so to have the “hands free” capability of going up stairs and still be able to carry a slider or tripod is a bonus for me.

Check out the capacity of these handy bags inside and out and see for yourself what may work best. I love my Addicted 2.0 backpack so much, I bought a second one within a month of owning the first. 

This year I’ve seen more Think Tanks (both wheeled and backpacks) at weddings then any other bag or brand. Who knows, maybe it’s a New England thing?
