Welcome to my blog. On this page you will find articles I personally write about the photography industry and my work. You will also see blogs showing the photos from many of my photo sessions.
I discovered a great new company based in Omaha that provides employment opportunities for low-income residents. Called Mettle, it’s a company that does custom wood pieces such as handmade wedding reception furnishings and gifts.
Most newly formed companies have one goal – to make money. And while that is a worthy goal, Mettle took it up a notch by making an effort to help those who are less fortunate.
The about us page at www.mettleomaha.com says it is an inner-city business that invests in its community. Its goal is to create future local leaders by promoting job skills, trade skills and personal and leadership development.
“We have created an environment which is leading us towards our vision: To take Omaha metro area into an unchartered, meaningful future,” according to the company.
Located in north Omaha, Mettle does custom, handmade gifts and items that are perfectly suited to wedding receptions. I got one of their walnut charcuterie boards and it is beautiful enough to use as home décor. I have decided to use it as a decorative piece in my living room and it looks great! I love it!
I could see these items serve as gifts to the bride and groom, or gifts from the bride and groom to the wedding party, and even great bridal shower gifts.
The company tells me it is a startup that makes beautiful and exquisite wood furniture and furnishings for homes as well as offices. It also creates engraved personalized items like engraved acrylic photos and more. Available items can be seen here: https://mettleomaha.com/retail-shop.
The company is currently taking orders for coffee tables and dining room tables, using walnut, cherry, maple and oak.
Brides and grooms looking for something totally unique for their wedding party, or those looking for something different for the bride and groom, you can do no wrong by looking at Mettle.
