I’m taking part in “Photographers for Charity”

I was recently made aware of “Photographers for Charity”.It was started in the UK by Andrea Lane, A photographer in Hertfordshire. The whole idea around Photographers for Charity is to raise money for different charities by offering a couple free wedding photography in return for raising money. This year the chosen charity is Cancer research UK. To tie the whole thing together the organisers want people to nominate deserving couples, so If you know a couple that you believe deserves free wedding photography, either because they’ve been touched by cancer in some way or maybe in these hard times would not be able to afford a photographer then head over to their website for more information but do it quickly as the closing date for nominations is 30th June 2009 with the lucky couples being informed by 14th July.


Each photographer has agreed to offer photographic coverage and, as a minimum, a high resolution disk to the winning couple completely free of charge as long as they have raised a minimum of £300 for the charity. If I am available to cover one of the weddings I will also be donating all profits raised in the sale of prints from the couples online gallery.


I have been involved in raising money for different charities since I was at school, organising talent shows, quizzes and karaoke parties but by donating my services I am going to be able to help the charity and give a couple some wonderful memories from their wedding day who may not have been in a position to afford a photographer for themselves.
