Candlelighters Book Project

A little update about the Candlelighters Book Project. We were aiming to have the book done and printed before Christmas. When we came to designing the book however it's clear that we still need a few more families through on the project to make it a decent book worth having.

Several things have affected the progress of this project - most notably the "recession" and the British weather.So we have decided to extend the deadline a little in the hope that more families will participate and support this initiative. What we can't do however is pump anymore of our personal resources (other than time) into the promotion of this project.

Because we run a successful wedding photography business (we are in fact one of the leading Yorkshire Wedding Photographers - see our site www.fnsweddings.com for what we do) we have been able to support the Candlelighters project in this last year by paying for publicity material, newspaper advertising, PR agencies, time and travelling expenses to location shoots across Yorkshire etc.to promote the scheme however realistically in the present economic climate we can no longer afford to do this.

With this in mind we are also happy to include any photographs taken in our studio in the book - so if you have had a shoot with us recently and would like to buy a space in the book for your child/ren (with ALL the proceeds going to Candlelighters for the space you have purchased) please get in touch. Equally if you would like to participate in the scheme and are happy to travel to our studio in Boroughbridge for your shoot please get in touch.

If we include studio photographs within the book then that opens the scheme up to photographs taken whatever the weather and we don't need to wait until summer to get more participating families. So, if you know of anyone who may like to participate in this scheme please ask them to get in touch to arrange a shoot.
