Help Me Photograph The Royal Wedding
Donation protected
For the past two years, I’ve travelled the country photographing the biggest news events, from the horrific Manchester Arena terror attack in 2017, to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s International Women’s Day engagements.
I’m not employed, and I rarely ever sell my pictures. I’m a student journalist - and all my work is out of my own pocket. But I share them for free with my followers on Twitter and Facebook, providing content to those that can’t be there.
I’d love to do this during the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle on 19th May 2018, but the only way to guarantee a photographer position is to become accredited - which has been set at a price of £750 + VAT. This is a surreal price for a student like me, and heartbreaking given the fact I’d love to share photographs of the day with my followers.
As a result, I’ve been persuaded to create this GoFundMe to go towards to cost of accreditation/ equipment to help during the Royal Wedding day (such as spare camera batteries (it’ll be a 24+ hour shift for me), sleeping bag (sleeping out overnight the night before), SD cards, camera lenses, food, and travel, plus more.)
Whilst I don’t expect to meet the cost of £750+, I am making this just a little bit worth your while; if you decide to help fund £25 towards this, I will personally send you a full-resolution exclusive photograph from the day - anything from Meghan and her mother in the carriage, to Harry and Meghan riding the procession route, or maybe even HM The Queen if she travels along my route. I'm at the mercy of who travels by my position in terms of the Royal Family (we know for a fact Harry and Meghan will, and it's believed Meghan and her mother will, too...)
This will be an exclusive photo unavailable anywhere else, not sold anywhere, and not released on social media.
Of course, funding for this will also allow me to release many photographs throughout the day (and the night before!) on my social media platforms for everyone to enjoy - that is the main aim of everything I do.
So please, if you feel like helping this student photographer photograph the Royal Wedding, and help cover the costs that it will take from me, donate to this and I will do everything in my power to get the most out of the two days that I am there to create content for all of you.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this, and I would be overjoyed to answer any questions you may have!
