Behind The Scenes of our Summer Shoot

Written by: Ella Carpenter

It’s almost time for us to reveal our summer 2015 campaign ‘Those Summer Lights’ with all our super (if we do say so ourselves) new lights.

Of course campaigns don’t just happen, the Lights4fun team have been busy for months getting ready for summer. From the buying team and founder Tim finding beautiful lights and decorations to the marketing team dreaming and delivering the shoot plan it’s been a long journey. Our wonderful stylist and photographer (Lucy Gough and Ollie Perrot) came to work with Lights4fun for the second year running and we can’t wait to show you the finished photos.

While on the shoot the team had to endure the famously temperamental Yorkshire weather, there was a small storm to contend with, but the sun shone in the end and we captured some stunning images to show you of our latest garden lights. During May and June we’ll be showcasing our glorious inspirational photography on the blog and throughout our website along with quick tips to make your outdoor entertaining magical this summer.
