Special Anniversary Offer: A full golf club photoshoot for just £199

Five years ago, to launch Carefree Golf Photography I sent out an email with a simple proposal: £199 for a golf course photoshoot.

Why? Whilst I knew people said nice things about my photography, I genuinely didn’t know if anyone would actually pay me to take photos of their golf course.

As they reopened after the initial pandemic lockdown, several clubs took me up on the offer, including Leamington and County, which was the site of our first ever commission (below) and a kind testimonial from GM Bryan Frazer:

“We were so pleased with Mike’s level of professionalism, and the results are stunning. Without question the best set of images we have ever seen of the course. I would have no hesitation in recommending Carefree Golf Photography.”

Those £199 shoots in the summer of 2020 turned into a career beyond my most optimistic hopes —working with brilliant clubs, tournaments and brands across the UK and Ireland. Since Carefree Golf Photography launched I’ve worked with over 60 courses, and to mark five years in business, I’m turning back the clock!

For one lucky club, I’m bringing back my original offer:

✅ Full photo shoot - compelling, evocative golden hour photography of your golf course
✅ 25 images with the option to purchase more at preferential rates
✅ £199

The full value today is over £1400, but this is a celebration of where it all started.

And if you aren’t successful, you won’t go empty handed. All clubs that enter will receive:

📸 Free Download - ‘Our Guide to Activating Photography for Your Golf Club’
Packed with tips to get the most out of your course imagery—online, on social and around your club.

🖥️ Free Photography Audit
I’ll personally review your website and social channels and send you quick-win suggestions to improve your photography and visual storytelling.

🎟️ Priority Booking for 2025
Bookings for the rest of 2025 are currently on hold. Clubs who enter the £199 shoot giveaway will get early access to our remaining availability.

I don’t want to worry about pages of T&Cs, but there are some ground rules…

• If you don’t mind when I visit your club, the cost is £199, and I will schedule the visit to you during our course photography season — one day between 21 May and 30 September — with at least 72 hours notice of our visit.
• If you would like to schedule your photoshoot for a particular day or window in the calendar, the cost is £199 plus expenses (accommodation and travel costs from Co. Down, NI).
• The draw is open to clubs in the UK & Ireland. If you’re based elsewhere, you are welcome to enter but the cost will be £199 plus expenses (accommodation and travel costs from Co. Down, NI).
• I have a simple weather policy — if the sun doesn’t shine, we’ll come back! 
• You will receive our 25 favourite photos, and will have the option to purchase more at a discount on our normal rates, and only if you want to.

Want to secure the £199 package?

Simply complete this form, and your club will be entered into a draw.

Deadline to apply: Midnight on Monday 19 May

I will draw one random winner, who will be announced shortly after.

Thanks for being part of the journey—whether you’ve been along for the ride since day one or just discovered my work. This is my way of saying thank you, and here’s to the next five years!
