You may well be getting the gist of the fact that I adore beachy sessions….honestly, I they really are my favourites and West Wittering Beach in Sussex is one stunning backdrop for an Engagement style session.
When Rebecca and Matt suggested this location for their pre-wedding photography I whooped as it’s one of my favourite spots! The one thing that lurked in the back of my mind was a) the weather and b) how busy would it be given the lovely weather? Well, it turns out that sometimes you have to reschedule a few times to get the perfect conditions(!) but once you have the right day, getting there at about 8.30 or 9am means you beat the crowds and I was utterly delighted to find we had the place, pretty much, to ourselves.
Aside from Wedding planning, Rebecca and Matt have had a lot going on since I first met with them…moving house, TWICE, being just part of that….but any stress that may have been lurking could not have been less apparent as they strolled along the beach together at around 8.30am. Whilst they strolled and chatted, I did my usual thing of dropping behin, running ahead, hopping and squeaking as I discovered what a joy it was to have them in front of my camera. The conversation flowed from start to finish covering the obvious subject of Wedding photography, but also encompassing food sharing (or not sharing as the case may be!) a love of clouds, tea drinking and evenings out socialising! It’s hard to feel anything but carefree and smily on a deserted, sunny, beach.
Bu the time I got home, I felt utterly elated and declared to Geoffers that we need to move to the seaside; that’s what a morning running around on the beach with lovely people will do to you. I’m so excited for their Wedding day at Avington Park this weekend! Watch this space for pictures of their beautiful day. In the meantime, here are a few favourites from their pre-wedding session…
