MERSEA ISLAND BEACH ENGAGEMENT SHOOT

Earlier this month, I met up with Steve and Esther for their Mersea Island engagement shoot ahead of their wedding in July. We opted for a shoot on the beach and the weather was on our side. Warm, sunny and the beach was virtually empty too. Definitely one of my favourite places to visit! It's a place of special meaning to Esther as she spent a lot of time there as a child having grown up in the area.  We kicked off the shoot at their family beach hut accompanied by their lovely dog Eddie! Here's a preview of their Mersea Island Engagement Shoot.

MERSEA ISLAND ENGAGEMENT SHOOT

Today's feature is a Mersea Island Engagement Shoot. When I first met up with Richard and Michelle, they mentioned the idea of having their pre-wedding shoot by the sea. So I put my thinking cap on and researched a few areas along the Essex coast line that would be suitable. Essex has plenty of seaside towns. However, I was keen to pick one that was quiet and pretty. Mersea Island made a perfect location. We had to time the shoot well, as high tides twice a day separate Mersea from the rest of Essex. It had rained for most of the morning, which kept other visitors away. By the time I met Richard and Michelle in the afternoon, the beach was very quiet. There was a lovely comedy moment when a passing dog photobombed the shoot. Despite being a little cold, we were lucky as the rain held off for the duration of their Mersea Island Engagement Shoot. I'm looking forward to visiting again in the summer.
