David & Alison pre-wedding shoot

I finally got to photograph a couple on the beach! It may not have been a scorcher and the sun only showed its face a few times, but it was a beach nevertheless.

The best bit though, and even with David and Alison living literally five minutes away, was that I was able to show them a brand new place they had never been! How good is that to be able to not only show somebody a really nice new location, but to let them discover a small beach literally on their doorstep! Somewhere where we created memories. Somewhere they'll be able to keep on coming back to for the rest of their lives!

Every couple I photograph on their pre-wedding shoot are extremely sheepish and nervous. David and Alison were no exception. They had literally been dreading this moment. But as always after 10 minutes they almost forgot I was there!

Here's a few of my favourites.
