Trash the dress Location search part 2

It wasn't the best weather in the world, but while Ross and I had a rare day off we thought why not check out some more locations for Trash The Dress.

Ross had seen a nice portrait shot of a model on some rocks by Jay Fuller - posted on Model Mayhem.

He messaged Jay and asked where it was taken. Thinking it would be somewhere exotic we were both surprised to hear back that it had been taken on a beach opposite jaywick martello tower in Clacton!

So we decided to drive off and have a nose around. When we got there the first thing we did was wrap up warm. It was awful :( The weather, as always in this country, was cold, wet and windy.

We walked over to the tower which in its self was interesting. A tall, round building with an interesting shape and history.

But it wasn’t the tower we'd come to see so we made our way over to the beach.

It didn’t take long for us to get to the rocks (and these were proper rocks). With the wind and rain biting into our faces Ross took some pictures of the rocks and the surrounding area.

Despite the weather we were both impressed by this location. This will be great on a nice day.

Ok, so that was one location done. We next started to make our way to Walton On the Naze.

On our way there we spotted a sign for a park called Holland Haven Country Park.

Not much there really, a beach, a few trees and a car park. We took a few quick snaps and then carried on our way to Walton on the Naze.

By the time we got there the weather had got a little better (well it had stopped raining at least but was still cold :( ).

Walton on the Naze had most of what we where looking for, but no rocks that we could see though.

We walked along the promenade and near the pier olong the front of the sea wall we spotted a colourful wall with some columns. Again Ross took some shots.

On the other side of the pier there were also some beach huts and the sea wall - and some long stairs going all the way back up to the main road. All these might make interesting locations for the shoot.

Both Ross and I agreed that the first and last locations would work for what we wanted to do.

We’ve also been talking about when to do the shoot. We had been thinking of doing the shoot in March/April. But with the weather being the way it has been we are now thinking of putting it back to the summer or very late spring - end of May or maybe June, July ... maybe even September.

It’s going to be a case of keeping an eye on the weather and also when our couple are free.

Watch this space ....
