Will & Niki: Beach Family Photoshoot 

This first photograph is from 2012, during the calm of the bridal preparations. Later that day, Will and Niki married at the beautiful Layer Marney Tower.

Fast forward to 2018, and Will, Niki, and their two small daughters made the trip down from Manchester to visit Layer Marney Tower for their anniversary. They kindly invited me along to capture their special visit.

And then, in the summer of 2023, we reunited once more with their youngest son joining the family. I had the joy of photographing these precious moments of their childhood as they played on the beach at Frinton-on-Sea in warm August sunshine.
