At a glance:
Date: Saturday 19th December 2026, 7 am until midday
Price: £40 per person
Group size: up to 10
Level: easy to moderate
Getting there: leave your car at mine and travel with me (limited to 3 passengers), or make your own way to Felixstowe
This is a winter sunrise session built around the tide, not just the clock. At Cobbold Point, the sea defences are wonderfully photogenic, and when the water's pushed right up beneath them just as the winter sun rises over the sea, the conditions can be genuinely spectacular. We'll work the defences, the reflections and the building dawn colour as the light comes up, and if the tide's high enough on the day, there's a good chance we'll head on to take a look at Pin Mill too.
Who this is for
All levels are welcome; this is an easy, sociable morning session rather than a formal teaching workshop, with support and guidance on hand throughout. You'll want to be reasonably steady on your feet though, more on that below.
Where we'll go
We're based at Cobbold Point in Felixstowe, working the sea defences as the tide pushes in and the winter sun comes up. Because the whole session is timed around the tide rather than a fixed clock time, the exact meeting time is confirmed once you've booked, so we catch the water at its best. If conditions and the tide allow, we may also head over to Pin Mill afterwards for a bit of variety.
The session
We run from around 7 am until midday, a focused morning session rather than a full day out, so there's no need to clear your whole Saturday. Exact start time depends on the tide and will be confirmed on booking.
Getting there
Felixstowe's a little further afield than my usual Norfolk coast locations, so it's worth planning your morning around that. You're welcome to leave your car at mine and travel with me for the session (limited to 3 passengers), which takes the stress out of an early, unfamiliar drive; just bear in mind it does add some extra travel time to the round trip given the distance. If you'd rather drive straight to Felixstowe yourself and meet us there, that's absolutely fine too.
What's included
Guidance and support throughout the session from me
A relaxed, sociable winter sunrise with fellow photographers
What's not included
Travel to, during and from the session; food and drinks; car parking costs; and your own camera, personal accident, travel or vehicle breakdown insurance.
A bit about me
I'm a full-time landscape photographer based in Norfolk, with a BA and a Master's degree in photography, and I've been running workshops since 2013. I'm a proud ambassador for five photography brands, I've won and been shortlisted for several awards, and my images have featured in publications and exhibitions. I'm a firm believer in quality over quantity, so we take our time and focus on coming away with a handful of images you're genuinely proud of.
What about the weather, and the classic shot?
Wrap up warm; December mornings on the coast are cold, and we'll be out chasing that winter light regardless. Worth knowing before you book: the classic shot everyone comes for involves climbing up onto the sea wall, so you'll want to be sure-footed and comfortable with that. We'll always put safety first, but it's a genuine part of the experience here.
Fitness & what to expect
Easy to moderate, expect walking on the beach and around the sea defences, plus that climb up onto the sea wall for the classic angle.
