Engagement Portrait Photography West Yorkshire | Alison and Mark

          

Alison and Mark opted for a studio engagement portrait session ahead of their wedding at Nostell Priory in July.  One thing about taking pre-wedding photographs in the studio is it doesn't matter what the weather's doing outside!  We spent some time working through some different ideas starting with the more classical style portrait and ending the session with a few shots in a contemporary and relaxed style.  The second image is the one Alison and Mark chose.  This will be printed and after their wedding, framed with a signature mount which their guests will sign.  A lovely alternative to a guest book, a wedding pre-shoot and signature mount or signing board as they are sometimes called, is becoming very popular with couples and the pre-wedding shoot helps them to relax in front of the camera and have some fun.  Alison and Mark love our signature style artistic photographs and we can't wait to share their big day!

 

Engagement Portraits Yorkshire | Amanda and Matthew

                          

We recently met up with Amanda and Matthew to chat about their plans for their big day and their ideas for their photography.  They will marry in Great Ouseburn, York and celebrate afterwards at Syningthwaite Priory near Wetherby, both new venues for us.  It was lovely to meet the couple and check out both the church and their fabulous reception venue which is surrounded by open countryside - exactly what Amanda and Matthew were looking for as they both come from a farming background.  It was very, very windy on the day (is it really May?) but this didn't put the couple off having some photographs taken together.  As engagement photographers in Yorkshire, we know that a wedding pre-shoot is a great way to get to know each other better, explain how to pose but still look relaxed and just have some fun.  We all really enjoyed ourselves and we look forward to this amazing couple's wedding day in June.
