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!
