Alice & Sam in Islington

AN islington engagement shoot

The Franco–Belgian pre-wedding shoot of civil-chic dreams! Meet Alice and Sam, just popping out for a casual stroll around their neighbourhood, before their Islington Town Hall wedding. Yes, I’m 100 per cent sure they are this stylish all the time.

Of note: Sam’s shoes hurt a LOT, and this is why it’s a very good idea to wear your wedding shoes for your engagement shoot – you can wear them in a little bit, or at least find out what you’re in for when the day comes around and pack painkillers. (Alice’s super-duper-chic heels were apparently entirely comfortable.)

We don’t get to shoot as many pre-wedding portraits in London as we’d like to, because our British clients often opt to skip it. So it’s always a delight when our European neighbours are in town to show us how it’s done.
