To complete this beautiful wedding keepsake described in Option Two and Option Two With an Album

………………. A series of pictures is taken of you and your Fiancée’.  The pictures may be taken in the studio, or another location of your choosing. The portraits may be taken with romantic moods in mind or of you both just having fun being together.

You then review the proofs and select your favorite to be reprinted to an 11x14.  The reprint is mounted onto an acid free 20x24 foam core board.  A matte is then hand cut to include a “V groove” by a skilled Framing Consultant at Lebanon Picture Frames and Fine Art Gallery, in Lebanon.*

We will then help you choose a beautiful 20x24 wooden frame to compliment your home décor or one that will match your wedding theme.  This is all assembled and repacked for delivery to the wedding or reception hall.  Two pens for signing the matte will be provided by the studio. 

You are also welcome to borrow the specially designed easel shown in the picture.  This easel is made to securely clamp the picture frame in place.  When your guests sign the matte there is no danger of the picture and frame falling off the Easel.

Your guests, friends and relatives are reminded by your DJ or band spokesperson to sign the matted area.  They may write good wishes, greetings, prayers or just sign their names.

In some cases the signature matte is used in place of the Guest Book at the wedding site.  Others simply use the signature matte as an added attraction at the reception.

The Signature Matte is yours to keep forever.  You may bring it back to the studio if you would like a protective glass inserted in front of the picture.  However there is an additional cost for this service.

 Please allow four to six weeks for the picture processing and frame assembly

……… are similar to the Signature Matte.  It too is a beautiful wedding keepsake created by Tim McGowan Studio.  It could be included with our wedding Option Three on our price list or as a special addition to Option One and Two.

            After your engagement pictures have been taken we set an appointment with you to select one  of our beautiful Library Bound Albums from the Renaissance Collection.  We help you design the album, from the color and style of the cover, to the  capacity and matte design of the page inserts.

            You select the best pictures  to insert into the specially designed page mattes.  Your family, friends and guests will sign these pages throughout the album.  Only a few pages are used for this keepsake, based again on the attendance at the wedding. The remaining pages are left empty for you to fill with wedding reprints and enlargements.

            Some suggestions to fill these pages are to have parent’s wedding pictures inserted into the album for the respective families to sign, and the other guests and  wedding party would sign the rest of the pages.

Two pens will be included with the album. You select the ink colors.  They range from gold, silver, black, white and some pastel colors.

            When you are ready to order your wedding reprints and enlargements we will help you design the remaining pages for the album.

            The completed album will be an important wedding story to enjoy for many generations to come!
