Your engagement is a magical time! Now it's time to capture those memories with a stunning photoshoot. But what on earth should you wear? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here's your guide to choosing outfits that will make your photos truly shine.

1. Comfort is Key


Move with Ease: You'll be posing, maybe even dancing, so choose clothes that let you move freely. Avoid anything too tight or restrictive.

Fabric Matters: Natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and silk drape beautifully and feel comfortable on the skin.

Shoes You Can Walk In: You might be exploring different locations, so comfortable shoes are a must. Consider wedges, flats, or even cute sneakers if your style allows.

2. Style That Speaks to You:


Reflect Your Love Story: Do you love to hike? Dress in casual outfits that reflect your adventurous spirit. Are you a glamorous couple? Opt for elegant gowns and sharp suits.

Coordinate, Don't Match: Matching outfits can look a bit dated. Instead, coordinate your colors and styles. For example, if she wears a flowy floral dress, he could wear a button-down shirt in a complementary color.

Accessorize Wisely: Simple jewelry can add a touch of sparkle. Consider delicate necklaces, bracelets, or statement earrings.

Don't forget your hands! You don't need to have a full manicure done, but taking a moment to clean up nails and put on good lotion will make a big difference in the photos. If we are taking engagement photos, this is even more important since we will be taking close up photos of the ring, meaning your hands will be front and center. 

Simplicity is always best, so when in doubt keep in mind that “less is more.”

3. Color Palette:


Choose Colors That Compliment You: Think about what colors look best on both of you.

Consider the Season: Soft pastels work beautifully in spring, while rich jewel tones are perfect for fall.

Don't Overdo It: Stick to a limited color palette for a cohesive look.

Avoid patterns and stripes unless it's thematic (like flannel in Holiday photos). Always avoid logos.

4. Bring Options:


Pack a Variety: Bring a couple of different outfit options to give you flexibility.

Consider a Change of Clothes: If you'll be shooting in multiple locations, a change of clothes can help you achieve a more diverse look.

5. Most Importantly: Relax and Have Fun!


Your engagement photos should capture the joy and excitement of this special time. So relax, smile, and enjoy the process!
