So, you’ve finally booked your engagement session and now it’s time to start thinking about what to wear. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! As a photographer, I’ve seen it all and I’m here to share some tips and advice on what outfits work best for engagement photos.
Firstly, let’s talk about the vibe you’re going for. Are you both super casual and down-to-earth? Or do you prefer a more elegant and dressy look? Knowing your style will help set the tone for your session and ensure that your outfits complement each other. If you’re going for a casual and laid back look, consider wearing jeans and neutral colors that compliment each other. Think less is more, YOU want to be the focus of the photos, not what you’re wearing! For those who prefer a more sophisticated and dressy look, a flowy maxi dress or a tailored suit will do the trick. Don’t be afraid to experiment with texture and different fabrics to add depth to your outfits.
Another important aspect to consider is coordinating your outfits without being too matchy-matchy. Choose a color palette or a theme and select outfits that fall within that range. Think complementary colors or shades that work well together. This will make your photos visually appealing and create a cohesive feel.
Remember to consider the location and season of your engagement session. If you’re shooting on the beach during summer, lighter and breezier outfits will be perfect. For a fall session in a park, warmer tones and layers will give a cozy and romantic feel. The key is to dress appropriately for the surroundings and weather, so you can fully enjoy your session without feeling uncomfortable. Comfort is key!!
Lastly, don’t forget to put your own personalities into your outfits. Wear clothes that make you feel confident and reflect who you are as a couple. Remember, these photos are a celebration of your love, so let that shine through! I hope these tips help you in choosing what to wear for your engagement session. Just remember to be yourselves, have fun, and let the love between you two take center stage. I can’t wait to capture all those special moments for you!
