WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION
You’re engaged, congrats! Here are few tips that will ensure you look your best! Now it’s time to plan your engagement session. First up, planning what you’ll wear. Here are my suggestions as a professional photographer, on what you should wear to your engagement session.
1. Stick to what makes you feel YOU
The more comfortable you are with your outfit, the more comfortable you’ll feel in front of the camera :). Stick with your “style” and what makes you feel beautiful and comfortable.
2. Complement, but don’t match
Stick away from matching your partner’s outfit and wearing patterns that are too busy. Keep colors of outfits solid. Complementing each other’s outfits works out best for portraits.
3. Wear earthy, dark, light, or neutral colors
Stick away from strong colors like neon and orange, pretty please?? those vibrant colors will reflect on your faces, and trust me, it doesn’t look good.
4. Add an accessory and or Bring a prop
Adding at least one accessory to your outfit can look really gorgeous in portraits. This could be as simple as a cute scarf or a necklace. A bottle of champagne, a blanket a sign, all great ideas to bring to your engagement session.
5. Stick with one or two outfits.
It’s important to remember to keep the engagement session from turning into a fashion session. Having to many outfits can take time away from the time actually photographing because you’ll feel rushed and stressed to jump into different outfits.
With one or two outfits you can be focused on the session to try out more locations and poses to best display your love and story with each other.
6. Go classic, not trendy
Choose outfits that will be timeless! The last thing you want is to look back at an engagement session years from now and be upset that you’re wearing something that is no longer in style. Go with a classic outfit you are comfortable in that will never go out of style.
7. Make use of the season!
Not sure what to wear for a winter or fall session? Don’t be afraid to bundle up in style!
Stylish winter and fall clothes and accessories can look amazing for your engagement session in the cold weather.
