So, you’re prepping for your engagement photo session—exciting stuff! First off, congrats on the engagement! Now, let’s tackle one of the most common questions I hear from couples: “What should we wear for our photos?” Choosing the right outfit might feel like a big deal, but don’t worry. I’m here to help make it easy and straightforward so you look and feel awesome during your shoot! Keep on scrolling for more.
1. Stay True to You
First things first: be yourselves. Your engagement photos should reflect who you are, just dressed up a bit. If you’re usually in jeans and a shirt, opt for a nice new pair and a sharp shirt. If dresses are more your thing, find one that flatters and feels great.
2. Coordinate Instead of Match
Skip the matching outfits and aim for coordination instead. Think complementary colors rather than identical shades. If you’re in a floral dress with blues and pinks, your partner could wear a solid color that highlights those hues. This way, you’ll look like a cohesive pair without being identical.
3. Factor in the Location and Season
Consider where and when your shoot will take place. Beach shoots pair well with lighter, flowing clothes, while city settings might call for something a bit more structured. And don’t forget about the season—light, bright clothes for spring/summer and deeper tones for fall/winter. Layers are perfect for adding depth and staying warm in cooler weather.
4. Comfort Equals Confidence
Your photoshoot should be fun, with lots of laughter and natural moments. Choose clothing you’re comfortable in so you’re not constantly adjusting or fidgeting. When you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows.
5. Keep It Classic
While trends can be fun, sticking with classic styles ensures your photos stand the test of time. Think timeless over trendy. You want to reflect on these photos years from now with fondness, not a “What was I thinking?” moment.
6. Accessories
Accessories can add a nice touch to your look. Opt for a statement piece rather than lots of bling. The focus should always be on your connection, not your jewelry.
7. Footwear
Your shoes will be visible, so choose wisely. You’ll want something that fits the setting and is comfortable to wear. If you’ll be on grassy fields or sandy shores, consider shoes that are easy to move in.
Ultimately, your engagement session should be an enjoyable experience. Be yourselves, have fun, and let your photographer capture the genuine moments. If your outfits reflect your personalities and you feel at ease, you’re all set for amazing photos.
