Not sure what to wear for your engagement photos? I’ve got you covered! Here are a few tips to help you coordinate outfits that will look amazing in your photos. Bringing two to three outfit options is ideal so we can get a nice variety of looks. Here’s what I recommend:
Dress It Up
This is the perfect time to go a little fancy! When do you and your partner get to dress up and have gorgeous photos taken? While you don’t have to go full black-tie (unless you want to!), think about something a little elevated—maybe a dress or skirt for you and slacks and a nice shirt for your partner. This outfit is fantastic for save-the-date cards or announcement photos.
Go Casual
Alongside a dressy option, bring a more laid-back look that feels natural and fun. Tailored jeans and a nice top are perfect, especially if we’ll be walking around outdoors. Just remember to bring shoes that match this outfit, too!
Coordinate, Don’t Match
The goal is to coordinate without being too matchy-matchy. Pick colors and styles that look great together. For example, if one of you wears jeans, it might feel mismatched if the other is in a suit. Also, keep the location in mind—neutral tones are great for rustic or natural settings, while bright colors can sometimes feel out of place.
What to Avoid
Logos – Unless it’s a sports-themed shoot with jerseys, skip the logos.
Patterns – Stick to solid colors or minimal patterns. A single plaid shirt is great, but avoid mixing multiple patterns like stripes with polka dots. One patterned piece at a time works best.
Fluorescent Colors – These can cast odd tones on your skin and don’t photograph well.
