Engagement Session Tips and styles

Engagement photos are an important part of the whole wedding process. They can set the tone for the style/feel of your wedding, so you want your wardrobe to reflect that! Here are a couple of outfit ideas that I love, I’m obsessed with this color palette right now! Whatever clothing you choose for your engagement photos, here are a few tips to remember.

- Layer, layer, layer! Layering clothes creates texture and interest. You can layer with sweaters, vest, scarves, even jewelry.

- Don’t be twinkies. Although both you and your fiance’s clothes should compliment each other, don’t be too matchy matchy, it looks silly.

- Wear something you’re comfortable in. You don’t want to spend the entire time pulling and tugging at your clothes and you want to be able to move about easily. If you’re uncomfortable, it will show.

- I always recommend changing clothes at least once. Personally, I think doing 1 set that’s a little dressy and the other that’s more casual is a great idea.

- Darker colors are usually more slimming, but don’t be afraid to wear lighter colors, if it’s something you love!

- Don’t wear clothes with writing/brands on them, unless it’s something that you are wanting to highlight (college teams, hobbies, etc). They can be distracting and usually too casual.

- Wear patterns in moderation. You don’t want the pattern to be distracting, so go for subtle ones, unless of course, you want it to make a statement!

- On most shoots, we’re going to do some walking! So, if you’re going to wear those awesome new heels, bring a pair of flip flops or comfy shoes to change into while we’re getting from location to location.

- Don’t forget accessories. This goes back to the layering, jewelry, scarves, headbands, watches…make your outfits YOU!

- No matter what your clothing choices are, have fun!!
