What To Wear For Engagement Photos

YAY! YOUR ENGAGED! YOUR EXCITED, YOUR ENGAGED! THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING TIMES OF YOUR LIFE THIS FAR! IF YOU ARE LIKE ME YOU HAVE SEEN PEOPLE POSTING AND PINTERESTING PLANNING FOR THIS DAY TO COME. DREAMING OF THE DAY THAT YOU GET TO PLAN AND EXPERIENCE THIS! YOU FINALLY GET TO TAKE THE CUTE CUDDLY FUN ENGAGMENT PHOTOS WITH THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE! TAKE IT FROM ME WHO HAS MASTERED BEING THE 3RD WHEEL ON ENGAGMENT SHOOTS - IT IS A SUPER FUN TIME! I CAN’T SPEAK FOR OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS, BUT ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT IF YOU BOOKED ME, BE PREPARED, IT WILL BE A FUN TIME! :) WITH ALL OF THIS SAID THE ONE THING THAT YOU MIGHT BE WORRIED ABOUT IS “WHAT DO I WEAR?” YOUR THINKING THAT YOU WANT TO LOOK YOUR BEST IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA - DUH, WHO WOULDN’T! THIS IS THE PART WHEN PEOPLE START TO STRESS OUT - AND I’M TELLING YOU DON’T STRESS. PLANNING WHAT TO WEAR CAN BE OVERWHELMING, BUT I HAVE SOME TIPS ON WHAT TO WEAR TO HELP YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE AND TO HELP CREATE AWESOME IMAGES FOR YOU!

01. TYPICALY I TELL PEOPLE TO DO ONE DRESSIER LOOK AND ONE MORE CASUAL. SO YOU COULD DO A PRETTY FLORAL MAXI DRESS AND YOUR FIANCE COULD WEAR CAHKIS WITH A SOLID BUTTON DOWN. A CUTE CASUAL LOOK WOULD BE SOME DISTRESSED JEANS FOR YOU WITH AN OFF THE SHOULDERS SWEATER AND YOUR MAN IN A 3/4 HENLY STYLED SHIRT, OR A PLAIN T-SHIRT. DOING TWO DIFFERENT THIS WILL GIVE YOU A VARITEY OF LOOKS AND IMAGES FROM YOUR SESSION.

02. ACCESSORIES ARE KEY! A HAT, FUN SHOES, STATEMENT JEWLERY, A SCARF, OR A FUN JACKET/VEST CAN ADD SO MUCH TO YOUR PHOTOS. LAYERS AND ACCESSORIES GIVE YOUR PHOTOS TEXTURE AND DETAILS AND TRUST ME THIS WILL SHOW IN THE END RESULT.

03. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF PATTERN OR COLOR-JUST BE CAREFUL HOW YOU STYLE IT! IF YOUR FIANCE WANTS TO WEAR HIS FAVORITE PLAID BUTTON DOWN, I WOULD SUGGEST A SOLID SWEATER/DRESS FOR YOU! OR VISE VERSA! I WOULD RECOMMEND TO AVOID GRAPHIC T-SHIRTS OR ANYTHING WITH A LOGO. A SMALLLOGO ISN’T A HUGE DEAL, BUT SOMETHING THAT TAKES UP THE FRONT OF A SHIRT CAN BE VERY DISTRACTING IN YOUR FINAL IMAGES.

04. BE UNIQUE- THESE IMAGES WILL BE SEEN BY SO MANY AND WILL BE HUNG IN YOUR HOME! DONT BE AFRAID TO STEP OUTSIDE THE BOX. DO YOU HAVE THIS ONE OUTFIT YOU HAVE BEEN DYING TO WEAR, BUT JUST DONT HAVE THE RIGHT PLACE? NOW IS THE TIME! YOU REALLY CANNOT DO ANYTING WRONG WHEN CHOOSING OUTFITS-THERE ARE NO LIMITS! DON’T GET ME WRONG SIMPLE IS GOOD TOO, BUT SOMETHING UNIQIE AND BOLD WILL RESULT IN STATEMENT IMAGES FOR YOU!

05. OVERALL BE COMFORTABLE AND BE YOU! WE WILL BE MOVING AROUND AND BEING ACTIVE. SO YOU WILL WANT TO BE COMFORTABLE! FEELING COMFORTABE WITH YOUR OUTFIT WILL ALSO HELP YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA!

I LOVE CLOTHES AND FASHION- MAKING OUTFITS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS,SO IF YOU NEED HELP CHOOSING OR NEED AN OPINION, DONT BE SCARED TO REACH OUT TO ME (OR YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER) I PERSONALLY LOVE HELPING WITH THIS PROCESS! :)

XOXO,
