Choosing the Right Outfit for Your Engagement Session

When it comes to engagement sessions, your outfit really matters. It can set the tone for the shoot and impact the overall look of the photos. Here are a few tips on what to avoid when picking out your outfits.

For the popular “light & airy” style, make sure to wear pastels or neutrals! A bright outfit can completely ruin the light & airy look to an image.

First off, avoid anything with busy patterns, words, or logos. These can be distracting and take away from the focus on you and your partner. Instead, opt for solid colors that complement each other.

Also, consider the color pallet you want to use. Neutral colors such as white, beige, and gray are always a good choice, as they tend to compliment most skin tones and backgrounds. Bright colors can also be used, but be careful not to clash or overpower your partner's outfit. Black is best for dressy & formal outfits.

Speaking of formal outfits, it's important to dress for the venue. If you're having your session at a park, wear something that fits the casual outdoor atmosphere. For more formal settings, like a cityscape or historic site, choose attire that is more sophisticated & classy. If you are doing two outfits for your session, it’s a good idea to choose a casual outfit and another dressy outfit to switch into later.

Lastly, make sure that you and your partner coordinate, without being too matchy-matchy. This can be achieved by sticking to a color scheme or choosing pieces that compliment each other.

For a dramatic styled session, choose an outfit with a bold color!

While it may be tempting to wear something trendy or eye-catching, remember that these photos are meant to capture the love and connection between you and your partner. So keep it simple, timeless, and focused on you and your relationship.

Overall, engagement sessions are a great opportunity to showcase your personalities and style as a couple. As long as you feel good in what you’re wearing and follow the tips above, you'll be sure to look your best and create lasting memories that you'll cherish for years to come.
