What to Wear for Your Engagement Session: A Complete Guide

Your engagement session is the perfect opportunity to celebrate your love story and create timeless memories. Choosing the right outfits is key to making your photos shine and ensuring you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Here’s a few tips to help you decide what to wear for your session!

1. Coordinate, Don’t Match

Clothing: Opt for outfits that complement each other without being too “matchy-matchy.” Start with a color palette that reflects your personalities or the season. Soft pastels, earthy neutrals, or jewel tones are excellent choices for versatile and elegant looks.

2. Dress for the Location

Are we shooting on a beach, in a lush park, or downtown?

• Beach: Flowing maxi dresses, linen shirts, and bare feet or sandals work beautifully.

• Park: Flowy dresses, khakis, and casual button-ups blend seamlessly with nature.

• Downtown: A chic cocktail dress and a sharp blazer create a modern, sophisticated vibe.

3. Comfort is Key

Lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or chiffon are your best friends for outdoor settings. Avoid heavy materials that might make you uncomfortable.

4. Layers and Accessories

Adding layers or accessories can elevate your look. A denim jacket, a wide-brimmed hat, or statement jewelry can add personality and texture to your photos. Just keep it balanced—don’t overdo it.

5. Avoid Bold Patterns and Logos

While a pop of pattern can be fun, avoid anything too bold or distracting, like large logos or busy prints. Solid colors and subtle patterns photograph better and keep the focus on you.

6. Think About Movement

Clothing with movement, like dresses with flowy skirts, adds a romantic touch to your photos. Imagine the breeze catching your outfit—it’s magical!

7. Hair and Makeup

Consider professional hair and makeup. A polished look will enhance your confidence and ensure you look your best on camera.

8. Bring a Backup Outfit

If you’re unsure about one look, bring a second option. Changing outfits adds variety to your session, allowing us to capture multiple vibes.

9. Stay True to You

Ultimately, your engagement session should reflect your unique style and connection as a couple. Choose outfits that make you feel like the best version of yourselves.
