Yay, you’re engaged! Now, it’s time to capture the excitement with a fabulous engagement shoot. To make the most of this special moment, I’ve got some fantastic tips and tricks on what to wear and how to prepare for your engagement photos. From wardrobe choices to props and accessories, I’ve got you covered so you can relax, be yourself, and enjoy every moment.
Be Yourself:
The key to stunning engagement photos? Being yourself! Forget about rigid dress codes and uncomfortable outfits. Embrace your personal style – red lipstick, casual wear, or whatever makes you feel fantastic. When you feel comfortable, that confidence will shine through in your photos.
Choose 2 Outfits:
Mix it up and add variety to your gallery by selecting two outfits – a laid-back “casual” ensemble and a chic “date night” outfit. This way, you can showcase different facets of your personalities, creating a diverse and dynamic collection of images.
Coordinating Outfits:
While you don’t want to look too matchy-matchy, coordinating colors and formality is crucial. Complimentary hues and styles will create a harmonious visual appeal. Stick to simplicity, avoid distracting patterns, and opt for timeless neutrals for a classic and elegant look.
Less is more! Avoid overly busy patterns or distracting colors. The focus should be on the genuine connection between you and your partner. Opt for simple, timeless outfits to ensure your photos stand the test of time.
Consider the Location & Season:
Dress appropriately for the setting and weather. Whether you’re on the beach in summer or a grassy meadow, comfort is key. Adjust your attire based on the season and location to ensure you not only look fabulous but also feel fantastic.
Props & Accessories:
Break the stereotype – props can be cool! From champagne bottles and blankets to your furry friend or favorite accessories, get creative!
Don’t Go Crazy on Pinterest:
While Pinterest is a great source of inspiration, don’t let it overwhelm you. Trust your photographer’s creative process and enjoy capturing real moments instead of trying to recreate poses from a board.
Get Ready to Have Fun:
Lastly, relax and have a blast! Forget about posing concerns –I am here to guide you. Consider the session a date with a third-wheel (Me!!), and let me capture the joy and love between you and your fiancé.
Be authentic, have fun, and let me handle the rest. Here’s to capturing all the sweet moments on this incredible journey toward your wedding day!
