Engagement Photo Outfit Tips

You just got engaged and booked your photographer for your engagement photos and now your wondering what the heck do I wear? Your engagement photo outfit can make or break your photos….so here are some tips!

Top 10 Tips

1. Consider the Location: When deciding what to wear for your engagement photos, it’s important to consider the location of the photos. If it’s a beach or outdoor setting, you may want to opt for a flowy maxi dress, whereas if it’s in a fancy restaurant, you may want to consider a more formal dress. If your doing an at home session, maybe casual clothes. If you have more than one location, it is the perfect time to change the outfit so you get more variety like this engagement session I did in 30A. Click here!
2. Dress for the Weather: Make sure to choose an outfit that is appropriate for the season. If it’s summer, choose light and airy fabrics like cotton or linen. If it’s winter, consider wearing a sweater or dress in a warm material like wool. You want to be comfortable throughout your shoot!
3. Keep it Comfortable: While you want to look your best in your engagement photos, it’s important to remember that you’ll be wearing your outfit for a little while. Make sure to choose something that is comfortable and easy to move around in.
4. Accessorize with Jewelry: Adding a statement piece of jewelry, such as a necklace or earrings, can take your engagement photo outfit to the next level. Just be careful not to go overboard and choose pieces that complement your outfit.
5. Consider the Colors: When choosing your outfit, consider the colors that will complement your skin tone and hair color. Additionally, make sure to choose colors that match your fiancé’s outfit. You also want to stand out from the backdrop. Wear a color that pops!
6. Coordinate with Your Partner: While you don’t need to match your partner’s outfit exactly (please no matchy matchy), it’s important to coordinate so that your outfits complement each other.
7. Choose the Right Shoes: Your shoes are an important part of your outfit and can make or break your look. Choose shoes that are comfortable and appropriate for the occasion. If your at the bech, completely ditch the shoes.
8. Don’t Forget About Hair and Makeup: Your hair and makeup should complement your outfit and make you feel beautiful. Consider hiring a professional stylist to help you achieve the perfect look.
9. Stick to Your Personal Style: While it’s important to look your best, don’t forget to stay true to your personal style. Choose an outfit that you feel comfortable and confident in.
10. Have Fun: Your engagement photos are a special occasion, so don’t forget to have fun and enjoy the moment! Wear an outfit that makes you feel beautiful and confident, and focus on enjoying the celebration with your loved ones.

Don’t feel like you have to buy a whole new outfit but it is fun for the occasion. Some of my favorite stores are Free People, Anthropologie, and Revolve for the ladies. And for the guys, try Express or H&M.
