What you wear sets the tone for your engagement session, but it shouldn’t feel like a source of stress. The goal is simple: to look like yourselves, feel comfortable, and allow the focus to stay where it belongs – on the connection you share. These guidelines are designed to help you choose outfits that feel natural, polished, chic, and effortless.
1) WEAR CLOTHES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
The most important consideration is comfort and authenticity. Choose pieces that feel true to who you are, just slightly elevated. When you feel at ease in what you’re wearing, it shows in the way you move, interact, and connect.
2) COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER, BUT DON’T MATCH
Rather than matching exactly, aim for harmony. Complementary colors, varied textures, and subtle contrast photograph beautifully and create visual depth without feeling overly styled.
3) KEEP COLORS AND PATTERNS TIMELESS
Neutral tones, soft pastels, and rich, muted colors tend to age well and allow the focus to remain on you. If you choose patterns, keep them understated – think classic plaids, fine stripes, or gentle textures.
4) ELEVATE YOUR LOOKS
If time allows, a second outfit can offer a different feel – one relaxed, one more refined. This is entirely optional, but it’s a lovely way to add dimension to your gallery.
