HOW TO DRESS FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION
ONE OF THE MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS I RECEIVE FROM COUPLES REGARDING THEIR ENGAGEMENT SHOOT IS, “WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?” WELL I HAVE PUT TOGETHER A STYLE GUIDE FOR YOU IF NOW YOU FIND YOURSELF ASKING THAT SAME QUESTION!
FIRST OFF YOU WANT TO COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER, NOT MATCH. MATCHING CAN APPEAR CHEESY AND UNNATURAL. NEXT, WE HAVE TO CONSIDER LOCATION! WHERE ARE YOU TAKING PICTURES? ARE YOU IN THE CITY OR ARE YOU IN AN OPEN FIELD WITH MOUNTAIN VIEWS? WHAT IS THE VIBE YOU’RE GOING FOR? DO YOU WANT RELAXED, CLASSY, VINTAGE, BOHO, OR MODERN? I’LL GIVE YOU MY FAVORITE LOOKS FOR THESE DIFFERENT SETTINGS!
