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!

CHILLING AT HOME

most importantly when choosing your outfits for your engagement shoot you want to wear what you will feel most confident in and best showcases who you are. This guide is not a rule! i’m just here to offer suggestions and advice, but at the end of the day you know your style better than anyone! I hope this helped! if you have any other styling questions leading up to your session don’t hesitate to reach out and ask questions, I’m here to help!
