TIP #1 ChoosE the Perfect Attire: Dress Like the Best Version of You
What you wear plays a huge role in setting the tone for your engagement photos. Your outfit should reflect who you are as a couple while also being flattering and camera-ready. The goal is to strike a balance between looking put-together and feeling comfortable in your own skin. Think about what outfits make you feel confident and like the best version of yourself—those are usually the winners for photo sessions.
When selecting your attire, consider the style of shoot you’re aiming for. Are you envisioning something glamorous and elegant, or do you want something casual and cozy? Maybe a little bit of both? Here are some outfit suggestions based on different styles:
Classic Elegance:
FOR HER
For her: Opt for a flowing maxi dress or a fitted gown in soft pastels, neutrals, or monochromatic tones. These create a timeless and romantic look that photographs beautifully.
FOR HIM
A tailored blazer, button-up shirt, and well-fitted chinos or dress pants create a clean and sophisticated look. Leather shoes or loafers complete this polished vibe.
Casual & Cozy:
Think effortless comfort—jeans paired with a cozy knit sweater, a sundress with ankle boots, or casual separates like t-shirts and cardigans. Sneakers or casual loafers can complete this relaxed look, ensuring you stay comfortable during the shoot.
