Engagement photos are a blast – a chance to celebrate your love story and snag some amazing pictures to cherish forever. But between location scouting and Pinterest stalking, those outfit choices can start to feel overwhelming. Don’t fret! As your friendly wedding photographer, I’m here to share some seasonal style tips to help you find the perfect outfits for your engagement shoot.
Spring Fling
Springtime is all about fresh starts and blooming love (cue the cheesy grin!). Think light and airy fabrics – flowy dresses in pastel colors, crisp cotton shirts, and khakis. Don’t be afraid to add pops of color with a floral scarf or a brightly patterned tie. And bonus points for incorporating springtime elements like blooming cherry blossoms or a vibrant meadow backdrop.
Summer Lovin’
Summer is all about embracing the sunshine and keeping things casual. For her, think sundresses, maxi dresses, or cute rompers. For him, chinos, rolled-up sleeves, and a light jacket (optional) are perfect. Coordinate colors without being matchy-matchy – think complementary tones or a fun pattern that ties your outfits together. Beachside shoots? Don’t forget those sandals!
Autumn Hues
Fall is a photographer’s dream, with its gorgeous foliage and warm color palette. For her, a cozy sweater dress, a long scarf, or a stylish jacket layered over a flowy skirt creates a romantic vibe. For him, a sweater and jeans or a button-down shirt with chinos are classic choices. Embrace the fall theme with rich jewel tones like emerald green, burgundy, or burnt orange. And a playful scarf or a cozy beanie can add a touch of seasonal charm.
Winter Wonderland
Winter might seem tricky, but it can be a time for some truly magical engagement photos. For her, a chunky knit sweater, a long coat, or a festive scarf adds warmth and style. For him, a sweater and a peacoat are perfect. Don’t be afraid to layer – it’ll keep you warm and can create visual interest in the photos. Think cozy winter whites, deep grays, or even a pop of red for a festive touch. Bonus tip: snuggling up with a warm blanket for a photo is always a winner!
Remember, the most important thing is to choose outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable! It shows in the photos. Don’t be afraid to add a personal touch with a piece of jewelry that holds meaning or a prop that reflects your hobbies. And most importantly, have fun with it! These photos are a celebration of your love, so relax, enjoy each other’s company, and let your love story shine through.
Now go forth and rock those engagement outfits! I can’t wait to capture your amazing love story.
