What to Wear to your Engagement Session
Happy Tuesday! This month is jam packed with engagement sessions on the blog, I figured why not through some engagement sessions tips up too! Typically for most couples, your engagement session is the first time you will be having professional photos captured with your partner. This also usually means you have never had to plan for anything like having photos taken before! One of the main questions I get asked when it comes to engagement session planning is what to wear. So today on the blog I am giving my top 5 tips on how to choose your engagement sessions outfits!

My 5 Best Tips for Choosing your Outfits
1) Coordinate
Coordinating your outfit doesn’t mean matchy matchy which you don’t want to do, but it means choosing colours that complement each other and patterns that go together. For example, try choosing a navy, burgundy and mustard colour combo for fall photos. It will compliment the scenery around you and they are all colours that photography nicely!
2) Dress to Match your Engagement Session Location
Are you having your engagement session on the beach, in the woods, downtown or a family farm? Try and put together an outfit that complements not only the location you choose but also the season! For example, if you choose to have your engagement session done on the beach in the middle of summer at sunset, maybe choose your favourite dress or summer outfit!
3) Choose an Outfit that is “YOU” and Makes you Feel Comfortable
You always want to choose something that not only shows who you are but something you also feel comfortable in! For example, do you always wear cute summer dresses then maybe choose your favourite for your session. Do you feel the most comfortable and beautiful in a cute flannel shirt and jeans wear that! You want to make sure that along with looking good you also feel good because you will look happier and more comfortable in your images!
4) Formality
Do you want to dress to the nines and wear a gorgeous floor length gown? Make sure that your fiance compliments that super dressed up look! Do you want to wear a cute dress that is a little more casual? Have your fiance compliment that with their favourite casual attire! There are plenty of options but make sure that you both dress to the same level of formality!
5) Make it Fun
Why not add cute accessories such as scarves or jewelry to add some more dimension to your outfit and your images! This also could be including some props that match your session as well, for example if you’re getting your images done on the beach you could include a cute blanket and maybe a picnic basket that compliments your outfit choice and location choice! Another example would be bringing a blanket or scarf that you can cozy up in for a fall or winter session!
