What to wear for engagement photos
Pick colors, patterns & textures that are complementary together, and to you.
When choosing the colors that you and your partner will be wearing, think about the environment you will be in, and how you can stand out without clashing against your surroundings. Solid colors and simple patterns will help you stand out in your photos. Neon colors and loud patterns tend to distract from the subject. Choosing one of the elements listed above to be bold with, and then simplifying the other aspects of your chosen outfits can help you stand out and look put together. for example, pairing solid and muted colors with beautiful textures such as lace, ruffles or corduroy will cause you to look stunning, without your outfit being distracting. Avoid matching colors, and instead chose colors that complement each other.
Go for a classic look over what is trendy.
As time goes by, fashion trends can drastically change. You probably enjoy different aspects of what is in style now, but within a few years, you might look back and not like the past trends. It is a good idea to lean towards a classic look that will never go out of style. Photographs are taken so that you can look back at special moments in your life and remember who you were. You don’t want to look back at your engagement photos and not enjoy them because you don’t like what you looked like. To avoid that, find clothes that reflect you without being too distracting.
Wear what makes you feel like you.
As was stated before, you want to find clothes that reflect your personality and what you like. It is good to put thought into the garments you choose, but you don’t have to overthink it. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident in your outfit. If you feel most confident in loud patterns, colors, and textures, go for what will make you feel the best! You want to have a good time at your photoshoot to yield the best results! Try to keep in mind what photographs the best but, in the end, pick what makes you feel the best!
