What to Wear During an Engagement Session | Long Island Wedding Photographer
Outfit Considerations for your Engagement Session
One of the most important things you'll need to consider when planning your engagement session is what to wear. You want to look your best while also feeling comfortable, so it's important to choose the right outfit. Here are a few tips on what to wear during your session. With a little planning, you'll be sure to have amazing photos that capture your love and personality!
Choose a color palette that compliments your surroundings
Choosing a color palette that compliments your environment is one of the best ways to enhance your imagery. Do you want to contrast from your surroundings or compliment them? Wearing a yellow dress on the beach will definitely give a different look than muted blues or white.
Consider the season and location of your engagement session when choosing clothing
When planning your engagement session, it's important to take both the season and location into account when picking out your wardrobe. Opting for a sleeveless dress may look beautiful in springtime, but not so much if it's a chilly December day at the beach - you want to make sure both you and your fiancé are comfortable throughout the shoot. Consider doing a couple of outfit changes during the session according to where you go - layer up for outdoor spots and opt for something lighter indoors. Make sure each clothing choice fits the scenery while still showing off your individual personalities!
Coordinate Outfits, don't match outfits
Coordinating outfits can be much more stylish than simply matching them. You and your fiancé should look like you go together, but you shouldn't match. Try the mirror check: stand in front of a mirror together. If each of you think the other looks good, your outfits work!
Accessorize! But don't go overboard...
When it comes to making an outfit pop, accessories can be a great way to have fun. Don't shy away from a statement necklace, a scarf, a hat, etc. We won't use all of them at once, but accessories can dramatically change an image. Just make sure your accessories fit your style aesthetic. Ultimately, as long as you remember that less is more when it comes to accessorizing, you won’t go wrong.
Be sure to wear something you feel comfortable in
Wearing something that makes you feel comfortable can do wonders for your confidence and mental state. When you put on an outfit that brings out the best version of yourself, not only will you look great, but you will feel confident during your session.
Consider a casual and a formal outfit
When it comes to engagement session photos, couples should consider bringing an outfit change so they can get both a formal and casual look. Not only will this allow them to show off their individual style, but it also gives the opportunity for creating beautiful images that capture the couple’s love and personalities in a different way.
Clothing Fit
When planning your engagement session outfit, it's important to make sure that the clothes you choose fit well. Clothes that are too baggy will appear sloppy in photos and take away from the overall look of your images. On the other hand, form-fitting clothing can help enhance your silhouette and create a flattering effect on camera. It's best to opt for clothing that is neither too tight or too loose – just snug enough so it outlines your body shape without being overly constricting. You should feel confident from all angles - not just when you stand a certain way or from one side.
Picking the right outfit for your engagement session may seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be! By considering these suggestions, you will can gain the confidence needed for what may be your first formal images as an engaged couple. So go out there and choose a color palette, consider the season and location of your session, coordinate (don't match) your outfits, accessorize tastefully, wear something you feel comfortable in, consider the fit. You're sure to love the results!
