Many people struggle with what to wear for their portrait sessions, and I’m happy to help give suggestions, tips, and even discuss outfits beforehand. Here is a little visual help sheet on some things that always photograph well.
And one more inspiration board… I really love this one! If you share my love of downtown/urban photos, this is the perfect look. From gritty black and whites images to dramatic after-dark images to getting cozy in the wine bar, this is such a versatile look. Pair the dress with tights and boots, and grab a blazer for your guy.
A few more tips for what to wear:
- Don’t forget to layer – it helps you have a pulled together, chic appearance.
- Accessories really pull together an outfit. Don’t overdo it, but one statement piece of jewelry or a scarf can instantly create a cohesive look.
- Make sure your leathers match! From your belt to your shoes to your jacket or handbag, your leather NEEDS to match.
- Coordinate with your fiancé but don’t get too matchy-matchy. It’s helpful to keep color TONES in the same family… for example, jewel tones always look great together (turquoise, orange, dark purple), but pastels and bold colors don’t always mesh well.
- Shoes are important! Sneakers do NOT belong in an engagement session. Neither do white socks. Remember, your feet (and socks!) will show, so please dress them appropriately.
