OUTFIT GUIDE: WHAT TO WEAR FOR AN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT
OUTFIT IDEA: NEUTRAL PALETTE
When in doubt, opt for a neutral palette! Subdued tones, such as soft browns, muted oranges, delicate pastels, and earthy olive greens, will draw attention to your faces and the stunning Hawaiian backdrop. Your goal is to harmonize with the environment, creating a timeless and elegant aesthetic. A vibrant red dress on the beach, for instance, might compete with the natural beauty. Remember, your outfits should complement, not overshadow, the overall composition of your photographs.
OUTFIT IDEA: ELEVATED COMFORT
If you want to feel relaxed and effortless look for your shoot, your clothes matter! Prioritize pieces that allow you to move freely while maintaining an air of elegance. Squeezing into something tight or something that makes you feel self-conscious translates to tension, which can be evident in your photographs. Go for comfort and make sure it's something you can move around freely in!
OUTFIT IDEA: PERSONALIZED LUXURY
Your engagement photos should be a reflection of your unique style and taste. Incorporate pieces that resonate with your vibe and aesthetic! Whether it's a timeless classic or a contemporary trend, it’s best if your wardrobe aligns with your everyday elegance and style.
OUTFIT IDEA: COMPLEMENTARY & CHIC
Instead of matching, coordinate alternating colors or tones! I love complementary colors that create a sense of harmony and melt together instead of clash against each other.
OUTFIT TIP: PATTERNS
If you're drawn to patterns, try to limit them to one partner for a balanced and elevated feel! When done right, a subtle pattern can add depth and interest to your photographs. Remember your goal is to complement each other instead of individually stand out!
OUTFIT TIP: BRING AN OUTFIT CHANGE
Bring an outfit change! It allows us to capture two sides of your style by bringing a more elevated and chic outfit along with a laid-back comfy outfit. This allows for versatility in your photo album, so you have images that are true to you and your style.
LOCATION TIP:
Consider the location of your shoot when picking your outfits. For a beach setting, go for breezy, flowing fabrics and natural textures. For greenery and mountains, you can try soft pastels complimented with a deeper jewel tone. Let your outfits complement the natural beauty of your surroundings!
Lastly, remember that these are your photos and you can break all of the rules anytime. The goal is that these photos look like YOU!
