I wrote a blog post a few days ago about why engagement sessions are a great idea, you can check that post out here located on my wedding tips category page.
I get asked all the time what should I wear to my engagement session. I think we all struggle with this one including myself because we want things to be perfect. This is such a special time in our life and we want to preserve it well.
I love when couples choose a color palette for their pictures. By doing this you are not only creating dimension in your photos but your giving life a personality to them as well. I truly believe choosing something that really reflects colors that you love are key here. Check out my Pinterest page for some great examples of color palettes here!
I am not going to lie here… I really hate the khakis and white shirt, denim phase (please don’t hate me because I said that 😉 ). I will say I have seen it done beautifully and it worked… but in most cases I feel like you get lost in the picture when you match that closely.
I also feel like your personalities really show when you wear things that coordinate and not match. This makes you have an identity in the picture and your important. It’s also more realistic because I know you two don’t run around town together wearing your white polo’s and jeans 😉 .
I have a real obsession with shoes! I think every woman does. I noticed the other day that I have more than 8 boots varying in tall, short, and booties… I’m thinking I might have a little problem 😉 . A lot of people don’t really think about shoes when they are being photographed… yes the main focus is you of course. There are sometimes that photographers get pictures of you walking or standing and your shoes will be in the pictures.
I recommend more neutral shoes for guys because some tennis shoes are super bright and they are going to be noticed! For the ladies I think we can totally get away with some cute heels that have a pop of color (that also can tie into the color palette mentioned above).
Happy Wedding planning 🙂
