"What to Wear" Fridays - Engaged | Maryland Lifestyle Photographer

Engagement Sessions are a great way to get photos for your wedding website, save-the-date cards, or a guest book. It is also about spending some time getting to know your photographer so that you are comfortable with me on your big day, one less thing to worry about right. You could also just want to take pictures to capture your sweet love : )

The question always comes up “What Should We Wear?” Clothing should compliment your look, not complicate it . An engagement session should depict your personality and your style. I can certainly give you a guide, but what you wear should reflect who “you” are. I recommend a casual and a more dressier outfit for your session.

• Wear something comfortable but a notch above your everyday look, think swag. This is important because if you spend the entire time of your session adjusting your blouse or shirt, then you become distracted and this takes away from your overall experience.

• Pay attention to the patterns and prints on your clothing. Loud patterns and prints go out of style, consider timeless classic styles that will carry through in your photographs for years to come.

• Your significant other should wear clothes on the same level as you. His attire doesn’t have to match but should be complimentary to your style and colors.

• Don’t forget the shoes. I guarantee you will be walking during your session.

Below are some ideas I drummed up, use it as a guide but the final decision is yours! I love sessions that are fun because your images will truly reflect your personalities and your relationship. Think about your session as date night, don’t forget to be yourselves, have fun, and bring your sillies : )
