Couple Photo Outfit Ideas
Choosing the Perfect Attire for Your Engagement Photos
Planning your engagement photo shoot and wondering what to wear? The photos from your engagement session will be on your save-the-dates, wedding website, and home decor, so it’s important to select outfits that reflect your unique style and personalities. Here are a few couple photo outfit ideas for your session.
Dress to Feel Like Yourself
Dressing up for your engagement photos shouldn’t mean straying too far from your authentic style. You know what you love and look the best in and we suggest wearing what you feel comfortable it. If you wear something too far out of your comfort level you can look uncomfortable in your photos. Be you and we’ll take care of the rest.
Coordinate, Don't Match
While it’s essential to complement your partner’s attire, identical outfits or busy patterns can be distracting. Think about complementary colors and avoid conflicting patterns. Solid colors are generally best but it’s ok for one of you to have a pattern. Just try to stay away from patterns that are too busy, the focus should be on you.
Be Similarly Styled at the Same Time
You don’t want to be overly matchy-matchy but try to be styled the same at the same time. It can look a little strange if one of you is super dressy and the other is too casual.
Accessorize Smartly
Accessories can elevate your engagement outfits and add visual interest to your photos. Extra touches can enhance the visual appeal of your outfit but don’t over accessorize. You want the attention to be on the two of you.
Two Outfits Are Typically Enough
