Whether you are a bride or groom, one of the most important decisions you will make is what to wear for engagement photos. When planning your engagement portraits, choosing outfits that fit your personality will ensure you get the best results! Here are a few tips from Noreen Owens Photography for putting together an outfit that will make you look your best in front of the camera.

What's Your Style?

What to wear for your engagement photos is a very personal decision - it's about representing you and your partner's style as a couple. Some couples coordinate their outfits, while others prefer to keep things casual. If you're stuck on what to wear, start by thinking about what colors you are drawn to and what will compliment your outfits well.

Shop at your favorite stores or browse online for inspiration. Once you know what you're looking for, it will be easier to find the perfect outfit for your engagement photos.

Is It Comfortable?

When choosing what to wear for your engagement photos, remember that it's important to look natural and comfortable. Avoid anything too tight or constricting - you want to be able to relax and enjoy your photo session as well as display a flattering silhouette.

The right outfit will make you feel confident and comfortable so you can focus on what's important - enjoying your time with your spouse-to-be!

How Will You Accessorize?

Accessories can be a great way to add personality to an outfit, so don't be afraid to add a scarf or some jewelry to your engagement photo outfit. Ensure that the accessories complement your overall look and don't overpower them.

While you want your outfit to be flattering, choosing colors that will look good in your photos is also essential. You can wear clothing that makes you stand out from your background or you can go for a timeless, beautiful look and wear the colors that are in your background.

Wear Something You Love

Perhaps the most important tip of all: make sure you wear something that you love! Your engagement photos reflect who you are as a couple, from your poses and expressions to your background and outfits. And if you feel happy about what you're wearing, it will show!

Bring Your Furry Family Members

If you have any beloved pets, consider bringing them along for your engagement photos - after all, they are part of your new family! They can add a fun and unique element to your photos, and they'll be sure to make you smile one day when you look back at your engagement photos.

Need Some Inspiration?

The best way to get ideas for what to wear for your engagement photos is to look at what other couples have worn. Check out magazines, wedding blogs, and Pinterest for some inspiration. You can also check out our gallery for some ideas from other couples we've worked with.
