What should I wear for my Seattle Engagement session?
You have picked the date, you have picked the location, now comes the inevitable question, what to wear?
It has been my experience that you engagement photos should be timeless. This is best achieved with a classic look that will look good for years in lieu of more trendy clothing selections. If you have multiple clothing changes planned, they should compliment each other (but don’t match). Keep colors from the same family - soft and muted tones are best. Avoid bold patterns and bright colors.
Have at least two outfit choices - one casual and one on the dressier side. Don’t have anything dressy? You can try something like “rent the runway” and get a fun cocktail dress. A nicely tailored suit is perfect to accompany a beautiful dress. However, remember to bring comfortable shoes for the walk between shooting locations.
Remember to accessorize with beautiful jewelry, lovely scarves, and great shoes.
Your engagement photos can also be a great time for you to do a trial run of the makeup you plan for your wedding.
Choosing a Location.
Visualize your location and consider the time of year you are taking your engagement pictures. Will you be at a beach, or in a forest, perhaps you love the unban look and want to be downtown. Maybe you love your time cozy in your home and want a more life style type of session? Your clothing should compliment the environment.
Finally, your engagement session is about you and your love story. Invest time to personalize the experience. Choose locations and incorporate elements things that will show off your personality and your love story!
