So the most common question is “What should we wear?”
Clothing choices can really hinder or help you when it comes to your session. I think it’s best to keep it simple, light natural colours work best. You want your clothing to compliment each other without matching. As a guide, choose three colours (e.g. brown, white and blue) and mix and match. For example, you could wear a flowing white dress with a denim jacket, your partner wear brown shorts and a blue shirt. Things to avoid are t-shirts with big logos and also loud/busy prints, both of these can be very distracting. Avoid the “Everyone in blue denim + white top” ….let’s leave that look in the 2000’s.
We can get adventurous when needed. Locations are often on sand and in the bush and we move about a lot , so heels aren’t what I think of in these scenarios. Flat comfortable shoes or barefoot for the beach are your best options.
Something else to consider is hair and makeup for the shoot. This would be a good time to give the MUA you have booked for the wedding a trial run. I don’t recommend a hair trial as it can seem a bit over done without a wedding dress, plus, it’s nice to have your engagement shoots looking different to your wedding ones.
