Planning Your Engagement Session

What should we wear?

Clothing can make or break your final images because colors and style have a huge impact on how your photos turn out. I encourage couples to plan two outfits: one casual and one a bit dressier. This way, you can start the session having fun, being playful and relaxed, and then switch to a more romantic look.

For engagement sessions, especially on cloudy days, I love warm colors like rust, mustard, camel, and dusty rose. These can be paired with cool colors like teal or blue or with neutrals like cream, gray, or brown. Warm colors provide a lovely pop against a cloudy backdrop.

Tips

  • Avoid Running Shoes and Gym Shoes

  • See the barber before your shoot

  • If getting your nails done is your thing, get fresh nails

  • Get your ring cleaned
