engagement style guide
2022
AS A GUIDELINE...
Don't wear things with logos, unless it is an important part of your photos! This includes ball caps with teams or brands on it, shirts with the logo on the chest, etc.
Why?
It can make your outfit look cheap or less fancy, and can date the photos!
Wear accessories! Your outfit isn't complete without this!
For the Ladies
Necklaces, earrings, watches, rings, hats, scarves add dimension, class, and style!
For the Fellas
Watches, ties, and belts make your outfit look planned and put together!
Engagement sessions can be overwhelming when you don't know where to start. This guide will give you a base to style your outfit on, and some direction on what looks best in photos - from someone who has been taking engagement photos for over 8 years! Let's plan your dream engagement outfit!

First and foremost, the most important style tip I can give you is to wear something that you feel confident, comfortable, and happy in.
STYLE BASICS
Match your blacks and browns. If you're wearing black shoes, don't wear a brown belt, and vice versa!
This goes for you as a couple as well, if your partner is wearing all black accessories, don't wear brown!

Include at least one texture piece in your outfit! This can be rough denim, wispy fabric, buttons, linens, leather, etc.
Texture adds dynamic to your outfit and photographs amazingly! A white linen button up photographs way better than a basic white tee!
Your shoes matter! Tennis shoes are never a great idea unless they are new, clean, and an intentional style choice!
Any shoe with a heel and with texture (leather & suede are great!) is always a win! For the ladies - heels ALWAYS look best!
visual learner?
here are some real couples who killed the outfit game!

I would have loved for her to wear black shoes, so that the black and brown didnt clash!

The texture and pattern in her dress
He is matching his belt and shoesd
They are both wearing dress shoes
what works
The mis-matching tones actually work
in this case, because of the underlying neutral tones that make up her outfit!
I would love to see more accessories! A jacket, some jewelry, or even
a cute hat could go a long way here
HER DRESS!!! Texture, pattern, and flowy fun!
Texture in the suit
Cool toned color pallet
what works
These outfits are perfect, I wouldn't change a thing!
