Engagement Photo Outfit Tips from a nonbinary Photographer
Here are some engagement photo outfit tips! Other than some technical reasons take everything with a grain of salt and wear what makes you feel best! Which leads us into…
Tip #2 Wear something that fits like a dream!
The most important thing when picking out and outfit is how it fits. If you love a shirt, but it’s kinda bunchy that’s going to show on camera and look a little awkward. If you typically like a looser fitting shit then don’t wear a super tight fitting shirt to your session.
If you are in LOVE with a fit, but it’s not quite perfect fitting how you’d like it to. Getting it tailored is an amazing option or if your handy with a sewing machine, you could totally do it yourself! TBH I’m awful with a sewing machine so I usually have a friend help me out! We love a talented friend!
Tip #3 Avoid Stripes and Tight Prints
This is simply for no other reason than camera just don’t like it! Cameras have come a long way so if you have a striped piece that is PERFECT definitely reach out to your photographer to see what they think with their particular camera. But I usually just live by that rule of thumb. Another reason is it can be distracting. Don’t get me wrong I am all about patterns and color, but if you want the focus to be your love maybe… I hate to say it… but maybe something toned down it best. For me toned down is going to look a lot different than most, but your session should reflect you and you personality anyway!
Bonus tip!
If you’re taking pictures at the beach or near a body of what either wear clothes you can get wet in or bring a swimsuit. I am a HUGE fan of engagement photos in the water! This isn’t a must…. But also they are my favorite for a reason! Plus you can always change your mind and it doesn’t hurt to have options.
And after those tips if you’re still not certain of what to wear Pinterest is awesome for getting so inspiration and feel free to reach out to your photographer for any advice or specific questions!
