What to wear to your engagement shoot!

Engagement Shoot Waikato Tauranga Mount Maunganui

"What should I wear to my engagement shoot?', I hear you ask. Well, there are many options, and what you wear plays a significant role in your photos' overall feel and style. So please plan, and put some thought into it.

Rule of thumb

  • Stripes don't work.

  • Only one person should wear strong patterns.

  • No text, logos or branding.

Top tips

  • You can start with one outfit and build around that.

  • You can coordinate your accessories with your outfit. A simple hat added to the scene can completely change your look. It could add dimension, colour and/or style. Accessories are a fantastic way to change looks throughout your shoot without having a complete clothes change..

  • Please iron all your clothes.

  • Be mindful of your surroundings. For example, wear complementary colours to green if your photoshoot is in a green paddock/ field.

  • Less is usually more.

  • Your hands feature in your photos, so please have tidy nails for those detail shots. Coordinate colours.

Colour palettes

Colour palettes are the easiest way to plan your outfits. They make choosing your clothing so much quicker. Here are some that look awesome behind the lens. You can also search for colour palettes online and find your perfect match.

I will leave you with some photos of my awesome couples nailing their style. Happy planning and thank you for reading.
