Wardrobe and Styling Advice
Your choice of Wardrobe and styling play a significant role in creating beautiful photos that truly capture your essence. I'd love to dive into the world of fashion and provide guidance on coordinating outfits, dressing comfortably, accessorising thoughtfully, and why wearing whites, blacks, and neutral tones in a casually dressed style can elevate your engagement photos.Coordinating Outfits:
Coordinating your outfits doesn't mean wearing identical clothes, but rather choosing complementary styles and colours that harmonise with each other.
Here's how to do it effectively:
Colour Harmony: Opt for a colour palette that compliments each other and the surroundings of your chosen location. Whites, blacks, and neutral tones work exceptionally well, as they create a timeless and elegant look.
Avoid Clashing Patterns: Aim not to wear busy patterns and logos that can distract from your connection in the photos. Instead, choose solid colours or subtle patterns that won't overpower and distract from your emotion in the images!
Consider Your Location: Think about where your engagement shoot will take place. If it's a natural setting, earthy tones like olive green, beige, or soft blues can blend beautifully with the environment. If it’s an urban ‘city like’ location, clean whites and blacks with compliment the natural tones of an urban location.
My only suggestion is, to wearing a buttoned-up dress shirt instead of a plain T-shirt. It can bring an elegant touch to your outfit, especially for these photos that will be cherished forever :)
Selecting a Meaningful Location:
Comfort is key during your engagement shoot, as it allows you to relax and be yourselves.Here's how to ensure comfort:
Choose Breathable Fabrics: Depending on the weather and location, select fabrics that allow you to move comfortably. Light and breathable materials are ideal for warm weather, while layered options work well for cooler climates.
Wear Well-Fitting Clothes: Ensure your outfits fit properly and are comfortable to move in. Avoid clothes that are too tight or restrictive as they may look uncomfortable in your engagement photos.
Footwear Matters: If your location involves walking or uneven terrain, wear comfortable shoes or bring a pair of comfortable walking shoes and change into your chosen footwear for the shoot!
Accessorise Thoughtfully:
Accessories can add a personal touch to your outfits and enhance your overall look:
Jewellery: Keep it simple and tasteful. Statement pieces may be distracting, so opt for subtle, meaningful jewellery that complements your what you’re wearing. Sometimes less is more!
Scarves and Shawls: These can be stylish additions, especially if the weather is a bit chilly. Choose colours that match your outfit's palette.
Hats and Headpieces: If they reflect your style and personality, hats or headpieces can be great additions to your outfits! Choose colours that match your outfit's palette.
Whites, Blacks, and Neutral Tones:
Wearing whites, blacks, and neutral tones in a casually dressed style can create timeless and effortlessly chic engagement photos:
Elegance: These colours exude elegance and simplicity, allowing the focus to remain on you and the captured moments rather than flashy attire which may seem distracting.
Versatility: Neutral tones are incredibly versatile and can adapt to various settings, making them suitable for both urban and natural environments!
Timelessness: These colours never go out of style, ensuring that your engagement photos remain timeless and won't look dated in years to come.
