Spring is just around the corner and I’m planning on venturing outside for lots and lots of engagement sessions very soon! Sometimes couples have a hard time choosing outfits for this special photo shoot, so I thought I’d share a few quick tips to help with selecting the best outfits for the season.
I encourage couples to wear more then one outfit. If you choose to have a casual option, than consider these ideas.
Pastel colors are always beautiful on camera. I like them because they tend to reflect light really well. For a casual look, wear some jeans and a top with some interesting details on it. Guys, look great in a dress shirt with a sweater or with rolled up sleeves.





Getting dressed up is always a good idea! Wearing a long and flowy dress is elegant and very flirty with a high split or a long train. If you plan on wearing a gown, consider wearing a striking primary color that stands out and really makes a statement. Blue, red, orange, or purple look amazing on camera and will stand out against any neutral backdrop.











You may be wearing white on your wedding day, but that doesn’t mean you can’t wear white at your engagement session! White signifies a lot of great things and you’re only a bride once. Wear a white dress with lace or with some interesting details on the sleeves. If you’re wearing white then your fiance should consider wearing a colorful suit to really make a statement!












Don’t be a afraid to be bold in your outfit choices this spring! In these photos, Alma and Ogonna show us how it’s done! They chose to have their engagement session in the Financial District which made the perfect backdrop for their classy and stylish engagement session. I hope it inspires you to celebrate your love in style!
