Engagement Session Style Guide
Your engagement session is all about celebrating your connection — the laughter, the quiet moments, and the love that brought you here. What you wear can enhance the mood and help your photos feel timeless and true to you. This guide offers inspiration for every season, with color palettes, textures, and outfit ideas that photograph beautifully.
Choose pieces you know you’ll feel comfortable and confident in. It always shows in photos when someone feels good in what they’re wearing. If you feel like a rockstar in those blue jeans—go for it! Or if you have a jacket you absolutely love, let’s incorporate it.
I suggest selecting 3 (or 4) colors or tones that you both can work into your outfits. This creates a cohesive look and visually ties you together as a unit.
