Choosing outfits will determine how your photos look and feel. No pressure right?!?! I'm here to help. 

Your engagement photos should feel like a timeless reflection of your love — polished, romantic, and effortlessly you. Choosing the right outfits is key to achieving that editorial, magazine-worthy look. Use this guide to help you plan with confidence and style.

1. Choose Elevated Basics
Editorial doesn’t mean over-the-top, but it does mean elevated. Swap your everyday jeans for wide-leg trousers, a silk midi dress, or a modern suit set. Think: intentional, clean silhouettes.

2. Stick with Timeless Colors
Neutrals (white, beige, black, cream), muted tones (sage, blush, slate), or warm earth tones (terracotta, olive) keep the look classic. Avoid neons, busy logos, or clashing prints.

3. Play with Texture
Soft knits, velvet, tulle, linen, and silk all photograph beautifully. Texture adds depth and visual interest — perfect for that editorial feel.

4. Coordinate, Don’t Copy
Your outfits should look cohesive, not matching. Stick within a similar color palette or aesthetic. For example, if one of you wears something structured, the other might opt for soft, flowing fabric.

5. Fit & Movement Matter
Tailored outfits make you look sharp and confident. Dresses or skirts that flow naturally can bring gorgeous motion to your photos — especially in a breezy outdoor setting.

6. Minimal Accessories, Maximum Impact
Keep accessories intentional. A wide-brim hat, statement earrings, or classic heels can elevate a look, but avoid over-accessorizing to keep the vibe editorial and clean.
