So I get asked this question a lot. a lot.

What do I wear to our Engagement/Love Session?


The possibilities are endless. They REALLY REALLY are. To prove this, my friend (a photographer from Winnipeg) Jodi & her husband Dave provided me with their amazing spirit, and attitude and helped me out!

1.    Wear something that you love and feel comfortable in it. If you aren't comfortable in the way you look, it will be more difficult to capture you in your real personality. It might show up in the photos.

 

3.  Choose outfits that are complimentary in style; no need to be matchy matchy.  Not to often are you both getting up in the morning asking each other what you are wearing so you can match. I don't particularly want you both to wear black shirts & jeans either. What you will see in the next blog post matches but does not look you are trying to be twins! Try to stay away from patterns, and logos.


4.  Let's talk shoes and accessories! I love them both!


5. Props & Themes. I love them, I love using them, and doing the whole session around them! It helps if I know your likes and dislikes before so I can try to center the session around a theme that suits you!


So my friends Jodi & Davooooo went to Value Village and spent around $30 to outfit both of them including shoes and jewelery. I am not saying that you have to spend money at all, but if you are going to buy an outfit, you may end up spending more than $30 at a store. 


Check out the next blog post to see the shoot after we put all of our purchases together!

 

...oh one more thing....have fun!
