Oh, what to wear?

Blog submitted by Laura Muehlendorf, Laura Kay Photography

Need some help on deciding what to wear for your engagement session? Sometimes people dress matching because that is what they want, but most of the time it is because they have no clue what to wear if it is not jeans and a white shirt for pictures. Well, here is a little help to step away from the matching and have fun with your outfits.

You are not twins, nor should you dress like twins. Be comfortable so we can have fun taking pictures and not be worried about getting wrinkled. Remember real life is beautiful. Sometimes adding in a cute headband, tie, scarf or converse shoes to a plain outfit can make it fun. Engagement photos are all about who you guys are as a couple. It is about us photographing you and your fiance and the way you naturally act together. The way you hold hands, the way you look at each other and whether you link arms or snuggle.

Choosing the perfect outfit will only add to the beauty of the pictures. Sometimes if couples are really nervous about what to wear I tell them to pack up a suitcase of all of their options of clothes and accessories and then I go through it all and together and we piece together outfits. You don't have to go out and buy new outfits if you don't want to spend the money. I love piecing together outfits for my clients and creating a fun outfit they didn't even know they had. There is no rule that you must choose one outfit. If you want you can change into a second outfit halfway through the session. I can tell you all of this but the best way is to show you. Here are some clothing suggestions so you can see how to coordinate and not match.
