So, you’ve booked your couples session—yay! Now comes the big question: what do we wear?! Don’t worry, I’ve got you.
First things first—your session isn’t about perfect outfits or stiff poses. It’s about you—your connection, your love, your goofy laughs, and those quiet moments in between. The right outfits? They just help bring that magic to life.
Neutrals & Muted Tones: Your Best Friend
Earthy tones, soft neutrals, and muted colors (think warm tans, olive greens, dusty blues) always look amazing. Why? Because they complement natural settings and put the focus where it belongs—on your love. Bright neons? Not so much. Let’s keep it timeless.
Patterns & Textures: A Little Goes a Long Way
Muted patterns? Yes. A full-blown plaid vs. floral mix? Maybe not. Simple, subtle prints or textured fabrics like linen, knits, and denim add dimension without stealing the show. Layers (a cozy cardigan, a flowy dress, or a denim jacket) can also make your photos feel dynamic and natural.
Comfort is Key (Seriously!)
If you don’t feel comfortable, it will show. Wear outfits that make you feel like yourself—just an elevated, put-together version. Flowing dresses, well-fitted jeans, cozy sweaters—things you can move in, twirl in, and hug in without a second thought.
Try It On & Test It Out
Put on your outfits ahead of time and do a little test run. Walk around, sit down, hug each other, maybe even slow-dance in the kitchen. If something feels off, adjust it now so there’s no second-guessing on the day of your session.
Accessories? Yes, Please!
Hats, scarves, rings, layered necklaces—small touches can make a big impact. Just keep them true to your style and not too overpowering. If you love them, bring them!
Let’s Plan Together!
Still unsure? No worries—I love chatting with couples about their vision and helping them bring it to life. Send me outfit ideas, ask me questions, and let’s make sure you feel amazing before you even step in front of the camera.
At the end of the day, the best outfit is one that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and totally in the moment with your person. So relax, have fun, and let’s create some magic together!
There is nothing sweeter than love, or is there? Maybe love on an island or love in the rolling hills? If you have considered a destination wedding and are recently engaged, this blog is for YOU!
