What do I wear to my Engagement Portrait? Great question!
Here are some simple tips to help you pick out that perfect outfit:
- Feel free to wear clothing that suits your personality – after all, we want to capture the real you! Your favourite statement jewellery or a fresh floral crown might be just the thing to really give the photo that something extra special.
- Wear complementing (not matching) colours. A white base with vibrant pops of colour, suits our bright style perfectly! You could also go with earthy tones, beach tones or incorporate your home decor’s colours.
- It’s lovely for girls and women to wear a dress or skirt as a feminine contrast to the male’s pants. Dresses can look particularly stunning in silhouettes or blowing in the wind.
- Consider your selected location. Pops of blue look amazing against a very orange pine forest floor. Bright and light colours look beautiful at the beach. Earthy colours can really work for a paddock or green location.
- Invest in professional hair and make-up. Not only is it a wonderful confidence-boost and treat for yourself, but you want to be 100% happy with how you look (particularly considering our artwork is made to last for a lifetime!). When styling your hair, we love the drama that movement in the hair brings – so don’t be afraid to wear it out, even if it’s windy!
- Avoid bold patterns. Strong contrast always draws attention to itself and makes the photograph look very ‘busy’. Soft or subtle patterns are perfectly fine.
- Avoid large logos or writing.
- Avoid being too matchy – everyone wearing matching white T-shirts and jeans is not very natural looking and it’s a little over-done.
- Avoid too much black/dark clothing – this suggestion is specific to Sunlit Studios clients because our style is quite the opposite – bright and happy!
