What Do I Wear To My Engagement Portrait?

Beach Engagement Photographer Gold Coast

What do I wear to my Engagement Portrait? Great question!

Here are some simple tips to help you pick out that perfect outfit:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. Avoid bold patterns. Strong contrast always draws attention to itself and makes the photograph look very ‘busy’. Soft or subtle patterns are perfectly fine.
  7. Avoid large logos or writing.
  8. Avoid being too matchy – everyone wearing matching white T-shirts and jeans is not very natural looking and it’s a little over-done.
  9. Avoid too much black/dark clothing – this suggestion is specific to Sunlit Studios clients because our style is quite the opposite – bright and happy!
