1. Coordinate, Don’t Match

Choose outfits that complement each other instead of wearing identical colors or styles. Stick to a cohesive palette — think soft neutrals, pastels, earth tones, or rich jewel shades. If one of you is wearing a patterned piece, keep the other’s outfit simple to balance the look.

📸 Pro Tip: Avoid loud logos or busy patterns — they can distract from your connection in the photos.

👗 2. Dress Like You, But Elevated

You want to feel confident, comfortable, and authentic — just a slightly more polished version of yourselves. Go for outfits that feel like “you” but fit the occasion, the location, and the tone of the shoot.

👔 Men: Fitted shirts, layers, and rolled sleeves photograph really well.
 👗 Women: Flowy dresses, jumpsuits, or well-fitted separates are always flattering.

🌅 3. Think About the Location & Season

Where your session takes place will impact your outfit choices. Consider:

• Nature/Outdoor Shoots: Soft fabrics and earthy tones (think Riverwood Conservancy, Port Credit)
• Urban Shoots: Modern outfits or something chic (like downtown Mississauga or Toronto streets)
• Fall/Winter: Layers, scarves, coats, and cozy textures
• Spring/Summer: Light fabrics, pastel colors, and breathable materials

🧥 4. Bring Two Outfits

We always recommend bringing two outfit options:

• One casual, relaxed look
• One slightly dressier (think date-night glam)

It gives you variety in your gallery and tells a more complete story. We’ll help you decide when to change during the shoot!

💍 5. Show Off the Ring

This shoot celebrates your engagement — don’t forget to get your ring cleaned beforehand so it shines in close-ups! Consider getting a manicure (or just tidy nails) so you feel confident in detail shots.

💄 6. Hair & Makeup — Go Professional If You Can

Many brides-to-be use the engagement session as a trial run for wedding hair and makeup. If that’s an option for you, go for it! You’ll feel camera-ready and it helps you see how your glam will photograph.

👟 7. Choose Comfortable Footwear (or Bring Extras)

If we’re walking around or shooting outdoors, bring comfy shoes for in-between locations. You can slip into your stylish heels or loafers once we start shooting.

👜 8. Accessories Add Personality

Add subtle accessories that reflect your personality — a statement necklace, a wide-brim hat, a leather jacket, or even a bouquet of flowers can elevate the mood and aesthetic of your session.

🚫 Bonus: What Not to Wear

• Neon colours
• Small tight stripes (they distort on camera)
• Wrinkled clothes
• Items that you constantly have to adjust
