What to wear

One of my most common questions is what to wear. Luckily for you, this blog will help you so that you not only look amazing but feel confident throughout the entire session.

Coordinate Without Matching: Choose outfits that complement each other without being too matchy-matchy. Think about colors and styles that look good together.
Colors and Patterns: Opt for colors that suit your complexion and avoid overly busy patterns. Soft, neutral tones and classic prints often work well.
Layers and Accessories: Layers can add interest and depth to your photos. Consider jackets, scarves, and tasteful accessories that enhance your outfits.
Comfort and Confidence: Choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident. You’ll want to look relaxed and natural in your photos.

Outfit Ideas

Casual: Jeans and coordinating tops, casual dresses, or stylish everyday wear.
Formal: Elegant dresses and suits, cocktail attire, or something chic and sophisticated.
Themed: Consider a theme that reflects your interests or the season.

Props to Bring

Meaningful Props: Bring items that are significant to your relationship, such as a favorite book, hobby-related items, or keepsakes.
Fun Props: Think about incorporating playful elements like balloons, signs with your wedding date, or a picnic setup.
