We discussed one of the biggest things you should consider when thinking about what to wear for your engagement photos is the season you’re taking your photos.
Engagement Photo Outfit Ideas for Fall and Winter
If you’re planning your engagement photoshoot during the fall or winter, especially outdoors, then layers are your best friend! Even if you elope during the fall, it can get pretty chilly, so accessories with jackets, blankets, and scarves.
Fall engagement photos are gorgeous because you have the fall foliage to play off of with your outfits together. Think of incorporating oranges, reds, and neutral colors. Some fun ideas is incorporating sweater dresses, jean jackets, and boots.
Winter engagement photos are fun because you can bundle up together in the snow. The white backdrop also allows plenty of options for your engagement outfits. Think about the different textures you both can incorporate into your outfits and remember to stay warm during your snowball fight!
Engagement Photo Outfit Ideas For Spring and Summer
We love Spring and Summer engagements because couples are able to wear more comfortable clothes and go on more outdoor adventures without the need of carrying multiple layers. For your spring and summer engagement session, think about where you’re taking your photos, but flowy dresses, jeans, and nice tops are always a great option!
