Engagement Style Guide | Becky’s Brides

With engagement season wrapping up, engagement photo sessions are about to be in full swing! We recently caught up with Eric and Jamie of Eric & Jamie Photography and talked to them about engagement session outfits and how to plan them! With the help of Eric and Jamie’s trusty engagement style guide, we’re here to help you plan out your engagement session with ease. Whether your photos are in the city, in the woods or in a garden, we have all the info you need to look fabulous in your engagement pictures!

Coordinate but don’t match: Find colors that complement each other and the environment you’re shooting in! If you’re wearing red, he doesn’t need to wear red as well. Find an outfit for your groom to be that matches well with your attire!

Don’t be afraid to go bold: Bold prints make for some fun pictures! Let your personality shine in these photos. Do you love bright colors or florals? Rock it!

Flatter your features: Choosing flattering silhouettes that complement your natural features is the best way to ensure you’ll love the way you look in your photos. For example, heels elongate legs and three-quarter length sleeves create a slimming look on arms! Pick an outfit (or two) that you feel the best in!

Professional hair and make up: Splurge and go for professional hair and make up! Professionals know how to make you look just right for your photos and it will always make you feel confident!

Details (for bride and groom!): Ladies, break out your favorite statement jewelry or bring along a flower crown and guys pack your most dapper bow tie or colorful socks! We also love props like blanket scarfs to bring an extra fun element to your photos. These details allow you to express your personalities in a fun and unique way.

Engagement photos are the perfect time to get comfortable with your awesome photographers and smooch on your fiancé! So whatever outfits, props or details you choose – make sure to pick the ones that truly express who you are as a couple!
