1) Be True to Your Style: Your engagement photos should reflect your personal style. Whether you lean towards a chic, modern look with dress and suit or a more relaxed, bohemian style, choose outfits that represent you. Don't feel pressured to conform to trends; your comfort and authenticity are what will shine through in the photos.

2) Two Outfits for Variety: Starting with a casual look helps you relax in front of the camera. Your second outfit can be more formal or dressy, offering a nice contrast. This approach provides a range of images for different uses and memories. Usually, an engagement session is 1-2 hours long. 97% of my clients said that it was so chill, fun, and relaxed so they can do it once again, lol.

3) Embrace Elegance: Long, flowing dresses not only look stunning but also add movement to your photos, creating dynamic and romantic imagery. For men, a well-tailored suit or a smart casual combination can complement the elegance. Try to avoid white socks without white pants. Try to put on socks in matching colors with your pants.

4) Color Coordination: Coordinated outfits create a cohesive look without appearing too uniform. If one person chooses a pastel color, the other might select a darker shade within the same color palette. This approach ensures both outfits complement each other and the surroundings. Try to avoid blue jeans and white T-shirts. 

5) Choose Lighter Tones: Lighter, more muted colors tend to photograph better and don't distract from your face. However, a strategically chosen bright color can bring vibrancy to the pictures without overwhelming them. Coordinate your outfit with the location for a harmonious look. Opt for casual attire like summer dresses or relaxed pants for city or park settings. Choose an elegant dress for a more sophisticated downtown environment. 

6) Flattering Outfits: Choose cuts and styles that you feel most confident in. For women, an A-line dress can be universally flattering, and for men, a tailored shirt can emphasize the shoulders and waist.

7)Height Considerations: It's important to consider the height difference between partners. Shoes can play a significant role in balancing this, especially in full-length shots.

8) Accessorize Thoughtfully: Simple and classic accessories can elevate your outfit without making it look too busy. Remember that less is often more when it comes to accessories in photography.

9) Empty Your Pockets: Bulky items in pockets can ruin the silhouette of your outfit. Keys, phones, and wallets should be left in a bag or with the photographer when shooting.

10) Professional Hair and Makeup: This not only enhances your look but also boosts confidence! Don't skip it! A professional touch can ensure that your makeup is photogenic and lasts throughout the session.

11) Ring and Nails: As your engagement ring will be a focal point in some shots, having it sparkle, and your nails done adds an elegant touch to close-up hand photos. Please tell your fiancé to do it as well.

12) Men's Attire: A cohesive and polished look for men can be achieved with layers and accessories. It’s about balancing style with comfort and making sure the outfit complements the partner's attire. Don't put on a big labeled belt(Like Versace etc)! More elegant accessories look better.

13) Engagement Session Packing List: Think of all scenarios: a change of clothes, makeup for touch-ups, snacks for energy, and any props that might add a personal touch to your photos.

14) Make It a Date: Your engagement session is a celebration of your love. Planning a special activity afterward keeps the day memorable and enjoyable, reinforcing the positive experience of the photo shoot. Book a restaurant visit after the photoshoot. It will help to remember this day even better.

15) Don't forget to have fun and trust your experienced photographer – consider bringing along a bottle of champagne to add a celebratory touch to your session!
