Engagement Photo Outfits

Julia, on April 27, 2019 at 8:01 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

We have a great Photographer and a 90-minute Engagement Shoot included in our Wedding package and our session is coming up on June 12th! We are told we have an outfit change so to do a "formal" and "casual" option and I'm kind of racking my brain about what to wear.


My fiance is in the Navy and I originally wanted him to wear one of his dress uniforms but he nixed that really quick, so his formal will be kind of easy with Dress pants and a button down shirt and I'll go with a dress and heels but not sure of tight wiggle dress or flowy swing dress because I like vintage fashion.


I'm really stuck on what to do for casual but still look nice? It would be a little too hot for jeans for me which I love to wear but maybe jean shorts and sandals with a simple blouse? But what is the casual male outfit? The khaki cargo short uniform? Please share your engagement photo pictures or advice or what you wore!

    I just wore jeans and a blouse in one and a dress in the other. My fiancé wore jeans and a polo and jeans and a long sleeve button down shirt. I wouldn’t get too caught up in doing casual and formal if you don’t know what to do for it! I would just pick two outfits that you like and maybe just more of two different looks than a formal and a casual look

    Okay cool, I worry that I'm getting too caught up in trying to reflect our personalities in our photos 😂 like I'm asking a lot of a few pieces of clothing

    They look great!! Our setting is going to be Downtown Frederick, MD in the city we grew up in, lots of cute little brick townhouses and storefronts, maybe walk over to the park as well but not 100% sure but it will be a little bit busy with surroundings so maybe we keep the outfits really simple

    This was our outfit for epics.
    Maybe do some white shorts with a nice top and sandles for you and khaki cargo shorts that match ur shirt?

    Ours were done at a beach/lighthouse so our clothing was like a dressy version of casual and then we did soccer jerseys for the 2nd outfit! A polo and khakis is a great option for male refined casual!

    Omg I love the soccer jersey!!! I think our version of this would be hockey jerseys lol I've wondered how something plain like t shirts would look because we are casual af and that is what we wear 90% of the time lol

    Our engagement photo shoot is in 2 weeks!! I also wanted two different looks, but neither one will be fancy or dressy. We are huge Oakland Raiders fans, so one of our looks is with jeans/shorts and our Raiders jerseys!!

    Then we'll change. I'm wearing a short sundress I found, and FH will wear some khaki shorts with a polo shirt. Nothing fancy, just a bit more romantic than the football jerseys.
