What to wear for engagement photos? Help

Johanna, on December 9, 2021 at 1:37 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16
I have no idea what to wear for my engagement photos. I prefer short dresses. I'm super small in the chest area and skinny. Trying to find something that fits right is difficult. Our photos will be in June or July of 2022. I need ideas. Help plz. I found this white dress below but would love some other ideas . Also posted a picture of myself. I plan on going lighter for my hair color before the wedding. What to wear for engagement photos? Help 1

    Doesn't have to be a white dress, but if you want to go that route, I think that is super cute! Very fitting for summertime photos.

    Definitely choose something that you're comfortable wearing! If you prefer short dresses, choose a short dress. It could be a white dress, or really any color. I would avoid wearing large prints or patterns that distract from seeing you. Also keep in mind your location: wearing white against a light color background might blend in too much with the background, while as a red dress would probably stand out beautifully. Similarly, if taking photos against a red background, I would choose a white or yellow or gold dress. I think the white dress is super cute for a summer photo shoot!

    I'm not exactly sure where the photos will be done at. We've thought about the botanical garden in town or maybe out where the wedding will be they have a pond.

    I love the dress!! Smiley laugh
    I chose two different dresses. We had our engagement pictures taken in the mountains for a rustic look.
    My first dress was a dusty blue and then my second one was white.

    This may not be your vibe, but have you though about black? My FH and I both wore black and I loved our pics!

    Hi Johanna! You can wear whatever you want for your engagement photos!! But I definitely recommend wearing 2-3 outfits for your shoot so you have options! You can do a casual and a formal outfit, or just switch up your colors - but I didn't end up loving the way my 1st outfit photographed so I was SO happy I had half my photos in my 2nd outfit!!
