Before you call a single photographer, have a discussion with your partner about what kinds of engagement photos you’d like—posed or candid, formal or casual.

What to wear?

1. Wear Clothes That Make You Feel Like You

An engagement photo definitely doesn’t require you to shop for coordinating outfits. Try to compliment each other; “When deciding how you and your partner will dress, look for complementary colors and solid prints. Try to stay away from anything too busy, as it can be an unnecessary distraction in photos.”

2. Choose Pastels, Cool Colors, and Neutral Tones

You want your faces and the love between you to stand out.” So consider wearing pastels, cool hues, or neutral tones, then add a pop of bright color with your accessories
