Try Monochromatic White

White will surely pop against the colorful flower field if you plan to do your engagement sesh there. Some flowers typically bloom in March and April, so you better take advantage of the time when they are in full bloom. Try a white top and pants or flowy white skirt while your man wears earth tones and neutrals. That spring engagement session outfit will surely nail your engagement photos

Layering for Dual Purpose

Spring temperatures can be unpredictable and fluctuate pretty quickly. So layering up will not only protect you from weather changes but will also give you multiple stylish looks. Yep, you can achieve different looks without the hassle of completely changing clothes.

Choose Colors that Blend with the Location 

You may want to have your session in a special place, perhaps your local area with heritage architecture, a botanical garden, or even inside your apartment. Regardless of your chosen location, it’s essential to choose a spring engagement session outfit with colors that you can incorporate with the background. Pastel colors work well with the environment in the spring season.

Go for Floral

A floral, flowy dress with a fitted waist is a perfect outfit to represent the spring season. Photographers love movement in clothing because it produces very dynamic photos. So imagine what drama can a long floral dress do to your pictures for moving a little or even just standing still with the breeze gently touching your dress. Your fiance could wear neutral colors and patterns like stripes or checkered to compliment your floral dress.

Take off Those Shoes

If you dream of taking engagement photos on the beach, doing it in spring is the best time to go. You can avoid large crowds who are typically there during the summer months. So you won’t have to worry about people frolicking on the sand, getting in the way in your favorite spot on the shore. Go ahead, remove those shoes, enjoy the sand, walk, or run with the love of your life along the seashore. Trust us– those fun, romantic moments will radiate through your photos. 

Okay, if you’re still undecided on what to wear to your engagement photo session, why not try to ask your photographer? For sure, they will give you insights on what to wear and help you choose the outfit that will produce fabulous engagement photos. Remember, try to look and feel your absolute best, especially if you’re getting professional photos taken. Of course, you want to enjoy and not regret your photos for years down the road.
