✨ Engagement Session Style Guide

Your engagement session should feel effortless, romantic, and true to you. This guide will help you choose outfits and colors that photograph beautifully—especially in soft coastal light.

🌿 Overall Style Vibe

Think:

  • Light, airy, and timeless

  • Soft movement + natural textures

  • Coordinated (not matching!)

  • Elevated but still comfortable

🎨 Color Palette Inspiration

  • Cream, ivory, soft white

Best colors to wear:

  • Rust, terracotta, burnt orange

  • Mustard, warm brown

  • Olive green, forest green

  • Beige, tan, camel

    ✨ Great for a more dramatic, editorial feel

👗 What to Wear (For Her)

  • Flowy dresses or skirts (movement = magic ✨)

  • Linen, chiffon, or soft cotton fabrics

  • Subtle patterns or solid colors

  • Wedges, sandals, or barefoot for beach

Avoid:

  • Busy patterns or logos

  • Super tight or stiff fabrics


👔 What to Wear (For Him)

  • Neutral button-downs or fitted tees

  • Linen shirts or lightweight layers

  • Khakis, chinos, or neutral pants

  • Optional: light jacket or blazer

Avoid:

  • Athletic shorts

  • Graphic tees or logos

  • Bright white paired with bright white (mix tones instead)

🤍 Coordinating Tips (Not Matching!)

  • Choose 2–3 colors and build around them

  • One outfit can have a pattern, the other stays solid

  • Mix textures (linen + cotton, flowy + structured)

  • Think of your outfits as a color story

🌅 Final Tips for That Dreamy Look

  • Wear whatever makes you feel like DYNAMITE!

  • Movement (walking, spinning, laughing) makes photos feel natural

  • Trust the process—I’ll guide you every step of the way
