Your engagement or couple photo session is more than just a photoshoot—it’s a celebration of your relationship, your story, and the way you connect. Whether it’s an engagement, anniversary, proposal, or simply a lifestyle couple shoot, the outfits you choose will set the tone and help you feel confident, stylish, and true to yourselves.
🌿 Start with a Shared Palette
Choose 2–3 complementary colours that reflect your personalities.
Neutrals (beige, cream, soft grey) create timeless elegance.
Earthy tones (olive, rust, mustard) blend beautifully with natural backdrops.
Pastels (blush, sky blue, lavender) add romance and softness.
💡 Tip: Coordinate without being identical—your outfits should harmonise, not match exactly.

👗 Dress for the Setting
Beach or ocean: Flowy dresses, rolled-up pants, light fabrics in soft pastels.
Greenery or park: Earthy tones, boots, and layered textures.
Urban or cityscape: Sleek neutrals with bold accents (burgundy, teal, mustard).
At home: Cozy knits, soft textures, and intimate neutrals.
✨ Comfort Creates Confidence
Choose outfits you can move in—there will be walking, hugging, and playful moments.
Avoid restrictive clothing or anything that needs constant adjusting.
Shoes matter: barefoot on the beach, boots in the park, or polished shoes in the city.
🎨 Add Personality & Story
Accessories like hats, jewellery, or heirloom pieces can add meaning.
Think about your shared style—casual chic, bohemian, elegant, or playful.
Props (flowers, champagne, a picnic blanket) can enhance the storytelling.
💡 A Note on Authenticity
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and true to yourselves. When you’re relaxed, your connection shines through—and that’s what makes the photos cinematic and heartfelt.
