What Look are you going for?

Before we figure out what you (and your fiance) should wear, let's first figure out what overall look / vibe you are wanting to achieve. Below there are 3 general looks that engagement photos typically fall into. There is no one right answer for everyone. Any and all of these can produce amazing and beautiful engagement photos for you, it just depends on the two of you and your relationship.

Classy / Fancy / Formal

When you think of date night with your future spouse, do you think of going out to a nice restaurant with a white table cloth that is multiple courses with a glass of wine?

Yes!? Great! Sounds like more formal engagement photos may fit your style best!

Not really? Sweet, head over to the next descriptions to see if they fit better!

Casual / Laid Back

When you think of date night, do you think of heading out to a restaurant and going to a movie after? Do you think of eating snacks at a late night movie?

Yes!? Great! You guys sound a little more casual and laid back, this may fit your style best!

Not really? More of a homebody? Sweet! Head over to the cozy description and that may fit you best!

Cozy / Intimate

When you think of your typical date night, do you think of snagging food to go (or even a home-cooked meal) with a movie or a game night just hanging out?

Yes!? Great! The two of you sound like you prefer to have more intimate and cozy time together, this may fit best!

Still not really? Are you in between two of these? Absolutely no problem! Ask your photographer if you can do multiple "vibes" if that's what you want!
