Clothing choices make a bigger difference than most people expect. The guidance, thankfully, is simple.
Plain, solid colours photograph more reliably than busy patterns, which can distract from the parts of the image that actually matter. Bring a backup option if you’re unsure, since a quick change is easy on the day but impossible to fix afterwards. Think about how an outfit will sit against the background or setting you’ve chosen, since contrast matters more than the outfit alone.
Beyond clothing, comfort matters more than most people plan for. Anything that pinches, restricts movement or needs constant adjusting becomes visible in the final images, however subtle it feels in the mirror.

FAQs
Straight answers below.
What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?
Almost everyone does at first. The session is built around walking and talking rather than posing, so it stops feeling like a photoshoot within the first ten minutes.
Can we use the images for save-the-dates or a wedding website?
Yes, that is exactly what most couples do with them. High-resolution files suitable for print come along with web-sized versions.
