Engagement Session Attire-- What do I wear?

InFrame Bride Magazine is THE resource to find answers about all things concerning the world of wedding photography.  Not sure what to wear for your engagement session? Here are some tips: 
Keep it simple. Avoid busy clothing with distracting patterns. If your shirt could talk, it should be whispering. Steer clear of bold stripes; logos or ruffles that can add unwanted bulk. Dark colors are most flattering, but black can wash out a pale complexion. Opt for navy blue instead. 
Be yourself. Don’t reinvent yourself for the photo shoot. The photos should reflect your personal style. Wear something in which you feel comfortable and confident. 
Make-up is a must. At a minimum, consider a concealer or light powder to even out your skin tone; you’ll be happy with the result.  Add in a touch of mascara to lengthen your lashes. 
Compliment each other. Remember fourth grade, when you and your best girl friend wore matching outfits? This is not fourth grade.  Pick a color scheme that both your wardrobes can accommodate.  Coordinate your outfits together, but leave the matching fanny packs at home. 
Mix it up. Changing accessories during the shoot adds variety.  Try subtle wardrobe changes like adding a scarf or switching out your necklace or shoes to add some character. Remember to keep it simple.
