Engagement Photos this weekend!

fancywright2

Hey ladies -

We're taking our e-photos this weekend. We only have an hour, so I don't think we're going to do wardrobe changes. There was a 20% chance of rain, but I think that's gone away now and will just be partly cloudy.  What did you guys wear for your photos?

I was determined to change so I wore a total of three outfits. How formal or casual do you want them?

Great post, as I was thinking the same thing! Sisters, please help us out!

You should coordinate but not match, avoid colors like white and light colors

</div><div>LOL! I don't want them too formal or too casual, so somewhere in the middle. I was thinking of a sun dress and some strappy heels but there is a chance of rain in the forecast, so I need a plan B.</div>

</div><div>Hmm..FI was thinking of wearing a white button down and black jeans (it's always simpler for the guys, isn't it!). But now that you're saying avoid white, I'll have to rethink his look.</div>

We are thinking of two looks: semi formal and a casual change. Semi formal with me in a black dress/blue heels/red lips and him in a black slacks/white top/blue tie/hat at a hotel or the new bridge at night. Then a casual change in the rose garden with both in jeans, me in a blazer (not sure on color) and him in camel sweater/polo shoes. But  M1ssJ said no light colors, so now I'm re-thinking his causal outfit. 

M1ssJ

No no!!! lol a white shirt on him will be fine! I've just seen some ppl (women) wear an all white dress then FI has on something with very little color and its not interesting to look at. I think since you guuys have FI in whote shirts that should be fine! My FI wore white shirts to ours. On them it just looks crispy with anything

We just did 2 outfits.  One was more formal, I had a dress on and DH had on a suit and then we changed into casual clothes.
