Engagement Photos - What did you & FI wear? HELP!

Our Engagement photos are Saturday.

I am at a loss.  I think we are going to do half of the shoot in jeans, and I'm not sure about the 2nd outfit.....or what shirt I should wear.

Just looking for suggestions, and wondering what you all wore for yours!!

Thanks a million!!!

    We did the whole thing in one outfit-- both in jeans and sweaters (it was fall).  I guess part of my outfit choice would have to do with where we were shooting (indoor/outdoor) and how easily I could find a spot to change.  A dress would be great, but if you're outdoors, wind and weather could make life a little more difficult.

    We aimed for a vintage feel and didn't want to change since we didn't have access to a place to host our things. I wore a dress with fun heels and he wore dress pants and suspenders. Picture is in my signature below. If we had a place to change, I may have tried for 2 outfits.

    Thanks!  It is going to be 2 hours long....so I want to change it up a little.  I might start in a dress and then change into jeans.  It shouldn't be too difficult to slip them on under my dress!

    I don't know why I'm worrying so much.

    We just did ours yesterday and I wore jeans and a cream colored tank top in half of them and a purple dress in the other.

    I know what you mean about stressing about the outfits...I spent a ridiculous amount of money on outfits/accessories for these pictures - and it was hot as blazes out yesterday so I'm pretty sure I'm dripping sweat in all of them and look awful!

    I wanted to have vibrant colors in our photos, so I wore a coral dress from Akira & FI wore a vintage looking button down.  The pic below is from our session.  I've done a lot of photo shoots & I would suggest staying away from jeans unless they're a really dark wash.  It can end up looking a little to casual or flat in the finished product.
