What did you wear for your engagement pictures? PIP

I don't know if I should go with something super-casual or something more fun and springy.  We're doing our pictures in the public gardens in a couple of weeks, and I'm thinking of wearing the dress below:

I love maxi dresses but I'm not sold on wearing one for e-photos.  I think a short dress would look much better.  JMO.

ZRex

Good point.  A maxi dress eliminates certain possibilities, like cute shoes, etc.  I think I'm going to have to go shopping and see if I can find anything acceptable.  Where did you get your e-pic dress?  It looks like Anthropologie or Marc Jacobs?

Anthropologie   On sale even!

LOL.  You know you're obsessed with clothes when you can guess where other people buy theirs.

Casual look - jeans and t-shirts


More formal - FI is wearing grey pants and black dress shoes

FWIW, our photographers did a session of themselves last year, and she wore a patterned dress. I think the second one you posted would work, but why not ask your photographer?

Emily- You are ADORABLE!!!!  Love the shoes with the dress in the second picture, and LOVE your wedding dress.  I just had a fashion-gasm.  

I think I will ask the photographer...I haven't because I am not a huge fan of his personal style, but I don't think I should let that affect his knowledge as a professional.

There are a bunch of ours in my bio.  I did a solid shirt and dressy jeans for one outfit, and a silk print dress for the other outfit.  It's a big, bold print, though, and it turned out fine.

We both wore white button up shirts, and he wore khakis and brown shoes. I wore a fuschia linen skirt from Banana Republic and black wedges.

Full ensemble:


Closer detail of skirt (though the embroidery didn't show up too well on film, so maybe it's not a great idea to do that):


I would also stay away from small jewelry or busy patterns, as others have said. Have fun!

Jeans and sweaters    Because thats what we're most comfortable in.  We had them done in central park, just two days after he proposed.
