  Wear your favorite shirt - what ever makes you feel the prettiest. That way, you will be confident and comfortable.

  I'd pick a color that compliments your skin/hair/eyes and avoid patterns.  They can look too busy in the different areas that you are in and will tend to look dated much more quickly than a solid.  I would also pick a more fitted shirt since a flowy one might make you feel like you look bigger in pictures than you are.  Also pick a neckline that is flattering for you.  Maybe try googling engagement pictures and see what different girls are wearing and what you personally gravitate towards.  HTH !  Good luck with your shoot and have tons of fun!

  Clothing for Photo Shoot
  •Avoid stripes, plaid, and patterns. Solids photograph much better.
  •Avoid clothing that has wording on it or logos.
  •For outdoor sessions, remember there won't be a fancy place to change. Dress comfortably.
  •Make sure you both have the same level of formal or casual attire.  If you wear a full length dress he should wear a button up shirt and tie not jeans.
  •Vary the dress level. Bring some dressy and some casual.
  Jewelry
  Best tip here, keep it simple. We want the attention on you. Big, shiny jewelry can distract from the real subject, YOU. If you have different jewelry for different outfits, you might put each set of jewelry in a plastic baggie and hang it on the hangar with that outfit.
  
  Makeup
  Makeup should only be slightly heavier than normal. About like you might wear in the evening. Mascara should be clean and contain no clumps. So if your mascara is old and clumpy, replace it first.
