What did you wear for.....

Your engagement pics? Mine are Feb 21 (barring any more snowstorms here in the DMV- UGH) I'm thinking a ruffle shirt, cardigan and dark jeans at this point, venue is a hotel (Hotel Monaco DC- check it out)...should I maybe go a little dressier? (FI will wear whatever I tell him LOL).....any suggestions welcome :)

Happy (almost) Friday!

    We went to 3 diff locations so I did an outfit change for each, 2 of them were dresses but it was also during the summertime.  My last outfit was some skinny jeans and a scandalous sheer shirt.  If you click on my bio, I have a few pics under engagement photos.

    I think your outfit sounds fine.  I'm a total dress girl so I say you should do an outfit change into a dress lol. (you'll be inside so you won't get cold)  But really, wear what makes you feel comfortable.

    HTH!

    Most people try to coordinate colors or wear the same shoes. FI and I jut wore what we normally wear. That way the pics were relaxed and very representative of us.

    I understand wanting to look good in your e-pics, but remember: To thine own self be true! Wear whatever makes you happy and causes less stress :)

    HTH!

    We did it when it was warm. If its in doors than you can go dressier. But that sounds like a cute out outfit. My siggy pic is one of our e-pics.

    We had ours done in a studio.  FI wore a suit and I wore a dress that coordinated with his suit.  FI had not had a professional photograph since elementary school so I thought this would be a good way for him a have a timeless, classic photo of himself.

    Our "semi-engagement pics" were done in August and I just wore a semi-casual skirt and top with sandals.  He wore a T-shirt and jeans like he does all of the time.  We took them outside at a historic site, so we figured we would kepp it casual.

    We are not taking ours until April or May at our alma mater (where we met) and at Longwood GArdens (outside & inside sites in Chaddsford, PA).  Your post has helped me think about what Fi and I should do for our pics.  i know, I was not any help, but the post is good:)  GL

    Hi Jamie!
    I am digging my way out of the snow storms in the DMV too!  My e-pics are scheduled for 3/6 and I have no idea what I am going to wear.  Thanks for asking the question so that I can pick up some tips!

    Good Luck!  My fingers and toes are crossed for good weather this weekend.
