What to Wear For Your Engagement Session (Part 2)

Writer's picture: Lori BensonLori Benson

As we continue on what to wear for your engagement session here's a super handy check-list:


For the ladies:

  • No chipped or overly bright nail polish. Neutral colors work best.

  • Avoid sunburn, tan lines or too orange of a spray tan.

  • Brows should be groomed. Enhance lashes with mascara.

  • We love a glossy lip...stick with berry or brown shades.

  • Use a moisturizer or foundation without a SPF, which tends to add shine.

  • Pack your makeup bag for touch-ups.

  • Wear undergarments that don’t show through your clothes, i.e., no black thongs under a white dress.

  • Hide those bra straps. Wear a bra that hides well under your outfit.

  • Drink plenty of water and get a goodnight’s rest for healthy skin.

For the guys:

  • Schedule a haircut at least one week before your session.

  • Make sure fingernails are trim and clean (you will see them in photos).

  • Avoid chapped lips by using a little chap stick.

  • Have a fresh shave. Five o’clock shadow can’t be retouched.

  • Avoid sunburn and tan lines.

  • Wear socks that match the color of your clothes' (no brown socks with black pants).

  • Wear shoes that match your clothing style, no flip flops with dress pants.

Now you're set! Check out the session images at Pinnacles Park north of Columbia, Mo, Centralia, Mo Battlefield, Shelter Gardens in Columbia, Mo and Capen Park in Columbia, Mo. Love all of these locations that set up great backgrounds for these couples.
