Four Engagement Session Styles to Elevate Your Photos
Your engagement session is a beautiful opportunity to capture the love and excitement leading up to your wedding day. As wedding photographers located in Galt, Cambridge, Ontario we understand that choosing the right outfits can make a significant impact on the overall look and feel of your photos. Regardless of if you’ve chosen the Elora Mill or Downtown Galt the outfits will enhance and guide the feel of your images. Here, we explore four different styles—casual, polished, elegant, and eclectic—to inspire your engagement session wardrobe.
1. Casual: Effortlessly & Cozy
Casual outfits are perfect for couples who want their photos to reflect their everyday style and natural connection. This style is all about comfort and ease, while still looking put-together. It could be a a well-fitted pair of jeans with a casual button-up shirt or a simple T-shirt or a flowy sundress in a soft pastel colour paired with comfortable sandals or ankles. Here are a few of our go-to comfortable, casual but elevated looks we love:
We loved to see these looks while sipping coffee and fighting off croissant crumbs at Disko or exploring the Walter Bean Trail.
2. Polished: Sophisticated and Refined
A polished look strikes the perfect balance between casual and formal. It's ideal for couples who want a sophisticated, yet relaxed vibe in their photos. Think a tailored fit, crisp whites that ooze sleek and modern vibes. We can instantly picture us ending the session over a martini in a sentimental favourite bar.
We’d love to see these looks snuggled up at The Foundry Tavern while sipping a glass of sparkling or exploring the Gaslight District.
3. Elegant: Timeless and Classic
For couples who dream of a more formal and timeless aesthetic, elegant outfits create a sense of grace and sophistication that will look stunning in photos. It tells a story that we can see forming of perfect framing in impeccable architecture with your moody faces trying not to smile. It feels like the blooms in spring or maybe a unique studio engagement session at The Atelier is always serving up those vogueish black and whites.
We’d love to see these looks sneaking in to visit the stunning Meander at Tapestry Hall or sipping a cocktail at The French.
4. Eclectic: Bold and Unique
For couples who love to express their individuality, eclectic outfits offer the chance to play with colours, patterns, and textures. This style is all about showcasing your personality and creativity. Dare we give permission for pattern and colour mixing? Something a little quirky. When done right it can be adorable but proceed with caution.
We’d love to see these looks against the warm wood tones of Cafe 13 nestled in the downtown core of Cambridge which means when your final sips is beer of gone we can wander over to the amazing iconic Cambridge Bridges.
Choosing the right outfit for your engagement session is a wonderful way to express your personal style and create stunning images that you’ll cherish forever.
