Coordination of outfits and accessories
Choosing Solid Colors and from an Earth Tone pallet tends to photograph best! Choose outfits that complement each other, like color-coordinated pieces or matching styles. Avoid stripes, plaids and logos if possible, unless you decide to break all the rules, and if you decide to break the rules I always encourage you to truly break them! Ensure accessories are minimal and don’t overshadow your outfits. Simple jewelry or subtle accessories can add a touch of personality without being distracting. Coordinating outfits and accessories can enhance the overall look of your couple photos and create a harmonious visual balance. Accessorizing your look can be sunnies, jean jacket, leather coat, umbrella, hat, scarf, bandana, clutch, tie, vintage camera. Lastly if heels are part of the look awesome, please bring comfy shoes or sandals if the location requires great walking distance or hike between shots!
