It’s vital to coordinate with your partner’s clothes as it’s not your individual photoshoot. To get gorgeous pictures you should agree about each other's main outfit colors and look harmonic.

Stay Comfortable

Opt for the clothes you feel comfortable to move in and enjoy the process. Do you remember any of your cute and romantic dates? What were you wearing? That’s how you can express your own love story and cherish it with some stunning snaps.

Play With Colors

Backdrop matters. Blue waves of the ocean? A green dense forest? A busy city?  Mind the colors and things that are going to be behind you. It’s better when the colors of your couple’s dress for a pre-wedding shoot don’t merge and overlap with the background. For instance, dark red looks amazing with lush green in the background.

Relax and Show Your Style

Never play any roles since you’d like to share and save your personal story. Show off your style. You may choose the outfit you wore for your first date or would wear for a casual one. If you go for some more sophisticated options, you still need to feel comfortable in such clothes (e.g. a gown and a suit) and show your candid emotions to get natural photos.
