The clothes for your photo session
Which clothes to choose for your couple photo shoot?
The outfits
It is really important that you are yourself the day of the photo shoot. Do not change your style, just be careful to connect with each other. Stay simple. Choose a color not too bright, avoid red, you can also choose a color of reminder that will be present on both of you while remaining subtle.
It is better to have a nice plain shirt rather than a striped shirt or pea that will not showcase the image. Avoid overly visible marks and overly large logos. Send a photo of your outfit to your photographer before the session. Ask for advice and think about creating a clothing moodboard. It will be possible for example to create a table on pinterest that you will share with your photographer a few days before your session. you can also use it more generally to create a mood table of the day. Location, atmosphere, decor ...

The accessories
Remember to take some jewelry or a nice family watch, or any other sentimental items that you can wear without doing too much. stay subtle.
In which season do you shoot?
In each season its advantages and disadvantages.
What are your expectations? What kind of pictures would you like to keep as a souvenir? Which type of season do you prefer? Everyone is free to choose the perfect time of year to organize the session.
And if it's raining?
Why plan a B plan? It's a bit of the magic of the moment!
Have you ever dreamed of romantic photos with your lover in the rain? Well, it's time! "Singing in the Rain"!
Plan B is simply about having a spare business, a towel or an umbrella.
Enjoy this moment of rain to create a unique, magical and extraordinary moment. A moment you will remember all your life.
A magical place ... but with the right shoes
I particularly like the natural places, on which you will be able to pose, in front of a forest a little dark or in front of beautiful mountains, on rocks, close to a agitated and tempestuous sea, the waves in the backgrounds. I have the image of a couple taking the hand. One pulling the other towards him over a cliff. as if they were going to flee to live their love away from everything. That's what I have in mind when I set up a photo shoot. The flight to the future, make photos in motion but also static, like a beautiful painting frozen in time. To leave in an unusual place It is also the moment to discover a new landscape, To escape the time of an afternoon. A getaway in a place you do not know. The new look on a landscape is interesting for the photographer. The discovery of a new scenery will dazzle you and the photographer will also feel what will be felt in the images.
During a weekend, on such a destination, leave a full day away from everything, to the sea, to the mountains etc, whatever the places you have in mind, you will need the right accessories. So remember to take a pair of shoes adapted to the chosen place. if you plan to go up a cliff, consider taking small basketballs and more.
So remember to take shoes in which you feel comfortable and relaxed (in addition to more formal shoes) to be able to walk in the grass, in the ground or on rocks if necessary and not to be limited on the choice of the place.
During my last photo shoot, after thirty minutes of descending through foliage and small land trails, and skipped a few streams, we discovered this beautiful waterfall and it was clear that it was necessary to have small walking shoes or sandals to access the final shooting place.
It would be a shame not to be able to access a place because you are not well equipped.
In summary
Choose your clothes according to the place
Avoid the red too flashy
Favor pastel colors
Avoid cracks that crinkle too easily.
keep your style
Plan a second run if you wish
Plan a pair of basket for walking
think of weather and accessories that will allow you to stay dry, or to change.
Take some accessories that are dear to you such as a watch or jewelry.
Stay subtle
Have fun !
