What to Wear to Your Engagement Shoot

Here, photographers give us the scoop on which clothes make the cut for camera.

1. Wear an outfit that feels like you. "We usually tell our clients that the most important part of what they wear is that they feel like themselves. Whether that means that they're wearing jeans and a t-shirt, a swimsuit or a full suit, we're happy if they feel happy," said Tony Hoffer. The outfit that you choose will help set the mood and influence how your photographer shoots you, in the context of your location.

Tip of the Day: If you hear that one of your bridesmaids is being difficult, don't tell her that everyone is complaining about her behavior. Instead, calmly ask if she's having any issues that you may be able to help with. Gently suggest that she let the maid of honor take the lead on planning decisions related to your bridal shower or bachelorette party.
