What should we wear?  How should I do my makeup/hair?

It depends on what kind of engagement photo shoot you and your groom want. Some couples treat their engagement photo shoot like it’s for a magazine cover, and others just want to look like they do every day. You can dress as casual or formal as you like -- whatever feels the most like you as a couple.

It also depends on whether or not you choose a theme for the photo shoot. If you want a 1920s vintage theme, you’ll have to pick an outfit based on that. If you’ll be taking photos on a beach, you might wear bathing suits for some of the pictures and then change into jeans and T-shirts for the rest.

Once you know what direction you’re going in, choose an outfit you feel your best in. Try to complement your shape and enhance your best features.  If you don't normally wear makeup, you should wear some for your photo shoot.  You and your fiance don’t have to match, but you could coordinate your outfits so that the colors don’t clash. 

Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry, works with you and your theme, to create a polished hair & makeup look for your engagement session, book your appointment today!
