1. Choose Complementary Colors, Not Matching

Avoid identical outfits. Instead, pick tones that complement each other — beige, sand, cream, white, olive, light blue, or terracotta look stunning in natural light.
Earthy tones work beautifully in the desert, while light pastels or whites look elegant by the sea.

2. Flow, Movement, and Texture

Choose fabrics that move with the wind — linen, cotton, chiffon, silk.
They bring softness and emotion to your portraits. Avoid stiff or shiny synthetic materials — they reflect too much light.

3. Keep It Simple and Authentic

Your connection is the most beautiful thing in the photo. Outfits should reflect your personality — if you’re relaxed, go barefoot; if it’s an evening shoot, a long dress and linen shirt create elegance and comfort.

4. Avoid Distracting Patterns and Logos

Solid colors and simple textures look timeless. Large prints, stripes, or brand logos can distract from emotions and faces.

5. Think About the Location

Each location tells its own story:

  • Desert — neutral tones, flowy dress, linen shirt.
  • Beach — light blue, beige, white.
  • City/Architecture — stronger contrasts, modern silhouettes.

Bonus Tip: Bring a Second Outfit

If you have time, a second look adds variety — casual + elegant always works beautifully for couple sessions.
