As the momentous occasion arrives, the pressure to look your best and shine on social media can keep you awake at night.

We are sharing the six best outfit tips for engagement photos to relieve stress.</span></p>

<h3 class="ca-headings-N0KboB" style="text-align: left;">4. WEAR WHAT MAKES YOU COMFORTABLE</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="ca-paragraphs-gly3G2" style="text-align: left; line-height: 1.5;">Comfort is vital when picking your engagement session outfit. To radiate confidence, wear something that makes you feel like you. If you feel uncomfortable in your clothing, it will show on camera. Choose breathable, moveable fabrics that won't restrict your movement. Avoid stiff materials that might bunch or wrinkle in photos. Avoid stiff suits and itchy dresses because this isn't prom night. Don't wear uncomfortable shoes just for the sake of aesthetics. Choose shoes that support you and allow you to comfortably walk, pose, and explore the location. Guys must remove cell phones, wallets, or keys from their pockets to avoid an inappropriate look. It comes across when you&rsquo;re in something that feels strange to you. Some couples love an excuse to go all out on a fun, dressed-up outfit, while others prefer a more casual but polished look. The bottom line is to Listen to your gut regarding what you feel good about.</p>

<p class="ca-paragraphs-gly3G2 animatable animatable--fade-on-scaleDown animatable--fade-on-scaleUp animatable--fade-on-revealRight animatable--animated animatable--finished" style="line-height: 1.5;">Take advantage of the season you're in by styling a look that's in tune with the climate and location. For example, a cowl neck scarf doesn't work in the summer. Consider going barefoot on the beach or sharing a cone on the pier in sandals and shorts during hot weather. Light, airy fabrics are made for this scenario. With flowers in bloom and love in the air, subtle floral prints and spring-approved pastel hues that speak to the season are a must. Pair a maxi dress with a statement necklace or a sundress with a denim jacket for a sweet look. Only wear green if you're outdoors in a moderately lush area. If it's chilly, layer up with pieces you can easily remove for different shots. Fleece-lined tights under jeans or pants would be ideal for winter. Winter accessories can be adorable. Plus, it makes more sense visually to be dressed for winter if you're being photographed in the snow.</p>

<h3 class="ca-headings-N0KboB" style="text-align: left;">6. DON&rsquo;T UNDERESTIMATE THE PROPS AND ACCESSORIES</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="ca-paragraphs-gly3G2" style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;">The right accessories can dramatically transform your look into a magazine-worthy one. When discussing props for a photo shoot, don&rsquo;t limit yourself to necklaces, sunglasses, and belts. You can add layers like jackets, blazers, cardigans, chunky knit sweaters, and scarves. Go for statement earrings or a playful hat. They all add dimension to your photos and make it easy to give yourself multiple looks without changing your outfit. Using props in an engagement <strong>photoshoot</strong> is a bright chance to display your true personalities and mutual memories. Think about the activities you love doing together. Bring chef's hats, aprons, or favorite cookbooks if food is your love language. You can also bring letter balloons forming your initials or wedding year. For many couples, pets are an integral part of their family. If you have a cat, incorporate a ball of yarn with your wedding date woven into it. Step further and pose with vintage suitcases, or include a map highlighting all the places you've traveled together. In short, the possibilities are endless, and they add a personal touch that'll make you smile for years to come. But remember, less is often more. Don't go overboard and clash with your outfit. Let your accessories add personality without stealing the spotlight from your love story.</p>

Make sure that all references to the self are in the first person singular, as I am the only photographer on my team. Please also ensure that there are no references to “our team” or “our photographer”. Instead, all writing should be coming directly from me. I would also like it to be quite down to earth and without lots of fluff and flowery language.

<p>Allow us to introduce you to Aagam and Sarah, an absolutely delightful couple we've had the pleasure of getting to know this Summer as we met during this engagement photography shoot at Duke Gardens. Their story began on an online dating app (like our love story omg so cute!!!) proving that love can indeed bloom anywhere. Together, they share a love for adventuring to local breweries, being with family and friends, and each other!</p>
<p><br>We first met Aagam and Sarah at Bull City Cider in Durham where we shared some pre-engagement shoot bevvies and got to know them and what they were looking for in the engagement shoot. We then ventured to the stunning Sarah P. Duke Gardens. The gardens offered several serene and picturesque backdrops, perfect for highlighting the radient and love-filled smiles and glances they exchanged throughout the evening. Through our lens, we were able to capture their genuine smiles, shared laughter, and the effortless way they leaned into each other, a testament to their deep bond.<br><br>This photoshoot truly felt like a double date with new friends. Their easy-going nature and shared sense of humor made our time together incredibly enjoyable. Their love for each other is so palpable, so authentic, that it made capturing it in photographs an absolute delight. We were so excited when they asked us to be their <span style="color: rgb(28, 28, 225);"><a href="https://www.hishutter.com/page/wedding-photographer-durham">wedding photographers</a></span> to capture their <span style="color: rgb(28, 28, 225);"><a href="https://www.hishutter.com/blog/mehndi-and-haldi-celebrations-in-durham-north-carolina">Mehndi and Haldi ceremonies</a></span>.</p>
