Considerations For Your Beach Engagement Photoshoot Attire
It is smart to ensure that whatever you wear matches the location but also does not take away too much from you and your partner, who are the subjects of the photos.
1. Try to Wear Neutral Tones
You truly can’t go wrong wearing neutral colors for your beach photoshoot. By wearing soft tones, you ensure that you will keep the attention of the photos on you as a couple rather than your bright clothes.
White is a popular choice for many couples. It blends nicely with the sand, it is not too hot for wearing at the warm beach, and it pairs nicely with pretty much every skin tone and hair color.
2. Wear Swimsuit Attire
If you plan to be getting in the water, then it’s smart to wear something that can get wet! Not to mention, what looks better at the beach than a swimsuit?
To add some texture and interest to your clothes, you might consider wearing a swimsuit cover up over your bikini!
3. Color Coordinate With Your Partner
Couples look nice a cohesive with color coordination! Whatever you decide to wear, try to match.
4. Hide Those Tan Lines (Or Sunburn!)
Be sure to wear something to cover up any unwanted tan lines! This can take away from the dreamy photos you are envisioning. That being said, don’t forget to wear sunscreen the days leading up to the photoshoot.

Tips for Beach Photoshoot Couples Poses
1. Be Yourself
To get natural and candid shots, be yourself! I suggest to not overthink it too much when it comes to posing for photos. Of course, you are going to have to warm up to for a few minutes at first. This is especially true if you don’t know your photographer well or you’re just meeting them for the first time.
2. Interact With Each Other
Some of the cutest photos may be the two of you candidly laughing at what someone said or maybe leaning in for a kiss!
3. Do Your Research Ahead of Time
It might help you to read articles such at this one that you’re reading right now to get some inspiration prior to the day of the shoot. You can also look up ideas on Pinterest or Instagram.
Not to mention, research your photographer too. You may want to “stalk” their Instagram or website portfolios to get an idea of what vibe they have, as well as what poses they tell people to do.
