Outfit #1: Fun + Relaxed for the Beach

  • A sundress, bare feet, wind in your hair… yes please!
  • Guys can opt for rolled-up sleeves and barefoot-in-the-sand vibes.
  • Avoid bold patterns and neon colors that compete with the soft tones of the ocean and sky.

Be Ready to Move and Laugh!

Some of the best engagement photos come when you’re not trying too hard. We’ll guide you through poses that feel natural and playful spinning under the palm trees, dancing down the sidewalk, or running into the waves.

Pro tip: Ladies, choose dresses you can twirl in and shoes you can slip off easily we’ll be moving from streets to sand and back again

  • Think timeless elegance: a flowy maxi dress, a cute jumpsuit, or a fitted midi paired with heels or sandals.
  • For guys: chinos with a crisp button-down, or even a lightweight linen blazer if you want to elevate the look.
