Planning your engagement session in Savannah? First of all—yay! There is nothing more dreamy than strolling beneath Spanish moss, exploring historic squares, and capturing your story in a place filled with charm. One of the biggest questions I get from couples is: “What should we wear for our engagement photos?”


Don’t worry—I’ve got you! With a little guidance, your session will feel effortless and look beautifully cohesive.


How Many Outfits Should We Bring?


Two outfits are usually perfect for your engagement session.

This gives you just enough variety without interrupting the fun or flow of your time in front of the camera.


I typically recommend:

✅ One dressier outfit

✅ One casual outfit


This variety lets you show different sides of your personality—soft and romantic plus relaxed and playful.


Outfit #1: Dress It Up


Go for a more polished look. A dress or skirt photographs beautifully, especially among Savannah’s historic district and moss-covered oaks. Men can choose a button-down, blazer, or nice sweater paired with trousers or chinos.


Why it works:

✨ It feels timeless and elegant

✨ Your images pair beautifully with the soft scenery

✨ Flowy fabrics bring movement—hello, dreamy portraits!


Bonus Tip: If you choose a dress, consider something lightweight and flowy. Movement in fabric adds instant magic to your photos—especially when we’re twirling in Forsyth Park or strolling around River Street.


Outfit #2: Keep It Casual


Your second look can be a little more relaxed—think jeans, long pants, or shorts. This is your chance to reflect your everyday personality and have fun with the session.


Casual outfits allow for:

✅ Running around

✅ Snuggling on picnic blankets

✅ Sitting on the steps or cobblestone

✅ Playing and being yourselves


You’ll love having both a polished look and something more natural!


Dress for Movement


In Savannah, the best photos are often full of motion—a skirt lifting in the breeze, a playful run down a path, a spin under the oaks.


The more flowy your pieces, the more dynamic and romantic your gallery will feel. If your clothes can catch light or wind, they’ll photograph beautifully.


General Style Tips


✔ Stick to neutrals & soft tones that complement Savannah’s scenery—think sage, blush, ivory, chambray, sandstone.

✔ Avoid loud logos or distracting patterns.

✔ Coordinate, don’t match. Choose complimentary colors rather than identical ones.

✔ Comfort is key. If you don’t feel good in it, you won’t look relaxed on camera!


Most of All—Have Fun!


Your engagement session should feel like a date night. Dress in pieces that make you feel confident and comfortable, and we’ll have the best time exploring Savannah together. Two outfits help tell the full story—romantic and lively—and allow your personalities to shine through.
