Engagement Photos Outfit Change

queenbee, on March 16, 2018 at 10:38 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 12

So we are doing our engagement photos this Sunday (FINALLY -- we booked our photographer in December last year but we have been engaged for 2 and a half years so far and needless to say this is a long time coming and I want to send out STDs ASAP). I have 2 outfits that I want to wear, a floor-length dress and a sweater with jeans and boots. My question is: if you have done 2 outfits during your engagement shoot, when did you change outfits and where? FH is so confused as to where I am going to make this change, probably in the car? Should I ask my photographer what she thinks or what she has had people do in the past? We're doing the photos on a cute little street and then further off the street is a historical site with old buildings and a creek, so we won't be in the same place for the entire time and I don't think I could carry a bag or anything because I don't want that in our pictures.

    I changed in the car, we parked it and put blankets on it so people couldn’t look in. Kind of like a mobile dressing room lol

    Yes. I had two locations and two outfit changes. The second location was just down the street from our apartment (little downtown area), so I changed at our apt. You can sit the bag off to the side while you take photos, and if any of the buildings are open change in the bathroom. If not, change in the car/bring a towel if your modest?

    We both changed our clothes in a public restroom at the park where we had our pictures taken. If that hadn't been an option, we would be changed in the car.

    We are doing 2 as well!! We are lucky enough that we’ll be shooting ours at this really gorgeous restaurant that has acres and acres of land in the countryside! So we’ll be able to use the bathrooms!

    We will have a more dressy outfit, then a more laid back one in our Pens jerseys! Our dog Rocco who is a German Shepherd, will be in our pictures too!!!

    Mine are this Sunday too! I just emailed my photographer to see if it's OK if I have 3 outfits since I can't choose. The beach where we're taking pictures has a bathroom so I'll change there, otherwise the car. My sister changed in the car.

    I would ask your photographer what they think would be best.
    We had an outfit change, but we changed in some gross restrooms at the park. We did 2 different locations at the park and just changed in between the locations. That worked out best, so we could leave our change of clothes in the car.

    THANKS, EVERYONE!! Had them done yesterday, changed in our SUV after talking to our photographer. It was a little challenging for sure, but worked out fine. I appreciate everyone’s advice!
