Locations

When thinking about the word elegant, a few places come to mind. Somewhere with reflections such as on a lake, or near the ocean, will give your photos a dreamy look. You can be miles from the water, like in this gorgeous destination engagement shoot, or even pose right next to it. The color of the water is just so classic and really adds a sophisticated look to the photos. It really captures the simplistic nature and will highlight you and your significant other.

Additionally, you could have the background of your engagement photos be the city skyline. City views are timeless which makes it the perfect spot for elegant engagement photo poses. The city will never go out of style! So take that leap to ask around where you can find a rooftop so you can get those stunning photos. Or even, reach out to your photographer, (me!) and let me help you plan for those elegant engagement photos.

Outfit Ideas for Elegant Engagement Photos

As you see in this remarkable engagement photo shoot, you can always opt for a timeless, long dress. You’ll want to dress it up quite a bit as the couple did here if you’re going for elegant engagement photos. Elegant clothing is very timeless and makes everyone look good. Instead of statement earrings, you might want to go with something that never goes out of style like pear shaped or diamond earrings. In this shoot the bride opted to not wear shoes, which can give a classy and laid back kind of vibe. 

However, you could do a nude heel or neutral colored sandals. In conclusion, for elegant photos you’ll want to have a solid colored dress , nothing too trendy or full of pattern. You may also opt for neutrals for the rest of your ensemble.

Elegant Engagement Photo Poses and Backgrounds

Poses and backgrounds go hand and hand! Once you have the perfect outfit, you don’t want it to clash with the set that you’ve chosen to take your engagement photos. Some poses are easier than others if you’re in an elegant dress. But, the most important thing is to be natural and feel comfortable while posing.

A candid pose of you dancing where he spins you around, gives the opportunity to show off your classy dress! It is also a lot of fun and makes your engagement photoshoot more of a fun date!

Another favorite of all the elegant engagement photo poses is when you stand right behind your significant other with your hands around their waist. This pose can be made more subtle and romantic, or playful.
