Tips for Choosing What to Wear As a Wedding Photographer
- Consult your clients before shopping or rummaging through your closet for the perfect wedding day outfit. Ask important questions about theming or colors to avoid. When in doubt, wear black.
- Use the wedding theme to influence your attire. Is it a formal or a casual celebration? This will help you curate the perfect outfit.
- Don’t dress like a guest. No matter the theme of the wedding, you should dress professionally on your clients’ wedding day. You’re the face of your brand.
- Comfort is key. You’ll be running around all day on your feet so make sure comfort is a top priority when selecting every aspect of your outfit.
- Be mindful when it comes to the functionality of your outfit. Pick clothing items that are practical and you can easily move around in. You never know what you’ll have to do to capture dreaming images and angles. If you’re wearing a dress, be mindful of the length.
