Best Colors to Wear for Summer Engagement Photos
Not sure of the best color for summer engagement photos?
Popular summer colors include cobalt blue, coral, pink, white, and red.
Unlike spring engagement photos, summer engagement photo outfits tend to be brighter. Think more along the lines of bright blue versus light blue and emerald green versus a mint green.
You really can’t go wrong with what color you pick, just don’t wear a boring black or brown!
If you are blonde, consider wearing one of these colors.
Summer Engagement Photo Outfits for Him
If you are taking casual engagement photos, your guy may look sharp in khaki shorts or light blue or green shorts and a button-up colored shirt. Demin jeans and a simple polo shirt work well too! Just make sure his shirt is a solid color versus something with a lot of patterns on it.
For more semi-casual engagement photos, he can wear jeans and a nice, collared shirt or pants (gray, khaki, black) and a button-down shirt.
What to Wear for Him
- Black slacks + collared shirt
- Dark blue jeans + collared shirt
- Khaki shorts + polo (for casual photos)
This men’s casual blazer is also AMAZING for summer photos. It’s the perfect mix between dressy and casual.

- Parks and Hiking Paths (anywhere outside!)
- Local Colleges

FAQs about Engagement Photos
What should I wear for summer engagement photos?
Maxi dresses (ankle-length dresses) look great in summer photos! You also can’t go wrong with a simple cotton dress for summer engagement photos.
What to Wear for Her
- Maxi dress + sandals
- Long, maxi skirt + crop top
- Floral print, knee length dress + wedges
What should I wear for mountain engagement photos?
Long dresses look great in mountain engagement photos! Go with a floral print dress for a softer look or a deep burgundy or bold, bright color for more contrast.
I personally like bold colors and no patterns on dresses for mountain photos. It's less distracting and makes the photos more focused on the couple and the scenery versus the outfit itself.
See below for inspiration.
What should you not wear for engagement photos?
Avoid clothes that are too tight or too bright (like bright orange). You can wear white, but it's usually not recommended.
You can wear t-shirts and jeans if you want, but I'd personally recommend steering clear of going casual. Dress up for your engagement photos in a nice dress and have your fiancee wear nice, dark jeans or black slacks and a collared shirt.
How far in advance should you take engagement photos?
Most couples take engagement photos 1-2 months after getting engaged. So there's no need to wait!
Many couples are also using their engagement photos as a nice collage on the "save the date" postcards.
What time of day is best for engagement photos?
Most photographers recommend 2-3 hours before sunset. Work with your engagement photographer to determine the best time for photos. He/she should know the best lighting for the time of year.
How much do engagement photos cost?
Most couples end up paying $200-$500 for engagement photos.
You can also ask a friend to take photos for you if you are okay with less professional-looking photos! Sometimes a photographer friend will be happy to take the photos as their wedding gift to you.
