Dinner d'Elegance Event Photography | Event at Le May Museum | Tacoma, Washington

Emily with Lola Floral is so incredibly talented. She is unique and elegant all at the same time. This event was put together for the Dinner d'Elegance tour which is an annual event with some of the finest examples of automotive art and design worldwide as the host of the new Pacific Northwest at the Le May Museum in Tacoma, Washington. The details in the centerpieces and emasculate, and don't even get me started on the working headlights hanging from the bar. Incredible work Emily! 

What to Wear to an Engagement Shoot

What to Wear to an Engagement Shoot

Coordinate colors

  • Without looking too “matchy matchy”. One thing to remember is they don’t have to be the exact same color. The same color family will work well. Purple with Blue. Light blue with Green. Yellow with Brown.

Coordinate styles

  • Guys make sure you match the overall “feel” of your ladies outfit. If she’s wearing a dress, make yourself look a nicer with a button up shirt, maybe a sport jacket. If she’s rockin’ some jeans and heels then funk yourself up a with a nice polo, and some sweet kicks.
  • Families – Try to keep in the same genre of style for every member. Mom and dad wont look as nice all dressed up when the kids are sporting t-shirts and sneakers.

Wear Layers

  • Ladies –  add a color undershirt with your dress or top for an extra pop of color. Add a light weight jacket or cardigan, tie it off with a skinny belt. Fellas – sport jackets go a long way, so will a different color solid shirt under your button up.

Accessorize

  • Ladies – fashionable jewelry from necklaces, brackets, rings, earrings, hand bands, a simple scarf, pashmina etc. can bring more personality to your photos. Guys – match your belt to your shoes. I know guys, you though this was only for the ladies. A fashionable hat or stripped socks can be fun as well!

Your Photographer Should be Creating a Custom Designed Guestbook for you!

Photographers are creatives, and we love to design. I design create and custom design guestbooks for all of my brides. Why? Because I love doing it, and my brides love them even more. Once your amazing engagment images have been edited. I work with my brides on choosing the right images, and adding personal touches to create an album that is a one of kind. When it comes to the wedding day, this guest book will be out on your welcome table for your guest to leave notes of love, advice, and praise. 

What an incredible custom piece, that you will have for years, and one day hopefully pass along to your children. Now, why aren't all photographers doing this??
