My wife, and I took our engagement pictures 20 years ago. We still have one of the pictures on our dresser in the bedroom. I've seen it everyday for 20 years. They tend to be around for a while. Therefore, I'm going to give you a few tips on choosing the right clothing. The rules are pretty simple. The most important thing you want to consider when choosing clothes is: Are these clothes a distraction? When people look at your picture what is there eye drawn toward? You want people to notice your face (Eyes, smile) first then move to your clothing. If one of you wheres a red shirt, the eye will usually go to that red shirt first. I'm not saying "no red shirts". Bright colors look great . Especially on dark skin. If you have a great tan, red is a good color. However, you should both wear bright colors so one of you doesn't get washed out of the picture. When in doubt earth tones always work. Black, white, brown, tan, blue, green.
Look for things that are trendy, and will look funny in a few years. Watches, and eyeglasses, yellow wrist bands, jeans, etc.... You know what I'm talking about. Someday your kids are going to be laughing, and pointing out how "2008" you look. Remember, these collars looked great in 1978.
