What to wear when photographing a wedding

  • Comfortable shoes: You will be on your feet for hours (and likely doing a lot of walking around), so choose shoes that are comfortable and supportive. Flats, loafers, or low-heeled shoes are all great options. I personally love the Me Too and Cole Haan brand of shoes. Check out some of my favorites for shoes in the styled outfits below.
  • Dark colors: Opt for color in darker colors like black, navy blue, burgundy, and dark grey. This is not to say you can’t wear colors (in fact, I think color is fun for a wedding day) but dressing in a dark color is usually the safe option so that you look professional but that you blend in.
  • Professional attire: Choose clothing that is professional and modest. For women, a dress or skirt that falls below the knee or pants with a cute top or bodysuit are good options. A suit and tie is always a safe option for male photographers or if the wedding is more casual, you can opt for dress pants and a dress shirt. It is important that you are dressed up. You are going to a wedding, so don’t try to wear jeans, jean shorts or yoga pants.
  • Hair and makeup: Keep your hair and makeup simple and natural. You want to look professional, but you also don’t want to look too done up. You may want to pull your hair back in a bun or low-ponytail so it is out of your face.
  • Accessories: Show off your personality with fun jewelry. I love to dress up a classic little black dress on a wedding day with fun earrings or a bold necklace.
    • Pro tip: If you are photographing a church ceremony, opt for jewelry that doesn’t make noise when you move around. There is nothing worse than being the person making noise because of your jewelry selection. 🙂
  • Layers: Wedding days can be hot or cold, depending on the season and location and the time of day. Bring a light jacket or sweater even on the 80+ summer days because once you get inside the reception venue, there is a pretty good chance the air conditioning with be on, and you might be cold.

A photographer should not dress like a guest It’s important for photographers to remember that they are not guests at the wedding. Your job is to blend in and capture the special moments of the day, not to be a distraction. Avoid wearing anything that is too flashy or attention-grabbing.
