Fall Engagement Photo Ideas
If you are looking for cute fall engagement photo ideas to spark creativity for your own, you’re in the right place.
Now that you are engaged and rocking that stunning engagement ring, the next natural step is to take engagement photos.
Engagement photos are a once-in-a-lifetime chance to capture the joy and excitement before you marry the one you love.
With all the craziness (and cost!) of wedding planning, it’s a great idea to schedule an engagement session to take your mind off the stress for a bit.
Your engagement is one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning, and you should absolutely take the chance to document it with a fall photo session if you love the season.
I personally love the fall season.
Think pumpkin spice, cute sweaters and warm, cozy blankets!
It also reminds me that the holiday season is almost upon us, so if you plan a fall engagement photo session, book your photographer right away.
Fond fall memories often come back to remind me of this beautiful season, when the first leaves start to change colour, and everyone starts planning at least one trip to the pumpkin patch.
If you plan to announce your engagement, what better way than with cute fall engagement photos?
You can then share them on social media, like Facebook, so friends and family can see them, or use them on your save-the-date invitation cards.
So whip out that cute outfit and plan out your fall photo shoot.

We have you covered.
So what should you wear to a fall engagement shoot?
If your fall engagement session is coming up soon and you’re digging through your closet for the right outfit, keep reading.
Selecting what to wear for your fall engagement photo session is a big decision.
It depends a lot on your style and/or the theme you have in mind.
To start, the best colours to wear for fall engagement photos are brown and black.
Neutral shades like black, white, and brown always photograph well, especially in the fall.
A few other fall colour outfit combinations I love are emerald + yellow + rust, maroons + navy blues + khaki, denim + mustard + white, and maroon + brown.
Here is what to consider when picking your fall outfits:
- Go for burgundy, purple, black or brown outfits
- Pair this with some ivory
- Jeans can work well too
- Don’t be afraid to wear patterns
- Try wearing a cute hat
- A sweater or cardigan is great for cool weather
- You can never go wrong with a blanket scarf
- A second outfit + more layers won’t hurt
Last but not least, be comfortable.
