✨What to Wear – Outfit Tips for Your Switzerland Photoshoot

What you wear plays a big role in how your photos will look and feel — and most importantly, how you will feel during the shoot. These are general tips that work beautifully for most sessions, whether it's a surprise proposal, a pre-wedding shoot, or a cozy couple session. Feel free to adapt them to your style and the type of experience you’re planning.

Choose Colors That Pop Against Nature 🎨

Stick to soft tones or earth colors that complement the surroundings — like beige, sage green, burnt orange, dusty rose, or cream. These tones pop beautifully against snowy mountains, green meadows, or blue lakes. Avoid heavy logos or busy patterns that can distract from the moment.

Bring Options 👕🧥🧣

If your session allows, pack one formal outfit and one casual look. This gives you variety in your gallery and lets you show different sides of your connection — romantic, fun, relaxed, or elegant.

Keep an Eye on the Weather (but Don't Stress) 🌦️🌈

Switzerland’s weather can be unpredictable, especially in the mountains. Bring layers, stay flexible, and trust the process — some of the most dreamy photos happen in unexpected weather like light rain or misty clouds.

Travel Light but Smart 🎒👟🧤

Bring only what you’ll need for the shoot — comfortable walking shoes, a coat for warmth, your outfits, and a small bag for essentials. I’ll take care of the route and guide you to the best photo spots.

Coordinate, Don’t Match 👫🎨

You don’t need to wear matching outfits. Instead, aim for colors and styles that complement each other. Think harmony over uniformity — like soft contrasts or shared textures that look beautiful together in photos.

Footwear That Works 👟🥾

You don’t need hiking boots in every photo, but bring comfortable shoes for walking between spots. We can always swap them out for fancier shoes once we’re ready to shoot.

Plan Hair & Makeup Accordingly 💄💇‍♀️

Go for a natural, glowy look that holds up in changing light and weather. If you’re hiring a makeup artist, make sure they’re experienced with outdoor shoots — or let me recommend one locally!

Bonus Tip

Wear what makes you feel confident, cozy, and you. When you feel good, it shows — and that’s what makes a photo truly unforgettable.
