    Hi! My FI and I are having our engagement photos taken at the Como Park Conservatory in St. Paul, MN in December. We can do outside snowy pictures and inside pictures with all the flowers in the conservatory.

    What should we wear for the photos? Do people usually have more than one outfit? Should we "match" or "coordinate"? Any advice is welcome as I've never done this before! Thanks!

    We just had ours done this past Saturday.  We didn't wear any print.  Both wore solid colors.  I was in a maroon sweater dress with brown tights and brown boots.  He was in nice jeans, brown shoes, a navy blue button down.

    We did a few with our coats on and then the rest without coats.  Probably going to be colder where you live but you never know.

    Ask your photographer for suggestions.  We've been told solid colors work best and that we should coordinate, but not necessarily match.  Our photographer allows multiple outfit changes, but this varies from photographer to photographer.

    I have been there and it's absolutely beautiful! I love the idea!

    For outside I think great dressy jackets and jeans would be adorable and then hats and mittens or gloves, but if you do that make sure it's after the indoor session. Don't want to have messy hair! Or if it's nice, no hats and wear a cute sweater witha vest over it! But best go with whatever your style is. I would think for my fiance and I being from MN as well, I would want a cute peacoat and him in a dressy black jacket as well.  

    Inside you could go dressy casual by dressing up some jeans with cute tops!! Good Luck, I hope we get to see how they turn out!
