Stylist outfit picks for wedding photographers | Erica Rian

10/03/2019

My thoughts: The one thing I STRUGGLE with is outfits to wear to a wedding as a photographer. I want to look bomb but also want to be able to crotch and jump up and down if needed (gotta make those kids smile am I right?). Anyways sometimes I feel like my outfits give off a little Sonoma county hippy wedding vibe which is great for wedding around Sonoma county but not for high end Tahoe weddings or desert weddings or SF rooftop ones. Every wedding requires a different outfit so that is why I hired Erica to help me come up with a variety of outfits to match different types of weddings. She picked some GOLD pieces you guys and also most of them were on crazy sale too. She has sold me on Macy’s last act rack for life! Hope you enjoy her picks for me. (P.S. The camo pants at the end is what I would wear for a session not a wedding. It was just something she found at T.J. Maxx and I could not resist 12 dollar jeans that were that cute!). Hope you love stylist outfit picks for wedding photographers by Erica Rian.

P.S. After this shoot I have more respect for fashion bloggers. It is not easy to know how to shoot these all differently and think about lighting/ how I look all in one. I am not great at posing myself and changing fast but hey I had fun so thats what counts right?

Erica’s words of wisdom: Jana has excellent taste, so ramping up her work wardrobe was a blast. But not everyone struggles with what to wear. In fact I think most photographers in general worry/struggle more with the fear of out shining the client. While this is respectful I think its essential to remind anyone who is working for a client that they hired YOU. THEY LIKE YOU. So show up all the way, ramp up your style if you’ve been hiding. Don’t be afraid to be memorable.

Outfits found at: TJ Maxx, Macy’s (mostly sale rack) and Thrift stores. Feel free to message me directly and I can tell you where each exact item is from. Have fun shopping everyone!

Check out my most recent wedding in which I wore the all black dress and brown belt. Joshua Tree Wedding.
