You are hauling gear, you are hauling bags, totes, reflectors, lenses…all this STUFF!
So what do you wear that fits the criteria of photographer and sophisticate simultaneously?
I once heard a wise photographer say: “look like a guest at the wedding who just happens to have a really nice camera.” While not everyone can manage it, I wear heels and frequently a dress. I wear some bling, but nothing too distracting. Basically- I am a professional version of ME.
I wear heels most every day, why should I stop when I’m working? Why should I be expected to done work shoes and cargo pants just because I’m shooting a wedding? People should never have that “there goes the photographer” look written on their faces.
Be clean, be savvy, be yourself.

Wow, I needed this! I’m shooting my first two weddings this year and automatically the first thing I thought was, “What am I supposed to wear???”I love your outfit here. I think I’ll go with that clean, black and white look with some nice heels. Professional and stylish, plus it doesn’t take the attention off of the bride and groom. 🙂
And don’t forget a bit of bling ;P No one says you can’t be fabulous 🙂
