What to Wear to Your Colorado Couple Session: Inspired by Shawnmarie & Matthew’s Garden of the Gods Shoot

One of the most common questions couples ask before their photos is, “What should we wear?” This guide answers that directly: here’s what to wear to your Colorado couple session so you feel confident, comfortable, and completely yourselves. Shawnmarie and Matthew’s vibrant, boho-inspired session at Garden of the Gods is the perfect example—bold color, thoughtful layers, and outfits that reflected who they are.

As a Colorado photographer, I always remind couples that when you dress in a way that feels true to you, it shows — not just in how you look, but in how you connect. Here’s how to plan outfits that feel natural, timeless, and completely “you.”

Top Tips on What to Wear to Your Colorado Couple Session

1. Coordinate, don’t match.

Choose complementary tones instead of identical colors. Think rust, cream, olive, or deep blue — colors that work beautifully with Colorado’s natural palette.

2. Add texture and layers.

Layering creates visual depth. Shawnmarie’s embroidered jacket and Matthew’s patterned shirt gave each frame dimension and storytelling flair.

3. Avoid neon and busy logos.

Natural tones and soft patterns photograph best under Colorado’s changing light. Avoid anything that reflects or distracts from your connection.

4. Bring one extra outfit.

Having both a casual and slightly dressier option adds variety to your gallery — and gives you confidence knowing you have choices.

5. Comfort = confidence.

If your outfit feels restrictive, it’ll show. The more relaxed you are, the more natural your photos will feel.

Outfit Inspiration for Colorado Sessions

Colorado’s landscapes are full of earthy, muted tones — which means almost any palette can work if it feels cohesive. Pair soft neutrals with a statement piece, like a textured jacket, knit cardigan, or flowy dress.

A Session Full of Laughter

After their shoot, Shawnmarie shared,

“Bobak made us feel so comfortable! His sense of humor and enthusiasm made it easy to just be ourselves. We had such a blast!”

That’s always the goal — to create an atmosphere where couples can relax, laugh, and fully enjoy the experience.
