What to wear for a anniversary photoshoot

By Mariya Harley · London · updated August 2026

What works for a anniversary shoot specifically

Colour. If you are recreating a wedding frame, the styling difference is part of the story — do not try to match the original. Elsewhere, one shared palette across both of you.

Fabric. One look should be what you genuinely wear at home. The value of an anniversary session is that it shows the relationship as it is, and dressing entirely out of character defeats it.

Footwear. Whatever suits the walk. These sessions usually include a familiar route rather than a studio.

The thing that ruins frames. Both people in brand-new outfits. Clothing you have never worn changes how you stand, and after ten years together that stiffness is the one thing the pictures should not have.

Two rules that hold everywhere

• Steam it the night before — creases are the most expensive thing in any retouching bill and the cheapest to prevent.
• Bring options and decide on set, where you can see the light and the background rather than guessing at home.
