First, talk to your photographer about what he or she has in mind for the E shoot. The photog will ask you to bring a few changes of clothes, about two or three outfits. Choose outfits that are very "you," but that photograph nicely. Of course, wear something you feel comfortable lying down, jumping, hugging, and moving around in (you'll be doing all of these poses), but also consider the colors, shape, and patterns that will look the best on film. Light colors and tiny prints don't photograph as well as dark colors or brights (which are also slimming).

Dresses are always a great choice. I love a girl in a wrap dress, which is universally flattering. Or, try accentuating the smallest part of your waist with a belt to look pretty and shapely. And as for your groom-to-be, don't get too matchy-matchy. His outfits should complement yours (check out Stephanie & Jose below; she's in a purple dress and he's in a purple tie).

Many shots will be full-length, so make sure you wear great shoes. If you're more comfortable in black or neutrals, hooray for bright, colorful shoes! They really catch your eye in the photos.

Your photog will scout the locations he or she wants to use before the shoot. E shoots should be outdoors, forget a studio portrait. Try a field, an urban street setting, or even your home. This is where wearing bright colors comes in -- you and your fiance will really pop off the backdrop.

Talk to your photographer about what props you might want to include. Stephanie & Stephen below incorporated awesome vintage cameras into their shot. Joanna & Cooper did part of their E shoot with a watering can and another part in Cooper's kitchen, cooking breakfast. Bradley & Jordyn also used a slew of great props: a bicycle, basket of peaches, even a puppy! Also, consider a bouquet of wildflowers, balloons, an old car, your kids -- whatever embodies you and enlivens the shot.

Finally, just relax and let loose. Kiss, hug, climb a tree, give him a piggyback ride, eat cotton candy. I love how E shoots have evolved from a studio portrait or single bridal portrait to the carefree, colorful shoots of today.
