What does your wedding photographer wear?

So I notice some of the people who look at my blog are other photographers who are trying to find out what they should wear to a wedding they are shooting. But I also thought that this is an important thing for anyone who is hiring a photographer to know.

Here is what we normally wear at a wedding...

Me - I normally wear black. A long or short sleeved black dress shirt and solid black or pinstriped slacks. If it's a formal affair, I would wear a black dress. Flat, comfortable shoes are a must, however, I usually kick mine off during the ceremony, this allows me to get around faster and quietly. Now, I have on occasion worn a lighter colored blouse for an outdoor wedding if it was going to be hot. Black just won't do in 90 degree weather when the humidity is up!

Brandon - My husband normally wears a dark dress shirt and tie and either black or khaki slacks. Of course for a formal affair, he also has a dress jacket and tuxedo attire as well. Comfortable black shoes is a must for guys as well.

Now, I have actually attended weddings wear the photographer was wearing jeans. Your photographer should blend in or be dressed slightly better than your guests. So, if you are having a wedding in which there is a dress code, make sure you inform us about it as well.
