Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! 
 
You might have noticed my name a few times in some of Jenny's recent posts. I'm David, and have been shooting with Jenny for the past year, and she's kinda given me keys to the kingdom. So whether that's a good thing or a bad thing - you tell us! :) 
 
So why do I have the keys to the Ferrari? Well Jenny, for some reason thinks I have a sense of style, and while everyone has their own individual taste, she also makes a very valid point: that everyone needs a bit of inspiration to help that along. Especially since what you wear, and bring to a shoot can enhance and make your photos have that extra touch of wow if you get it right. And who doesn't want that for their pictures right? ;) 
 
So, hopefully my ideas and suggestions over the coming weeks and months will help you out on your engagement shoot, or your wedding day. Don't get me wrong, I'm no expert, and I'm constantly learning about styling. So, take my suggestion with a grain of salt, and as always I am happy to answer any questions, so let's get this ball rolling, and we're gonna begin with the boys this time around! 
 
In Australia, we're coming into Autumn/fall and to be perfectly honest, the most underutilised colour I see is NAVY/Dark Blue. A lot of grooms use black, and charcoal - actually I think most of our grooms wear black suits on their wedding day. This autumn, I think more of our grooms should think about a beautiful navy suit. Why? A Navy suit can be used with a multitude of colour ties. So for those grooms, who are brave enough to use a bright coloured tie - this does work, depending on the colour of course.  
 
So, as a plus - after the wedding, you can use it also for work/interviews - it becomes multi-functional. Now, if you are going for a Navy suit, keep it simple. There is no need for, pinstripes or checks. This is a wedding after all! In my opinion, pinstripes and checks are a bit too corporate.  
 
So, here are some of my recommendations for a killer Navy outfit:  
 
• Keep the navy suit simple 
• Block colour only 
• Slim cut / fitted cut 
• Shoes - Chocolate/dark brown or black 
• White pocket square/handkerchief 
• Solid colour tie / bow tie (avoid white tie if possible - will go onto this sometime later) 
• White or baby pink shirt 
 
Keep in mind, the above list is just a suggestion - play with what works for you and rock it with confidences :) 
 
And, you know, this is a photoblog after all, so here are some examples of navy suits being pulled off extremely well. 

The combo is simple, but the red bow tie really adds a different dimension to the outfit Bold and daring! We love grooms who are willing to be abit different!
