Potentially going to wear for engagement photos

i am having a civil ceremony… but would like to take engagement photos… i don’t wanna get a midi white dress like most do , for it as my “wedding” dress is exactly that .. i also wanted color rather than a white dress… i’ll post my inso for the look in comments … but do the dress and shoes work together? and is the dress suited for my body type ? i normally stay away from short dresses like this as i absolutely hate my thighs..
