Best of 2016 | Engagement Ring Shots

Congratulations to all of the newly engaged couples!!! This is what the wedding industry calls, “engagement season.” 🙂 The holiday season is a cheerful time of the year, which leads to the great opportunity of popping the big question with family and friends gathering. Every engagement ring is different which makes it unique to the couple.

It’s fun photographing these sparkly diamonds for the couple to always remember the start of an exciting adventure together. What’s even more fun is listening to how the proposal happened. Sometimes it’s super chill in the comfort of their own home. Other times, it’s over the top and planned to the second how the proposal will happen. If you haven’t read some of the “love stories” from the engagement sessions I have photographed, be sure to check it out HERE! They are all special and sweet!!

Enjoy looking through some of my favorite engagement ring shots from the 2016 year!!! So many pretty shapes and sizes. 🙂
