Best of 2020 | Engagement Ring Shots

Best of 2020 | Engagement Ring Shots

2020 was a strange year, and nothing comparable to the past years in the wedding industry. I’m not going to sugarcoat it… It was so challenging to watch so many couples cancel and postpone their plans. But I don’t want to treat it any differently in the way I celebrate my couples. <3 That’s why I decided to still move forward with the “Best of 2020” series!! Like in previous years, I enjoy wrapping up the wedding season by sharing my best work. So I’m kicking off this series with my favorite engagement ring shots from 2020! 🙂

I love featuring engagement rings in its own blog post because it’s so much more than just the “bling!” It’s a beautiful promise and the start of a new chapter. And it’s an honor to celebrate with my couples whether it’s a proposal or an engagement session! 🙂 The pandemic didn’t stop some couples from making it happen either — I mean, why not make 2020 something worth celebrating?! 🙂 So I thank each of my couples for moving forward with their plans because it made my year!!! I look forward to sharing more from this series with you all!
