Engagement photos are a huge (and very fun) part of the wedding photography experience for many couples and photographers, so we were excited to include them in our 2011 Best of the Best Wedding Photo Collection. The following are engagement photo submissions that we absolutely love and we wish we would have had room for in the final Collection. Enjoy their creativity, personality and spirit!
