We absolutely love the tradition of having engagement photos taken before your wedding - it's the sweetest way to document this super romantic time in your life, to connect with one another, and to get to know the photographer you'll be spending serious amounts of quality time with once your wedding day arrives! To celebrate just how incredible engagement photography can be, we're thrilled to unveil our first-ever Best of the Best Engagement Photo Collection!

To create this stunning collection we called on wedding photographers around the world to send us their favorite engagement photos from the past 3 years, and after hours and hours oohing and ahhing over more than 4000 distinctive images, we narrowed our favorites down to just 50. There was so much creativity, romance, intimacy and laughter in these photos, we were simply in awe. We hope that you love them just as much as we do, and that they'll inspire you to document your relationship with engagement photos that represent YOU, perfectly.

Jump on over to our Best Photos of the Year section to see all 50 images!
