Capturing an engagement session well is a true art. It demands technical skill, a human touch, and the ability to find beauty in real, unscripted moments. When it all comes together, the results can be truly magical—and each year, we go looking for the images that raise that bar.
For our 2026 contest, guest judges JusttheDaisies, Victor Lax, and Through the Glass reviewed thousands of submissions from talented photographers around the world. Fifty images claimed their place in the Best of the Best Engagement 2026 collection. We’re thrilled to celebrate 25 more photographers whose images left a lasting mark on our judges. Meet our 2026 Honorable Mention photographs, presented below in no particular order.
