One of the most creative and fun ways to celebrate being in love is with an engagement or portrait shoot that shouts your personality from the rooftops! Not only that, but there’s no better way to connect with your wedding photographer, so you’ll feel comfortable in front of the camera on your wedding day. We see so many amazing engagement photos come through our doors that we often can’t find a home for on our blogs, so this year, for the first time ever, were hosting a Best of the Best Engagement Photo Contest!

If youve already had your engagement photos taken and you think they belong in the limelight, forward this link to your wedding photographer to let them know about the contest. If you haven’t yet booked your session, stay tuned and get ready to be inspired!

We’re calling on photographers from around the world to submit their best engagement, anniversary or couple’s portrait photos between now and May 1st, 2013. Well choose the 50 very best images to share with you right here on May 20th.

Photographers, visit our Submission Page and Official Rules for more information, and submit your photos today! We can’t wait to see what you send!

(The amazing images above, by J. Cogliandro Photography, Anna Kuperberg Photography, Brent Foster Photography & Cinema, Olivia Leigh Photographie, Callaway Gable Photography, Dmitri Markine, Ryan Brenizer Photography, and Franck Boutonnet Photography were all submitted to past Best of the Best Wedding Photo Collections, and chosen as winning images, or received Honorable Mention. Hooray for awesome photography!)
