I love a ringshot because it highlights that symbol…the symbol of what you are about to enter into…a lifetime together. It’s a lifetime of committing to love, honor, cherish without end…to be there for better or worse. It represents vows and work and fun and joy and yes, even suffering together. So let’s celebrate it with some lovely shots, giving that ring a hint of the personalities behind it! Here are ten engagement rings from the 2016 engagement sessions…

A ring within a natural habitat…

There’s nothing like a classic Mrs. Box to show off that pretty bling.

A ring atop a paper flower from Creations by DGB and a beautiful dress for a background…what’s not to love?

Again, the fabric of a dress makes a gorgeous backdrop with rich texture and color.

How about a fallen leaf in Old Town Alexandria for a ring the groom took special steps to obtain?!

There are so many beautiful colors in Meadowlark Gardens and here is no exception…

The William and Mary logo in stone for an alumni couple!

Some classic Silk and Willow ribbon and a Mrs. Box…mmmm…

Look at this beautiful side diamond on a beautiful fall treasure!

And a solitaire looks excellent on yellow!
