Mother of the Bride, are you getting excited about your sweet couple getting their engagement photos done? Professional photographers have gotten very creative in capturing all the love and anticipation of an engaged couple so it’s fun to look forward to the great shots he or she will come up with.

I love everything about the shot above that showcases the engagement ring. The couple showing off the ring by loosely holding hands with the bride-to-be’s hand on top of her fiancé’s. The casual feel of the photo with the happy couple dressed in jeans. The bokeh  background that allows the couple’s hands to be the focus of the photo. And the black and white finish that helps highlight the sparkle of the ring. It’s all perfect, isn’t it?

Why not suggest this shot to your darling daughter, MOB? I bet she will love it. And you will score some big MOB points for suggesting it. Gotta love a win-win like that!
