The Best Engagement Portrait category is probably my favorite. Actually, I get asked often what my favorite thing to photograph is, and my answer is always engagement pictures. I love being an engagement picture photographer because it gives me time to get to know my couples. By connecting with them during the engagement shoot, it makes our task of creating beautiful, meaningful art on the wedding day so much easier.
We plan a lot before we ever start the engagement session. The couple and I planned the images behind these Best Engagement Portrait nominees down to the location and outfits well before we started shooting. We look at when the sun sets to set our time, and pair the outfits from the couples with locations. I have a lot of fun styling these sessions, and love when the couple gets involved in that process.

Other Benny Awards Categories:
Best Engagement Portrait Nominees
Best Wedding Portrait Nominees
And this year, I’m adding in two non-wedding portrait categories for your voting pleasure! While I’ve primarily been a wedding photographer for the past decade, many of my couples have gone on to have families. As my family and portrait clients have grown, I’ve felt an increasing need to represent them in the Benny Awards! This year I broke it into two categories:
Best Family and Baby Portrait Nominees
Senior and Style Portrait Nominees

What are the Benny Awards?
Dale from Benfield Photography throws The Benny Awards party each year for his couples. At the party, the winners earn real prizes for each category, such as best wedding kiss and best wedding shoes. Also, this year Dale added two non-wedding categories because so many of this clients are already married and he wanted them to be represented.
