Best of 2011: Best Washington DC Engagement Features

As 2011 comes to a close, I decided [along with everyone else in the wedding vendor & blogosphere] to do a top 10 favorite Capitol Romance Engagement Features from this past year.

I cannot believe my blog is coming up on its very first birthday [blogaversary? too much?] and I also cannot really process how the blog has grown. It started with me endlessly searching the internet, email-bombing photogs, begging them to let me feature their stuff … and now I am truly honored & blessed to have photographers find me, freely submitting some of the most amazing Washington, DC area engagement features [and weddings!] that I have ever seen!

I really don’t know how I am going to narrow this down to just 10 favorites … but here is my attempt, in no particular order. On Monday we will share our Top 10 Capitol Wedding Features and on Tuesday we will do a Top 5 Best Moments of 2011 :) Enjoy!
