Angling for the most stunning geometric engagement rings we could find

We posted a delicious geometric engagement ring set over on Instagram the other day and could not stop talking about it. It cast a spell on us all and I couldn’t stop myself from deep diving into looking up more like it. From hexagonal diamonds to kite-shaped gemstones to intricate and bold angular settings, there’s a ring here that will stop your heart.

Captain America & Peggy Carter: an iconic Marvel comics engagement shoot

Have you all seen Avengers: Infinity War yet?! If you’re still waiting, here’s a little treat to tide you over…

After seven years of dating, Sean proposed to Jess while on an Alaskan Cruise with both of their families. While planning their engagement shoot, they wanted something out of the box that celebrated one of their many fandoms (they love Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and all things Marvel!). Years ago, Sean had gifted his bride-to-be with Marvel’s Peggy Carter’s signature red fedora. That iconic hat acted as the inspiration for this Marvel comics engagement shoot.

When you think of engagement shoots, you might automatically think of backdrops like local parks, forests, and murals. But what if you’re more of a Netflix-watching, cuddling on the couch type? That’s why I LOVED these casual, loving, and intimate at-home engagement photos of Jordan and David.

Fall in love with these women at their Chilean engagement shoot at La Vega Central Market

Camila is a makeup artist and Pilar is a visual artist who live in Santiago, Chile. Their Chilean engagement shoot was seriously destined to be an exercise in creativity, light, and contrasts. When they got engaged, they wanted to celebrate with gorgeous photos in chic outfits among the bustle of the La Vega Central Market in Santiago. When I saw it? Fireworks, y’all. The suspenders, the hairstyles, and the gritty meets colorful meets slick backdrop made my day. I’m sure it will make yours, too.
