Junebug Weddings just announced the winners of their annual engagement photo contest. Much to our delight, there's not a single awkward or cheesy shot in sight.

"The 2016 collection is compelling, breathtaking, and undeniably sexy," editor-in-chief Carrie Crooks said in a press release.

The team at Junebug Weddings, along with three renowned wedding photographers, sifted through more than 5,000 images from photogs in 35 countries to bring you the cream of the crop.

Below, we present 25 of our favorites. To see the collection in full, head over to the Junebug site.
