We love seeing couples show off their personalities in their wedding and engagement photos, and those who go for underwater photos have us totally charmed and channeling our inner mermaid. Whether you’re near an ocean or a lap pool, the murky blue background and diffused light give photos a magical look. Take a dive into 15 of our favorite photo shoots that would make Ariel jeal.
