If you thought your proposal was magnificent, just wait until you see these photos.

These couples took their engagement photos to extraordinary heights and now they've made it into the 'Best of the Best Engagement Photo Contest' 2016, with the winner being chosen by Junebug Weddings.

The spectacular images, which would inspire even the most cynical of people thinking of tying the know, feature couples riding fairground rides, being lovey-dovey in front of epic landscapes and even paddle boarding during their proposals.

Each year Junebug Wedding chooses 50 unique engagement shots to celebrate the artistry of engagement photography that capture the raw emotion of the special moment.

This year, the competition - which has been running for four years - went through seven rounds of judging after receiving thousands of entries from around the world.

Take a look at some of the entries below:

Inside warzone suburb where gangs of feral yobs aged 9 terrorise locals
Terrified residents say their once quiet suburb has been turned into a "warzone" by gangs of feral yobs - including some as young as nine. Young tearaways regularly steal from shops, pelt peoples' homes with eggs and steal cars for so-called 'joyrides'. Locals living in Wollescote, Stourbridge, West Mids., say they can't sleep with many installing CCTV cameras to make sure their homes are safe. Police have been called in to patrol local buses after several were vandalised by teen gangs who residents say now "rule the area". Londis worker Yamuna Ramakrishnan, 21, said she was plagued by shoplifters on a daily basis. She said: "The kids steal chocolate and whatever else they can fit in their pockets. "They also take other other things from nearby shops and put them in our shop for a prank. They took chairs and put them in our shop. “It’s been happening for more than four months. They usually come usually around 8pm. “They also smash up nearby shop doors. We call police but they run away. “They just come in and disturb the customers. They don’t allow the customers to come inside.” Last week a group of youngsters stole a car and crashed into a homeowner’s Nissan Juke and demolished his wall. CCTV footage shows the stolen Honda 4x4 careering along the road before losing control and ploughing into the parked car on Worton Road.
