With my focus switching to my upcoming weddings, I wanted to experiment a little with one of the more fun shots – the rings! I only had mine to play around with for these, but it was a fun challenge none the less.
Gone are the days of traditional rings-on-fingers-draped-over-bouquet photos. Well, they’re gone if you hire me as your wedding photographer. I like to spice things up, push the limits and make the ring shot super fun. As always with my photos, I like to personalize them around WHO the couple is. I like to bring in texture, color, details, etc. After all, the rings are a big part of the day and the deed, so why not add a little something special to let them stand out?
As a side note, I have been receiving a lot of photographer’s questions through email, facebook and elsewhere. I have come up with a place to let everyone who has them ask their question and perhaps see if someone else asked something else they’d like to know. The answers are there for everyone to see, but as always, I never claim to know everything or even know the RIGHT way. I just know what has worked for me and if you’re a photographer interested in how I do things, feel free to head over to my formspring and ask your question or see if it’s already been answered.
Here are just a few of my favorites, all shot using small details around our home.
This shot isn’t so “pretty”, but it is completely me. I love skulls, anatomy and pretty things.
I love the butterfly here. Once again, maybe not so pretty, but the ring stands out!
I love all of the textures and colors here.
This shot is completely Andy. 
Just a classic pretty photo of the ring and jewelry.
