2013 Wedding Ring Bling

Being an artist, I can’t help but always try to find a more creative way to to depict the various objects and wedding moments throughout the course of a wedding or engagement session. When you photograph the amount of beautiful wedding rings that I typically handle throughout the year, you have two options, do it simply and quickly, or see each couple’s set of rings as an opportunity and challenge to be creative and artistic. The pictures you see below are a result of this constant effort to keep things fresh and new. Enjoy, feel free to tell me your favorites in the comments at the bottom of the page!

This shot above is not an easy one to set up. It usually takes a few tries and some very steady hands!This shot above is of the rings on a layer of necklaces laid out on a bed. I wanted a soft specular background for the rings.I love the purple background for this shot, provided by a couch at the venue the bride was getting ready at. AND it matched the bridemaid’s dresses.This get this beautiful backdrop for the rings I laid them on Rachel’s mother’s handbag. I love golden sunset lighting!Awesome fall colors!As soon as I saw this white plant I knew how I wanted to photograph Rossana’s engagement ring.Ice on ice. This is one of the rare times I used an off camera flash for a ring shot.Melanie and Adam had their wedding in a library so I thought it was fitting to bring books into this photograph.Another example of bringing a wedding theme into a ring photograph. Megan and Dave were married not far from the beach with their venue actually overlooking the ocean.
This was another rather difficult photograph that required some very steady hands!More steady hands required.And we finish things off with another beautiful sunset lit photograph. Thanks for taking a look, let me know your favorites in the comment area!
