In my career in photography, I’ve chosen not to focus on weddings
as a business model. I try to avoid
being “traditional” in my approach to weddings, mixing traditional shots or
types of shots with my own approach.
Ring shots are an important aspect of wedding photography. Besides the fact that clients pay a whole lot of cash for them, they’re important because of their significance as a symbol of their union. And as such, they tell an aspect of the wedding day story that’s unmatched by any of the other wedding details, like the bride’s shoes even the bouquet and garter.
Gone are the days of boring ring shots! An example:
There are many ways to go about these types of shots, some more cliche than others. The one that always comes to mind is a shot of the rings resting on the invitation, or the rings resting on a bouquet. My preference is to find something personal that connects the rings to the couple.
Ring shots are often my most fun shot of the day. There’s no one stressing about their hair or makeup, and no one trying to pull their attention in a different direction. The couple does not have to look into the camera and smile on command, which makes for a perfect time to de-stress and relax.
