The center of any wedding is the bride and groom, but one of the most important elements of your album are the shots of the ever-important symbols of your commitment: the wedding rings. Often, your wedding photographer will get artistic with the rings, getting gorgeous shots with the props that are around, while other times you may want to bring specific items that make great ring photo accessories. Here's a list of ideas for some great ring shots.
In a flower: Show of two of your wedding elements at once. Nestle your rings in a flower, dangle them from a branch in the arrangement, or place them on a sturdy leaf. Flowers are great because they bring in the colors of your wedding and provide a natural pillow on which the rings can sit. They're also gorgeous, and the right photographer can capture floral details that rival the beauty of your rings. Showing off the view: Does your venue have the best view of the city? Use the skyline as a natural backdrop to your sparkling new hardware. On fabric: Whether it's the luxurious satin handkerchief that you're using as your "something blue" or the organic fabric being used as placemats in your eco-friendly outdoor wedding, the right fabric can say a lot about your wedding, and provide texture for the backdrop of your ring shot. Atop desserts: With so many brides doing cupcakes instead of cakes these days, the sugary treats provide the perfect resting place for your ring.
