The Rings



Another tradition in wedding photography is to photograph the rings, and many photographers study this very intently. By their very nature, jewelry tends to provide many reflections and spectral highlights that make them difficult to photograph. More than simply a "product shot," though, in wedding photography we must place the rings in some sort of context. I think these elements from Spence's uniform and the wedding invitation really put the rings in context for the day's event.



This is a standard that I've come to really like. If the light's just right, rings in the spine of a bible will form a shadow in the shape of a heart. Instead of a bible, I used a hymnal, since there was a dated entry that helps tie back to the wedding day itself.
