"One such shot is the ring shot. It is what’s known as a detail shot, and while this may not be the most important shot of the wedding, it is one of the shots that helps sets the tone of an album, and can allow for a lot of creativity if you have the time.
Some more cliche than others. The one that always comes to mind is a shot of the rings resting on the invitation. My preference is to find something personal that connects the rings to the bride and groom, or else I’ll pull something from the theme of the day. It may take some digging with your clients to find that personal connection- maybe a story about how they met, or something they share together, but once you find it, it can make shooting the ring shot a lot more fun. If I can’t find a personal connection, I’ll use flowers, the bouquet, or a even a champagne cork. Be creative. There are a lot of ways to photograph wedding rings that will make them stand out.
Photographing Weddings can test your ability with natural lighting, moving figures and clashes of colors. But say shooting the rings in an individual format, whether it be sea shells or bullets. This caught my eye for an idea, for the next time a friend of mine asks me to shoot their wedding. Between a macro lens and using an off-flash or if the event is fast paced, reflectors can become a big help.
