Wedding Rings for the New YearThursday, January 20th, 2011
Photographing wedding rings is really a fun job for me. It can be a challenge to find a little location at a wedding venue that is unique to the wedding. I will try to photograph the wedding rings with the flowers for the wedding, the bouquet, perhaps the wedding cake, the decorations and maybe even just some of the textures of the building.
In this case I used the mini Christmas trees that decorated the tables – this particular tree was behind the wedding cake. A wedding photographer has to have a macro lens. You might be able to get away using some other lens or close up rings but you need a good macro lens. Fortunately, I have the amazing Canon 100mm f/2.8 IS macro. That bad boy is sharp as a tack!

I also use an off camera flash setup so the lighting is fully controlled by me. I usually won’t use natural light unless there is a compelling look I can create. This photograph may not make it to the wedding album. There is another photograph that has a more sentimental use of the wedding rings. I won’t share that photograph for now – maybe I will when I show off the wedding album.
So brides, be ready to had over your wedding ring while you and your new husband are eating – don’t worry – your rings are in good hands and they will look amazing after their own little photo shoot.
And be sure to have some beautiful wedding details so they act as a backdrop to the photographs.
