I got an e-mail from The Turtle Love Committee blog saying that they had seen a picture of our nontraditional rings and wanted to do a profile on my husband and I for their website. Dave and I then took some better pictures of our rings for the article. I'll be sure to link to it once it goes up!

After my wedding ring post on Friday, I received a great question from a bride in the comments, and I thought I'd turn this into an extended post for everyone out there who's working with a point & shoot camera and looking to get a great shot of their engagement or wedding ring to share with friends and family!!

I can pretty much guarantee that at some point on your wedding day, someone is going to ask to see your wedding ring (because I'm usually there when they ask!). This is true for both the bride and the groom. I used to think it was so gauche- like they were sizing up the rock or something. But now I understand that it's really more about how people make their rings unique and personal. I know I love seeing everyone's wedding rings because I just love design!! It's one of those little things that you can really customize to represent who you are and what you love- like a little symbolic gift that you get to enjoy every day. I don't always get a chance to photograph the wedding rings off the couple's hand (especially when couples are having such a great time partying), but when I do get the chance, I try to pair rings up with things that really represent the uniqueness of the wedding. So, here are some of my favorite ring shots so far and if you're just dying to see tons of cool wedding rings, or if you need jewelry design inspiration, definitely check out http://www.rocktographers.com which is an entire blog dedicated to wedding ring awesomeness. Seeing some of the unique rings out there totally makes me want to redesign mine for my next anniversary!!
