An Ode to the Ring Shot

An Ode to the Ring Shot,

which has become a staple in wedding and engagement photography.  Now more than ever, you see the trend of photographers to highlight the details of the day, the candid moments between loved ones, and the sweet joy of the first looks, rather than the family formals or "composed" shots.

I was going through my parent's wedding album, and it was laced with white and blue tuxes (you heard me), peach flowers and so much lace.  So much lace and peach.  I fondly looked at their ring photo, which was two hands gracefully laid on another, in between two lit candles, with the wedding cake underneath.

That's not what we want these days, so as a thank you to the many lovebirds I've had the honor of photographing this year, I wanted to share a few of my favorites.  Here's to many more to come!
