Wedding Blog
… and it worked! I read an interesting post on Weddingbee’s new sister site, WeddingbeePRO about how to take pictures of your wedding band and engagement ring. WeddingbeePRO is comprised of bloggers who are all wedding professionals within the industry. Their behind-the-scenes perspectives are proving to be super fun and helpful, too!
Check out Anne Ruthmann’s post on taking pictures of your ring. I had a few spare minutes to play around with my own ring. Here’s what happened when I used our Samsung point and shoot to snap a couple of pics.
This one was one of my favorites. Mostly because it wasn’t blurry!
I went crazy with the “contrast” option when editing this one. I wanted to try and achieve a funky, more edgy photographic style. (Listen to me trying to sound like I know what I’m talking about! Hahaha!)
I had so much fun doing this and it wasn’t hard at all. Give it a try… you’ll feel like a pro! Thanks, Anne Ruthmann of Anne Ruthmann Photography.

Woah girl! These are probably the most “pro” non pro ring shots I have ever seen! High five Miss G, and Anne Ruthmann too! I loved that post (AND this one TOO!)
Wow those turned out goooood girl! You’ve inspired me to try 
Your picture looks great!!
I wish Anne’s instructions had been around when Bee first posted a photo of her engagement ring. She got a comment that said, “YOUR RING IS GORGEOUS, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN YOUR NAILS DONE BEFORE YOU TOOK A PICTURE OF YOUR HAND.”
We quote that line all the time around the Bee household!
wow that looks awesome!!! maybe i’ll take some pics of my ring this weekend - you’ve inspired me!
lol I read her post too and Ive been wanting to take some pics of my ring…i think i might put it on one of my teddy bears…or maybe next to something with butterflies on it! Very nice pics!
So cute! I tried this out too after reading her post, mine came out blurry because I didn’t completely follow them I read tehm quickly, I want to try again. Yuors look so great!
@Anne: Like the title of the post suggests, I simply followed your fabulous instructions!! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.
@Mr. Bee: Hahahaha!!!
@Mrs. Bee: Thank you! Definitely give it a try sometime!
@Anonymous: The majority of my pics were blurry. Don’t give up, some will come out clear. It helped me to balance the camera on a stack of books and steady my arm.
I finally got a chance to play this weekend with taking some photos…now I have to play with effects on them, but here are some shots for now: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anthonylinda/sets/72157611189820665/

@Miss Glitter: can you share with us how long it took you to do this? I just saw a girl who did like 10 or more different set-ups with her ring, and I’m going to guess that it took her most of the day!! How about you?
@Anne: If you were talking about my setups it took me an hour max, if even that long. =D
@Lillindy: Whoa, very nice! I love all your background props. Very creative!
@Anne: It took me a couple of hours from beginning to end. I fiddled with a few background props and ended up using the gold top of a glass jar candle I had. Then the light was the trickiest part. My pictures kept coming out blurry or the light would fade out the entire shot. So I spent some time moving around our condo trying to catch the correct light. Once the camera was able to focus and the light was cooperating, it didn’t take long at all. It was really trial and error. I hope that helps others! By the way, Anne, I’ve had many comments on WB and my personal blog. You’ve inspired many to attempt to take pics of their rings!
@Lillindy: OMG I love your rings! I think your pictures are great.
I’m so inspired to do this too!

About Me: I was born and raised in West Los Angeles, California. I spent eight years in the Northeast working and completing my education. Having split time between two sides of the country has given me a true appreciation for both coasts. It has also provided an overabundance of cross country drives, flights and long distance relationship fun/misery! I love my family, my doggy Emma, fabulous wine, Anthropologie, politics, reading, being outdoors, exploring new cities, and good movies! My fiance and I are complete opposites, but somehow we have managed to fall completely and hopelessly in love.
