Weddingbee Blog

Once again, I spent a boring day at home. I decided to break up the monotony by doing what so many bees before me have done: take some artistic shots of my e-ring. It’s like a rite of passage! Besides, my last mention of my ring broke the first rule of Weddingbee PRO Anne Ruthmann’s tutorial on amazing engagement ring shots. I couldn’t leave you guys with those amateur shots to remember my ring by!

So, with the help of some items laying around the house and editing on iPhoto and Picnik.com, I came up with these new photos using my Sony Cybershot!

*WARNING* My ring was being a camera whore, so you’ll have to excuse the number of photos. I took over 100 photos of her and narrowed them down to the 11 you’re about to see!

This is a picture holder with a champagne bucket base. I had to play around with the adjustable threshold in Picnik until I couldn’t see the pole for attaching a photo sticking up out of it.

Sitting in the faux flowers that hang in sconces in our living room.

Some scrapbooking supplies left over from my FSIL’s album I made for her engagement (still haven’t finished it! Eek!).

Sitting on top of crafting rhinestones. I used a focal zoom in Picnik for the effect.

This was by far the hardest photo to get. I had to use some tacky stuff (the only color I had was yellow) to keep the ring upright. I used a focal soften to draw the eye to the ring. I’m guessing the yellow down the middle is from the tacky stuff.

For these two, I used the holga-ish option on Picnik. Both of these were taken on the same picture frame.

My graduation tassel.

This one was done using the 1960s option. The ring is on a fake rose petal shaped like a heart.

Cinematic scope on Picnik. The ring is on a button I wore for New Year’s.

I used gritty & holga-ish on this. My ring is sitting on top of a picture frame that houses the first picture we took as an engaged couple!
