One of the first thing that I shoot during weddings are the rings. When I arrive at the hotel room or house of the bride, it's either they haven't had their make-up on or make-up is in progress. I start off shooting the accessories such as invitation, cord, bible, etc. This is also the time when my energy is fully charged.

http://www.anseldeilara.com/pics2/ring.jpg

This is the classic way to do it. Put it on top of the invitation or bouquet. I do this kind of shot in all of my weddings.

Due to popularity of butterfly release in weddings, it makes a good shot to include the butterfly.

http://www.anseldeilara.com/dwf/dinolara109.jpg

As an alternative to invitation, souvenir card or name tags is also a good background.

http://www.anseldeilara.com/dwf/dinolara117.jpg

What can I say? It's really an honor learning from a master... Please continue Dino. Awesome imagery. :)

In addition: Just a bit more... I hope some of your style rubs on me. :) Nice shots really.

My groom has this Lord of the Rings chess set.

http://www.anseldeilara.com/dwf/dinolara118.jpg

The beauty of doing the preparation in bride's house is we see a lot of thing you won't see in a hotel room.

I placed the rings in the corkboard together with the invitation.

http://www.anseldeilara.com/dwf/dinolara127.jpg

You can also create dramatic light to enhance the look.

Another Lord of the Rings shot.

http://www.anseldeilara.com/pics2/rose-ryan-01.jpg

Two rings to ruls them all. :)

We had Gonut Donuts served during the prep. I used it just to make something different. :)

http://www.anseldeilara.com/pics2/Pattie-Tim-0018.jpg

Seeing those donuts makes me hungry... Gotta get me "Brunch" :)

and of course, the shot that made me famous back in 2002. This is the most imitated and most requested shot to date.

http://www.dinolara.com/images/b11s.jpg

Thanks Earl. :)

For newbies and wedding photographer wannabees, this is something you can do to practice. Borrow wedding rings from your brother or sister or friends and be as creative as you can be.

Mr. Dino,

Did you use macro lens to shoot these rings? What kind of lens? I have a Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO Macro Super II but it doesn't take a 1:1 macro.

Thanks,

Marco

yupyup! most imitated talaga hehehe... my mentor requires this pose in almost all our shoots and always says: "wag kalimutan mag-dino lara" :Grin:

sir dino, your wedding rings photos are all so inspiring... thanks so much for sharing those photos... next time i shoot for my boss, iisipin ko na lang si sir dino ang boss ko and i could be most creative as i could be instead of thinking what my boss always tells me: "di na masasama sa album yang ganyan kaya wag na ganyan"...:(

thanks again sir dino!

-bry

Thanks Bry. A lot of my favorite shots don't land in the final album. But don't be discouraged to do something creative. It's playing that makes our job easier. :)

I use Sigma 105 macro for really close-up shot. But most of the shot posted were done using normal lens. Your 70-300 might be too long for close-up shot. Most ring shot are done inside the room, so your aperture and focal length might not be suitable.

good day sir dino, those were really excellent shots, those are the compositions and lighting i'm still lacking. i've read somewhere in yahoo groups that you're having a workshop this coming september focusing about wedding. are there still slots available? i'm from here in pangasinan and willing to attend that workshop.

excellent! :D

sir dino, do you bring a strobe on a portable stand sa wedding shoots mo....your lighting is obviously off camera.....

Dino, nice bumping into you last weekend. thanks for the tips and keep 'em coming. Paano na ang mga newbies kung wala ang mga taong katulad mo :)

Hi Michael,

You may check the details here of Mr. Dino Lara wedding workshop...pls reserve your slot asap because we focus on small group and quality workshop at OWG, good day=)

Thanks. It really takes a little practice to do such ligthing. As you do it, you'll find yourself playing until you can come up with more creative shot.

OT: Please coordinate directly with One Workshop Group c/o Ross. We are trying to limit the number of participants so we can have more sharing as possible.

sir dino, do you bring a strobe on a portable stand sa wedding shoots mo....your lighting is obviously off camera.....

Sometimes. Most of the time I use window light to do my ring shots. If I know the videographer, I borrow their lights. The best lighting I've used is Dedolight.

Dino, nice bumping into you last weekend. thanks for the tips and keep 'em coming. Paano na ang mga newbies kung wala ang mga taong katulad mo :)

Thanks everybody. What I really want to happen is you guys all share your ring shot here in this thread. We'll definitely learn from each other. Please post your ring shots here. It doesn't have to be from actual wedding.

@James Limsoc

I really like the concept, ang galing ng texture and color combination ng ring at flower petals, and bokeh is terrific!

It does not have to be supersharp right...

Or how about an explosion of saturation...
http://www.earlgonzalez.com/Orangeburst.jpg

What's important for me is that the couple liked it... :)

WOW! Super colors. :)

I'll share a couple of wedding ring shots that I did..

Here's my share. Taken in the church while the ring bearer was holding it, using available light.

Nice colors guys, adding color saturation sometimes gives a lot of impact on the picture.

Hi Earl!

Actually I followed his advice and did some saturation and curves adjustments on my photo and there was a big difference. Here (http://www.f3mphotography.com/images/DigiPhoto/DSC_1971.jpg)'s the original untouched photo. Or maybe I just didn't know what I was doing at the time... :(

Cheers!

Yup I noticed the difference. :) I hope no one misinterprets my statement... Of course adjustments in post processing are definitely a plus. But you can also definitely capture something which is bursting with saturation even without the aid of Photoshop etc... Sometimes it depends on your technique and how well you know your gear... :Grin:

PS: Coming from a post-processing-super-freak like me, I know it's hard to believe... But it's true... :D

I agree with you on that, but really sometimes it all depends on what your clients will prefer and having more knowledge in post processing area really helps,and being able to produce shots that doesn't require much processing is still the best.

Still learning, its really a never ending learning process.

Great posts guys!

Hello Mr. Karl,

Your (and Mimi's) works are one of the best I've seen! I'm an admirer and I visit your blog site every chance I get. Though I am just wondering when you'll be updating your main website.

Cheers!

Sir I believe that was taken with 300d + 50mm 1.8 :)

I was wrong on my lens,look for the original image and found out from the exif that I was still using the kit lens that time. So that photo was taken using the 300D 18-55 kit lens :D

@ John Javellana - I like the concept of the bride showing off the rings... IMO, it might have been better if the DOF wasn't too shallow so that the bride's face wasn't too blurred. :)

yeah that's what my mentor said also! that was taken on my first outing with a 2.8 that's why i got so fascinated with the bokeh! (my mentality was the blurrier, the better!) thanks for the suggestion master earl! appreciate it! :)

Nice concept but the fact that it has a combination lock means it can still be opened. Better if it is a key lock with the keyhole covered by glue etc. Without the words, maybe it will stand, but with a different meaning (divorce possible?). He he he. It's just me. :Grin:

Cool, brilliant concept. Nicely done with the Corinthians 13 background.

This thread reminded me of a shot my partner and I came up with some time ago. It's a similar idea, but a different execution. :)

http://www.shutterbug.ph/rings_bw.jpg

The idea of putting the rings on top of Bible passage occured to me then, and while I was setting it up, my partner suggested using his keychain light for some emphasis on the rings and the Marriage passage. :)

@ems
nice concept. I can see a heart as rings shadow.

@dinolara

Hi John, glad you liked my ring shot. I just shot this with available light and later post-processed it & adding vignette using Lightroom. :)

I also liked that ring toss you got there. A nice idea that I could try one day hehe :D

I personally liked this shoot if mine from my recent wedding because of its message. The hand belongs to the baby of my couple. I placed the ring and took a shot of it when the baby was sleeping during preps.

just got married recently :) here's my take on that nice concept...

Newbie here.... Sorry for the over delayed reaction on the ring shot with heart reflection. Tried this yesterday and here's what I got... Used a hand-held flashlight to produce the reflections... :)

Surprisingly, the light also turned out as heart shape. :)
