Creative Wedding Shot Idea

[Noel_Carboni]

I just ran across a wedding shot I thought was a cut above in creativity and I wanted to share it here. It is a shot that looks to be fairly easily done (no people involved!), that some of you might want to add to your packages.

Specifically, it was a shot with the two wedding rings standing on end over the spine of an open book, and the whole scene backlit, which caused the rings to throw heart-shaped shadows!

You can see the image here (it's labeled 06.jpg):

I'll have to put that one in my "swipe file".

Noel, Thanks for sharing that picture. We all have seen the rings on the flowers but that is a very clever approach.

I imagine the book is significant as well, except it's in Swedish or Finnish and I can't tell what the content is. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the Bible.

I've done this before, using I Cor. 13 as the Bible passage. That chapter is used much at weddings.

I think it is Estonian, the Bible, I Corinthians 13 so far as I can tell.

Neither the book, the language, or the passage are germaine, the image is 2 cuts above the usual ring shot.
