1st Pick: Alissa + Ben
We have SO many gorgeous photographs from Alissa and Ben’s wedding, I had a hard time picking just one! I think it is for that very reason that this simple detail shot was my 1st Pick.
Alissa and Ben each have only one ring — no flashy engagement ring PLUS an additional wedding band for Alissa! I love the uniqueness of her ring. It speaks volumes about this couple, who did everything the topsy-turvy way for their wedding. (E.g., we’re shooting their E-Shoot on Thursday — a few weeks AFTER the wedding! Yeah, they’re doing their own thing! We love Alissa and Ben to death, and we feel VERY luck to get to spend more time with them after their wedding day.)
Dan photographed their rings on top of a bright green lime with the white tablecloth as a background. Simple, simple, simple. But also a little topsy-turvy in itself, with some odd negative space and the shallow depth-of-field. I think it’s a pretty perfect ring shot for these two!

Notes: 1/60 sec at f/2.0, ISO 800, 35mm, daylight





I love the color green, so that’s the first thing I noticed!
Hi Dan and Anne,

YIPPEE SKIPPEE! I’ve been checking the blog since returning from Mehico and was pleasantly surprised today!

You two are dope (am I cool enough to bring that word back?).
Excited to hang with you Thursday!
What a lovely shot! Her ring is so beautiful!
