Ring Shots

Ring Shots | Best of 2015, Virginia Engagement + Wedding Photographer

It’s that time of the year again … Some of my favorite ring shots kicks off the series, “Best of 2015”! 🙂 So much pretty bling on the blog!!! Rings come in different shapes, sizes, colors … Basically, anything is game when it comes to finding that sentimental, striking, keep sake piece of jewelry. Sometimes the men stalks his significant other’s Pinterest account to find her ideal ring … Or sometimes he asks for an opinion from her family … Or sometimes he straight up asks for her opinion. There is no right or wrong way about the process when the reward is the word, “yes”! As for how the girl says yes is a different story! Men, if you are ever looking for inspiration, check out each story HERE! 🙂 If you didn’t know, in this industry we like to call this Holiday season, “engagement season”! This is the most romantic, cheerful time of the year! So CONGRATS to all of the newly engaged couples!!!!

Here are some of my favorite ring shots of 2015! 🙂
