Rings

I am seriously not a fan of this type of shot, or the other when a ring is positioned between the pages of a book and a heart is formed by it's shadow... So soppy and shaltzy...

Still... here I go, taking a shot of our wedding rings just because I thought I better had... No other reason..!

The only other photos I took today were a few of Tower Bridge, but as I've posted loads of that over the last near on 2 years, thought I should photograph something else..

Took my parents back to Hampshire this morning... for various reasons I very stressed and due to sleeping in my spare room, being damn tired, have a bad back and neckache and wondering how they hell they can stay with me prior to my wedding without me having a breakdown or doing my back in so much I won't be able to walk let alone have a first dance...!!!

Good idea to take that picture ... even if it is "soppy .... ".
How about the mattress on the floor for your back ...

[Joe Ciras]

Nice composition Andy. What a good son you are by sleeping in the spare room.

[bernadette mcelligott]

Nice shot Andy, you are so good taking the spare room, try get a relaxing tape or a bottle of gin. lol

[Helene]

because you're very talented this picture is really gorgeous Andy!

[robinwarner]

this is so special...i am so excited for you both...

[Carly]

book the hotel - otherwise you might not be talking by the time the wedding happens! :D

[Steve Hollingsworth]

still time to run Andy ...lol

[Juliette Packham]

great shot...move house quick - one that has no spare room!

[Raymond Brettschneider]

It is a very nice shot Andy, love the black and white, makes the details stand out really crisp.

[Kathy A]

Why don't you stay at the Inn?
Love Sangeeta's ring.

[Mrs. Smith]

Beautiful....try to get some rest now so you can relax.

[Elibank]

cheesy, soppy or otherwise, it's a great memory shot!

[Andrea Freeman]

They are beautiful bands Andy. Perhaps you should all stay in a hotel the night before on a comfy bed!

[Kari Rice]

Ha! The time before the wedding is super stressful. More than you would realize. I remember my in-laws came a week or two early (from England) and were totally on holiday, meanwhile I was scrambling to get everything finalized. It was not a good combination. I'm back to loving every minute with them, which is a good thing since they arrive on September 9 for 5 weeks!
And, by the way, I agree about the cheesy shots. I never want to take them and eventually, I regret that I didn't. So keep taking them.

[Margaret Warren]

Very simple and somehow relaxing, love it.

[Shannon Pitton]

Beautiful rings, you can be forgiven for doing sentimental shots as you approach the big day. Why don't you go stay in a hotel while your folks are at your place (not that I think you are made of money) but that leaves them comfortable and you a place to get away from everyone at night. Pick one specifically for a comfy bed!

[andy c]

thanks guys... hotel idea is sounding more and more appealling... @karice haha I can image it now, the in-laws all relaxed and in full on holiday mode and you stressing...
