Love

Can there be any greater symbol of enduring love between two people than the exchanging of rings?

I've known Rebecca for 30 years in March of next year, and we've been married for 23. I love her today more than ever.

I feel I should clarify my commentary after receiving congratulations from a number of you already. This shot was for the November list theme and today's word is love. It isn't my wedding anniversary today ;)) thanks all the same though:))

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

You ol' softy... getting all sentimental :) Nice shot and you guys are going for a record these days :) Congratulations on your awesomeness combined :)

[Michelle Blackford]

Congratulations! What a sweet post! This is a gorgeous shot.

[Marie]

Beautiful words and capture. Congrats on 30 years!

[Hubregt Visser]

Great shot and caption. I like your studio shots. I guess you are using more than one strobe and off camera?

[👑 AnaZad]

Great shot of your wedding rings. Rebecca is lucky to have a husband who expresses his feelings and give value to her as you are doing it.

[Cathy Donohoue]

Beautiful shot Sean. And you know that you are blessed.
I would frame this one for her for a gift.

[KWind]

Beautiful shot! Congrats on your years together.

[Simply Amanda]

Love Cathy's idea above! @cdonohoue

Sweet words and beautiful image, Sean. Happy Anniversary!

[Caryn]

Simple and gorgeous...

[Pat Knowles]

Oh lovely Sean & didn't you pick well!!!!! There is nothing more blessed than a happy marriage!!! Can't get over how your rings are such a perfect round still with no out of shape bits like mine!!!! Lovely focus BTW !

[Paul Godfrey]

Great shot and congratulations too.

[Danny G.]

Stunning shot and I am so happy for both of you that you have kept your love so strong over three decades - it is a very difficult thing (often impossible) to do for many people.

[Sarah]

[Debbie]

[Livia]

Beautiful sentiments, beautiful shot. 8)

[Leslie]

wonderful shot

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

An apparently simply shot but I know it can't have been easy to achieve this stunning shot. I love the way the rings seem to be melting into one another (trick of the reflection at the front I think!) Beautiful.

[Jennie Cole]

What a stunning shot, wonderful lighting, simple but very effective and I bet not that easy to set up, getting a final result like this.

@ozziehoffy @tryeveryday @marieooi @hjv @anazad511 @anazad511 @cdonohoue @kwind @amandalomonaco @cmc1200 @happypat @godders @soboy5 @strachs @stoat @myautofocuslife @lesip @tishpics @esolvideosuk I really appreciate your lovely comments. Sorry to have misled some of the earlier commenters. It isn't our anniversary today, that was back in August. This shot was taken for the November list theme, today's word is Love. To answer the questions, this was shot on a piece of white fabric. I used my Lastolite (light on a stand) to light from 45 degrees and above.I slightly overexposed to get the high key and melting one ring into another affect, the latter being a little lucky! I am flattered by all your praise. The shot took about 5 minutes to set up and take.
