Shiny Trinkets

I'm a naughty girl. I admit it. I like to play with things. Like a crow, trinkets have always caught my eye.

What's better than trinkets? Shiny trinkets. They capture my imagination. The saying "all that glitters is not gold" is not even in my phrase dictionary. (Yes, my mind is so narrow that it even requires a phrase dictionary).

My favorite moment at every wedding is when the bride and groom slip off their rings and hand them over for me to get the "ring shots". Like a toddler who has just gotten away with a fistful of gummy bears from the candy jar, I scamper off to play.



It's cliche, but I love the traditional "rings with the flowers" thing. There is something that just works about that (hence the reason it's been done to death).

Still, I like it. :-)



And of course, there's the whole "rings with the guestbook/invitations/marriage license" routine. Nothing new or original there either. But like I said earlier. It just...works.



In this case, I wanted to try something different. Personally, I really liked how it turned out. Even my husband thought it was neat!



When I saw the diamonds that had been spread around the wedding cake, I could not resist this shot. I think this was probably my favorite of them all.



This angle's not too bad either. ;)

Don't even get me started on cake photos...

Clutterbug

I am a clutterbug. I collect things. My favorite things to collect, of course, are often the most expensive. Since my D90 has been "out of the picture", I have been pining away to get a new camera. I was fortunate enough to come up with two new DSLRs.

Looks like I will be shooting Olympus and Nikon from now on!
