The last thing a woman wants is to have is a magnificent looking ring on her finger with chipped nail polish or a broken nail. Before you take any selfies, go to your favorite local nail salon and get a manicure as stunning as your engagement ring.

2. Pick a Pretty Background

The background of the photo should not be overlooked! A memorable background of where you were, what the weather was like, can help capture the moment. Did your fiancé take you to a special place? Show everyone the pretty and romantic spot your fiancé popped the question.

3. No Flash Photography

You want your ring to sparkle, right? Don’t use flash photography. The flash will most likely wash out the color in the photo and won’t come out clear. Depending on the weather, we suggest that you wait an hour or so before a sunset when your ring and skin will looks it’s best.

4. Focus, Don’t Zoom

It is tempting to get an up close and personal picture of your engagement ring, but don’t use the zoom function. The zoom function on phones today distorts the clarity and the ring will not look its best. Take the picture zoomed out fully, you can always crop excess background later.

5. Try different angles

What makes your ring unique? Take a close look at any special and interesting aspects of the ring. Try taking photos at a few different angles to really get a sense of what makes it special. If your fiancé designed a custom engagement ring just for you, with an engraving or special setting, here is the perfect time to show everyone how special it is!

6. Take a lot of pictures, but only use one

Of course, you want to get the best picture you can to show off this unforgettable moment in your life, but pick one perfect picture. The one picture that encapsulates the love and excitement you feel about your partner and the life your are going to live together.
