[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Whether you\u2019ve just gotten engaged and can\u2019t wait to show off your new ring or suspect a proposal is imminent, it\u2019s important to know how to take a great ring selfie and boast on your new bling!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some tips on how to perfectly capture a stunning engagement ring selfie:<\/span><\/p>\n

Good Lighting is Key<\/span><\/h2>\n

Having good lighting is the main rule of thumb for pretty much any photo, but it is especially important when you are trying to capture a picture of your diamond. Being outside in natural lighting is the most ideal option, however, if you\u2019re unable to do so, or really want to take the photo indoors you should try to take the photo near a bright window. If the room is dim or has fluorescent or yellow bulbs the photo will likely turn our blurry and grainy. Natural sunlight is the way to go with diamonds. Also, don\u2019t forget to pay attention to shadows when taking pictures so they don\u2019t detract from your ring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Know Your Ring<\/span><\/h2>\n

Everyone\u2019s engagement ring is different. Just because your girlfriend was able to take a stunning photo of her ring from a certain angle doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll have success capturing an identical photo. Try taking photos at different angles until you determine the one that highlights it best. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Do Your Nails<\/span><\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t need to get an Instagram worthy manicure before showing off <\/span>your engagement ring in photos. But it is a good idea to get your nails done before you start snapping photos. Try a bright color that really pops and shows off your ring, or if you prefer a more classic look, go for subtle, neutral toned nails.<\/p>\n

If you are caught off guard by the proposal and don\u2019t have your nails done and really want to post a picture right away get creative. Try taking a photo holding hands with your fiance, with a closed fist, or if all else fails, take a close enough shot that your nails aren\u2019t even in the photo.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4644″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Find a Fun and Exciting Backdrop & Strike a Pose<\/span><\/h2>\n

Did you get engaged on the beach? Use the ocean as a backdrop. If there are flowers nearby they can also make for a stunning backdrop, as can a sunset or any other local scenery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you found the perfect backdrop try a bunch of poses until you find the most flattering one. Get creative, be adventurous and try something new. You never know what will become the perfect shot of your engagement ring. <\/span><\/p>\n

Refrain From Zooming<\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to engagement ring poses, it may be tempting to zoom in on your pretty new ring, but since you\u2019re likely taking the photo on your camera zooming in will likely cause the picture to go out of focus and become pixelated. Instead, set up your shot and tap the screen to focus the lens. It\u2019s also a good idea to use either a Bluetooth remote or your earbuds to snap the photo instead of tapping on the screen itself.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4645″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Take a Ton of Photos<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019ll get the perfect shot on the first try. The only way to capture that perfect photo is by taking lots and lots of photos of your ring. Then take your time to go through them and find the best one. If none are great, then see what angles, positions, and poses looked best and then perfect them. <\/span><\/p>\n

Edit the Photo Before Posting<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are tons of apps and photo filters available both free and paid to edit your images. Even a little editing will go a long way in elevating your photo quality. Don\u2019t be shy to try a bunch of different things to see what works best and really make your ring pop!<\/span><\/p>\n

Write the Perfect Facebook or Instagram Engagement Ring Caption<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now that you\u2019ve finally captured that perfect photo of your new engagement ring, it\u2019s time to caption it. Write something that is true to you and your fiance and captures the essence of your relationship. It can be lighthearted and fun to sweet and romantic. Whatever you decide on, take your time to get it just right.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
