An age-old custom, exchanging rings is a part of many cultures’ wedding ceremonies—the United States included. Since rings symbolize never-ending love and fidelity, why not ask your photographer to take photos of yours?
Here, Milwaukee-area pros share some of their favorite ring photos. It’s not surprising, but there seem to be as many styles, settings and configurations as we have photographers!
Take a look, get inspired and scroll down to learn more about the images and the people who shot them. We know at least one of these ring photos will earn a place of honor on your Pinterest board.

By the end of high school, Ellie Martin Cliffe was completely enamored of journalism, so she chose the most logical college major possible: anthropology. Disappointed by the minimal emphasis on writing and editing, she changed tracks and earned a comm degree from Carroll College. Ellie has since tackled many facets of the field including books, magazines and the Web at places like The Knot and Reader's Digest. She now works full time in book publishing, and is thrilled to get her wedding fix with WedInMilwaukee.com. When she isn’t wielding her (red) pen, Ellie can be found in the garden, at any concert that showcases a fiddle, playing pub trivia or in the kitchen. She and her husband live in Riverwest with their hedgehog, Guinness, and grapefruit tree, Sprout.
