Shooting the details at a wedding is very important, and also allows you to be creative and capture images that can add that extra sparkle to an album. In the B & H sponsored video below, Robert Harrington provides some great tips for photographing all the little details during a wedding day.
REWIND: 7 MUST-HAVE SHOTS WHEN SHOOTING WEDDING RECEPTION DETAILS
Techniques
Robert does a great job explaining some very simple, yet effective techniques to create beautiful detail shots. His simple technique of shooting the rings and shoes on or against contrasting back grounds is a very effective way to make the details pop in the image. His thoughts on not taking hundreds of photos of the same thing is important to remember. There are a lot of detail shots to be made and you need to be as efficient as possible to capture all of them.
Thoughts
I really enjoyed the tips and tricks Robert mentions in this video. I feel that his tips are simple, effective, and produce great results. I highly suggest that you practice shooting details on your own at home. It’s very easy to set up some rings, flowers, shoes, and maybe even a cake to refine your techniques and be very efficient on the actual wedding day.

Ring shots are great. Just remember to give the rings back to the bride in groom in front of a witness or two :)
