OH MY GOSH THAT ROCKS!!


that is so creative, i love it. i can't believe you got such a clear shot of the ring through the glass, very impressive!

That's awesome! If you didn't tell her I would LOVE to see the look on her face when she see's these!

Like I always say...Nate the Great!

That's sick Nate!!!! Awesome man!!!!! I love the colors and how the fish coordinates with them. Killer shot man.

What a cool centre piece! Very original shot with the rings, well done.

very cool!

That is the coolest ring shot ever!

Nate-
and here I thought Amanda was the one that was creative. good job!

BRILLIANT!!!

that is so cool! so creative - and awesome centerpieces too!

That is one cool ring shot!

Dang it Nate -- You are smarter than you look!!! That is pure genius!


Seriously - I am kicking my butt for not thinking of that at a wedding a few weeks ago.

SO AWESOME!!!!

THAT TOTALLY ROCKS!!!!!!!

And I think the fish is smiling in #2

I LOVE it!! How fun Nate!! So, did the bride know the day of the wedding or will it be a surprise??

Did you shoot these with a 100 macro lens?

Love it!! I think this is the coolest ring shot I've ever seen!

That's about the coolest thing ever. I can't wait to hear what the bride says. You know she had to have spent so much time coming up with a cool idea for her center pieces and to have it integrated in her photos that way is just awesome.

Ha, thanks everyone - the best part is seeing the brides face when she sees the shot (this hasn't happened yet ) It will prolly be nothing compared to the old folks at our table when they realized we had taken the rings off the couple's hands :woot: :woot: It's fun to be young(er).

you guys crack me up!!!!!

(see Nate, I knew Amanada had something to do with it) just kidding

You guys take that "pond" thing to the extreme- love it.

thats awesome. Great job

I tried this once, but was nabbed by the MOB before the first 'ker-plunk' could be heard.



These shots are so awesome to see! It's everything I thought it could be....plus your fish is way cooler than mine would'da been.

Admit it, though, you made him smile. Wait-I don't want to know. You did, right? No, don't tell me.......

So cool!

That really does rock


I thought about doing that once but the vases were really deep (like my entire arm would have been in the glass positioning thr rings) and I was afraid of getting busted.


You've totally inspired me to not care about getting busted now.

I loooooooooove it

THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME! LUV it!

I am impressed.

THAT is a cool ring shot! Love it!

"...til death do you part?"

"I do."

"Psst...hey, honey, what's that fishy smell???"

Oh that is great! Love the pp too!

Thanks y'all

Mark - fish and turtles have a special connection

Ginger - I don't think he was smiling because I was herding him around with a pen.

Melody - our motto is "don't ask, don't tell"

Dan - we took the rings at the reception, soooo.... nevermind

Or there is the saying I have heard many husbands say ( of course not mine ) ....

it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission

Great stuff, Nate! That is soooo AWESOME! I love it!

LOL about the old folks! I co-shoot with a photographer who is from an older generation and it totally cracks her up that I can get the B&G to give me their rings every time! She said she NEVER would have had the guts to ask them! LOL

Ha! Awesome idea, Nate! Great shots

Wow, what awesome shots!!

Although, I must say I always feel a little sorry for centerpiece fishies. I hope somebody takes them home and gives them a good life. (I do have two friends who took a bunch of goldfish home from their brother's wedding - they are still alive and HUGE after five years!). Especially since that's a Platy and they're not adapted well to living in still water without oxygenation. So I hope he was OK!

But the shots are amazing.

Hey, maybe I need to invent and patent a long, plastic ring hook for just this purpose. Wouldn't it be a lot easier than dunking your arm? It could be telescoping, so it could cope with any vase.

great idea! love the shots

AWESOME! You guys are so creative. I wouldn't have wanted to stick my hand in the fishy water hehe....these are really cool though.

+1
Love it!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these shots!

I love it - it looks like the fish is conspiring with you!

Thanks ladies


Libby - we took two home last year. We named them after our b&g. When the 'groom' (fish that is) committed suicide, we let the 'bride' go free. We had a good laugh over it with the couple

Now THAT is an inspired ring shot, lol, very cool!

Thanks Amy

I love 'em, but I want to see the shot of the fish when you are getting them out!

Geanette

pure brilliance!
