I'm not quite sure what the tradition is behind using a ring to signify promise and commitment. Nor do I know why gold and a precious stone is typically what an engagement ring is made of. What I do know is that the person who you commit to marrying had got to be one of a kind and very special. So special that you cannot picture your life without this person being in it and that your promise to her through it, is a seal of commitment that you want to spend the rest of your life with her.
In this photo is the engagement ring for my future wife. Though I've photographed quite a few of them in my time and understood the concept behind it, it's never felt so real as it feels right now and it's never meant so much to me as does now. I promise to be true to you, to give you my heart, now and forever through the end of my time.
