Your partner popped the question, you said yes – and now it’s time to share your news with the world. So how do you take the perfect engagement ring selfie? We’ve pulled together some of our favourite customer photos to create the ultimate guide to a picture-perfect engagement. Read on for our top tips.

1. Prep your nails :-

If you have the slightest suspicion that a proposal might be in the works, make sure that your nails are up to the task. Whether it’s a pop of bright colour, a classic French manicure or a dash of nail art, you’ll want your hands to be freshly manicured and ready for their close-up.

2. Use a prop:-

When you’re posing for the camera, it can be difficult to know what to do with your hands, especially when your ring finger is meant to be the center of attention. This is where props can be helpful. Pouring champagne into a glass, as seen here, or even simply holding a coffee cup will add character and make your pictures feel more natural.

3. Capture the backdrop:-

Your ring selfie is more than an announcement; it’s also a treasured reminder of when, and where, your proposal took place. Maybe you jetted off to Paris; maybe it was in your back garden. No matter where it happened, make sure to get that skyline, waterfall or cathedral in shot.

4. Get the right lighting:-

When it comes to engagement photos, a diamond ring is generally the star of the show. You’ll want to catch the sparkle of your diamond in all its glory, so pay attention to the lighting. Sunset proposals create a beautiful warm glow, while natural light will reveal your diamond at its best.
