rings

Wedding ring shoots are my passion...and each wedding my ring shots are different, just because each of my couples are different and special for me.

The wedding ring is a symbol of eternity.
It is an outward sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two hearts in endless love.

Rings in general have a deeply rooted magical significance. Enchanted rings figure in many ancient folk tales.

Incantations and spells for the protection of the wearer of rings are common motifs.

Today, in traditional religious ceremonies, Christian and otherwise, the wedding rings are blessed by a minister or priest, thus continuing the symbolic practice of imbuing rings with protective powers.

Wedding rings have most commonly been worn on the third finger of the left hand. Speculation has it that this is because the Romans believed that a vein ran directly from this finger to the heart. An alternate suggestion for this tradition is that each finger on the hand is associated with a planet in the ancient systems of astrology, and the ring finger of the left hand was associated with the Sun. In this way, the wearing of a wedding ring on that finger signifies the public proclamation of the union in the daylight, in other words, the conscious and clearly visible world of human community. This correspondence is perhaps even more strongly emphasized by the general tendency to craft wedding rings out of gold, which is symbolically the metal of the Sun throughout folk history and across cultures.

The main thing to remember is that wedding rings can be found to match your style and desires. Anything that can't be found can be custom made. You may want to go with the traditional design choices, but if not, then you can choose from a huge variety of metals and stones.

Midsummer Celebration

yesterday was THE biggest day in Latvian calendar- Ligo svetki.
Midsummer celebration - tradition what we as a nation were able to keep and celebrate even at Soviet times.

Thank you friends! This probably was last time when i celebrated ligo with this group of people.
I will miss you all!
But can always visit me and instead of daisies and oak make vainagus from palm leaves :)

Goran Bregovic at Ravinia

It was long dreamed dream, since i saw Kustorica's movie "Underground" after it ...... "White Cat, Black Cat" and then "Arizona Dreams", to see Goran Bregovic and wedding and funeral orchestra in live. It was worth to wait :) Concert was great. And what i loved most about this event - was public. So diverse! Not regular Ravinia Concert listeners. A lot of very free and interesting people.
And wery friendly....i got so many strangers who supported my paparazzi style photography:)
(small cameras were allowed, but not DSLR's..what is funny. some of the little ones has zooms too )
