Something that you might not think to do before your engagement session or wedding day is getting your engagement ring cleaned. You wear your engagement ring around all the time and it does get dirty. I recommend cleaning your ring before your engagement session and your wedding day. This will help it look all sparkly and clean in photos for those close up images that I like to get.
