Advice - proposal photos & placeholder ring, how would it all work?

Hi lovely people! So nice to see everyone's beautiful rings on here and feel the excitement :)

So we just got the news that our ring (which we've picked out/designed together) is delayed by a few weeks -_- It's likely he will propose by the end of summer (a timeframe we had already discussed together), and we've also had discussions in the past where I've said I'm OK with a placeholder ring if 'the right moment' comes and the real ring still isn't ready.

However my personal preference is also to have proposal photos of some sort. I love photos of big moments in life -- not for social media, but because all my family live really far away so this is a way I get to include them in my big moments/ share joyful news with them. So my question for this sub is -- how would proposal photos work if there's a placeholder ring?

It seems like most photos have a ton of ring closeups, but I'm thinking I wouldn't want to document so much of a placeholder when we're already getting the real one made. If you have any experience or advice with this situation please do share :) Trying to figure out how I feel about everything.
