The final engagement session we’re showcasing today is a breathtaking shoot from Melani Lust Photography. We started off the day by saying that the one common denominator in all engagement shoots is the almost palpable love shared between the couple. You can style or dress or prop all you want, but the bottom line is the emotion caught on film that tells the true story …

I have never, ever loved a photograph more than this one of Elizabeth and Leo tenderly holding hands.



Leo proposed to Elizabeth at the Fort Tilden Beach on the Long Island Sound in New York, so we went back to that spot for their engagement shoot. The sunrise light at 6 am provided beautiful atmosphere for the shoot. Leo is an avid photo enthusiast and shutterbug himself, so he brought his large format camera for a stylized shoot with Elizabeth. We look forward to their October wedding at The Society Room in Hartford, CT.

LOVE this. The lighting on the second set is insanely gorgeous. Like out of a movie gorgeous. Huge props Melani!
That pic of the hands is beautiful!!!
Melani has captured the beauty, intimacy and deep love between Elizabeth and Leo with her wonderful vision. Any bride-to-be dreams of this portrayal of their relationship. Bravo!
Melani appears to be an archivist, in that her pictures capture moments of emotion instead of mere images. I can feel things when I look at these photograghs. The trust between her and her subjects is clear.
Absolutely amazing work from Melani. What a treat! Thank you so much for posting this beautiful feature, Eddye!!
Oh I love that hand shot! What a beautiful shoot (and the bride's hair is amazing!)
I LOVE how they returned to the exact place they got engaged to take these photos! Such a sweet touch.
This is such a beautiful shoot. I love the one of Elizabeth by the lifeguard chair, and the couple looks so sincerely happy. Gorgeous!
Nothing is better than an engagement shoot at the beach! Love it!
