I recently had the pleasure of photographing Claudia and Stefan in a small forest near Vienna for their engagement. Is there anything more lovely than a springtime engagement shoot in the woods?! The lush green tones, the quietness and the amazing light in the back. Nature is the best backdrop a photographer could wish for. Claudia & Stefan have officially set their wedding date and I am so excited to be the one who will capture it.  Would you believe it that these two lovebirds have been together for 9 years and are parents of two beautiful daughters!

The springtime engagement shoot in the woods was all about these two. Having two little girls is really challenging and precious moments together for these two are few and far between. Both of them enjoyed their afternoon and it was a pleasure to document their love for each other. After a stroll through the woods and some intimate moments we headed to a quarry down the hill for a few more photographs. I just so happened to photograph a styled shoot there last year and loved the look of the place ( more you can find here).
I am very much looking foward to Claudia’s and Stefan’s beautiful wedding in September.
Here’s a few of my favourites from this engagement session with them. Hope you enjoy them!

Love,
Melanie
