Retro Engagement Shoots

Tim Melideo Creates Washed Out Vintage Wedding Pictures

When photographer Tim Melideo got engaged, standard engagement pictures wouldn't cut it. As a result, he created the most fabulous vintage-inspired shoot.

The photography by Tim Melideo is done in retro 50s style and is of him and his fiancee Merrill-Ashley, as well as their adorable dog. The pictures are definitely not standard engagement pictures, and are a great twist on the standard style.
