Photographer Captures Lifelong Love In “Engagement Shoots” For Elderly Couples.

Some of the greatest love stories are the ones that span a lifetime.

You’ll probably agree that one of the cutest sights ever is two lovers who’ve spent decades adoring each other. It’s something Sujata Setia believes we don’t see enough of, in fact. That’s why the multi-award-winning photographer behind But Natural Photography in London, England, always makes time to capture elderly couples in engagement-style shoots.

“Whichever country I visit, I make sure I photograph elderly couples there together and I cannot express how fulfilling this has been for me,” Sujata said. “The stories I hear of their lives together… and the pure and honest love that I witness in the course of these shoots is just beyond amazing.”

Take a look at what true, lasting love looks like in the sweet photos below.

1. The gorgeous lighting, the love in their eyes… it’s all so magical!
