i live in new jersey and i completely adore where i live, but i am a new yorker at heart…. however i’d never been to coney island until i met up with sara and evan to shoot their engagement session. you could spend days photographing coney island. evan even made his own documentary, ‘made in coney island’, when there was fear that the summer of 2007 would be coney island’s last… surely inspired by the fact that his grandparents met there. i decided to edit this session with a style that was a bit more reminiscent…
i love the kid looking back and smiling at me…
i like how they just about blend in…
checking out the cyclone…
my first ride on the wonder wheel! opened in 1920…. eek!
this is where i post a pic solely to show off my sniper skills…
coney island icons in the background…nathan’s and parachute jump…
photographing sara and evan was truly a neat way to experience coney island for the first time. i enjoyed evan’s tidbits of historical information about what it used to be and will certainly take a trek back there again to learn more about the history, experience some more rides and make more photographs!
