Tak + Steven: Coney Island, NY Engagement 11/23/2009 | In Engagements, by Apertura

MG 5915 copy Tak + Steven: Coney Island, NY Engagement



It was day 2 of our 3-day stay in New York and it was cold, and raining!  Cold and rain do not go together well for sure, especially for us who is not accustomed to having both at the same time… uhm.. yep, that’s us.

However, the talented photographers Tak + Steven were the super trooper of the day as we shoot around for their engagement session (with the wedding to follow the next day).  We strolled around in the famous Coney Island and several adjacent places.  4 Umbrellas, 4 wet shoes, 4 pairs of partially wet legs, and 4 wet cameras later, we still had a lot of fun!  So here we go:

PS: watch for their wedding images coming up soon!
