M + J // Coney Island Engagement Photography

October, 2021 | Coney Island

M + J contacted me in the summer about their upcoming trip to NYC. J had recently popped the question, and the two were headed to the big apple on a trip. They were looking for engagement photography in New York City. They proposed Top of the Rock, Gantry State Park, and Luna Park (part of Coney Island). They wanted an engagement photography session that was fun, creative, and showed their playful personalities and relationship. I knew immediately that Coney Island was the perfect place for their engagements.

As New York City engagement photographers, there is nothing better than finding a location that jives with who the couple is. We started off with the two taking a ride on the swings (they wouldn’t let me on the ride with a camera unfortunately). We then cruised around the park to explore the different fascinating nooks and crannies and, of course, grab a hot dog.

We made our way out of the park past the Wonder Wheel, and to the Boardwalk for some final photos before the sun started to go down.

We finished off with a few shots on the basketball nets - wouldn’t you know it after the couple took their tries I gave it a shot and with a swish won a giant banana that our kiddos were ecstatic see come home.

Such an incredible session with a couple who was up for anything and a location that provides more variety than you can imagine.
