Destination Love Shoot : Melissa + Robbie : Coney Island, New York

This past weekend we fotographed the awesome wedding of Melissa + Robbie at the beautiful Wave Hill in New York. Stay tuned for a future post about that.....but first let me rewind to few weeks back, when we spent the day with this lovely couple on the one and only Coney Island!!! We've always wanted to go to Coney Island because of it's history, and so we were super psyched when Melissa + Robbie told us that they'd like to do something fun together for their Love Shoot....maybe an amusement park....how about Coney Island? There were so many fun places to fotograph them......from the carousel to the famous boardwalk! Before we started though, we grabbed a few drinks. Paul tried a Coney Island Craft Lager.....it had a very cool, freaky label.





Then of course we HAD to get the famous hot dogs at the original Nathan's Famous Hotdogs! Two chili-cheese dogs please! Yum....I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!! After going on some rides, watching Rob win Melissa her Nemo, and walking the boardwalk, we went down to the pier and the beach, where we witnessed (and fotographed of course : ) the most incredible sunset and moon rise I've ever seen!!! We are so excited about the way all of the images turned out...check out some of our favorites below!! If you watch it in slideshow mode, you'll hear the perfect song for this shoot.....can you guess the song?

Love Shoot : Kaitlin + Ash : The Wang Theater, Boston, Massachusetts

A little while ago we met Ash and Kaitlin in Boston for their Love Shoot. Krystal and I were super excited because we knew that we were going to shoot in the Wang Theatre. What we didn't know was what Ash and Kaitlin had up their sleeves :) Just as we arrived we heard from Kaitlin that they decided to theme their shoot after their favorite TV show MAD MEN. Many of you know that we don't really watch TV, so I quickly googled MAD MEN. Who wouldn't want to shoot a theme based around that show! And the surprises didn't stop there. When we were introduced to the theatre manager, we were told we could use the entire theater- yes, indeed- the stage, the dressing rooms- all of it! We were pumped needless to say!

Those of you that are into the visual arts might understand that the next 30sec. Where do you start in such an amazing place?... It was a bit overwhelming at first, but then we focused and rocked it :)
