Two weeks ago, my wife Amanda suggested that we head to Coney Island.   Wow!   what good time I had. Thanks for the awesome idea.   As much as I dislike the  sand.  I had a wonderful time.  So much has changed since.   But the tradition of Coney Island is still the same.   Here are some pics I took with my iphone4.   Good Time for sure.  I can’t wait to go back again.

hmmm, engagement session at Coney Island sounds like a fun idea….

Attention Bride/Groom:   I would LOVE to do an engagement session at Coney Island with you.   Contact me for details.

It was everyone’s first time at the Gantry Plaza State Park located in Long Island City of Queens New York. The place was beautiful with the Midtown Manhattan landscape as your backdrop. Unfortunately we ran into a little situation due to a state regulation. But we still manage to have lots of the fun and rock the session. I also like to thank my good friend, an awesome photographer William Eng for coming down and helping me out with the Off Camera Flash.

Here’s the 30 seconds teaser.

A match made in heaven. Amanda and I spend the Friday afternoon and evening without our son and drove up to Connecticut to meet up with Lisa and Jon for their E-Session. I’ve known Lisa for almost 10 years now…. but it was Amanda first. We had an awesome time chatting, walking around town, taking pictures of them. We also had dinner and stopped by one of their favorite bar. All I can say about this couple is “They ROCK!!!!” We can’t wait to photograph your wedding on 4th of July. YAY!!!

Here’s the slideshow of their E-Session. what a sweet and cute couple!!! :)

WOOHOO!!! Congrats to you both!!! I am so excite and happy for you. I always knew Jon was the one for her. Lisa and I go way back from MJI days (aka Clear Channel Communication). We briefly talked about her photography needs. Looks like I will be photographing her wedding as long as scheduling works out for me. Because they are currently living in Florida, she wants me to fly down and do the e-session there with the beautiful sunset background. Guess I will be taking my family with me as a mini vacation too. Wedding will be held somewhere in Connecticut. ]]> http://www.johnlophotography.com/blog/2008/06/important-announcement-from-lisa-and-jon/feed/ 0
