Kerry and Manny - thanks for a lovely evening ! Coney Island - we are most definitely coming back soon !
David and Monika, what can we say? Amazing! The pictures are amazingly beautiful. The two of you are just so easy-going and wonderful to work with. We are so happy that the idea of Coney Island somehow came up and that you were so excited for the opportunity!

We cannot wait until our wedding day and are so excited that we found you to capture it!
Thank you!!!
