Singapore’s very own get-away island that is rustic, known to few and yet easily accessible – Coney Island.
A Coney Island Couple shoot is perfect if you’re looking for somewhere unSingapore-looking, somewhere dreamy, somewhere romantic with a hint of get-away.
This beautiful parents-of-two embarked on a woodland and beach themed Couple Shoot to celebrate their love of the travelling and 10th year wedding anniversary.. Take a look at their romantic adventure in the forest and beach of Coney Island.
She says… “it (Coney Island) feels almost like a european forest.
We’re going for something dreamy and ethereal”.
Six tips for Couple Shoot at Coney Island
#1 Plan the mood of your shoot and communicate with your photographer
Coney Island is filled with tall woodland tree, looking very ethereal and dreamy. Perfect if you’re looking for something rustic and none-Singapore. Let your photographer know the mood (you like) and it would be great to show her some pictures you have in mind so both of you are on the same page.
#2 Pack some water but no snacks or plastic bags please
it is very important to keep yourself hydrated during a photoshoot (No to parched lips!) so bring along those bottles of H2O. Pack them in backpacks because there are no rubbish bin on the island and we don’t wanna be leaving our rubbish behind do we?
I advice no snacks or plastic bags because there are plenty of wild monkeys on the island and snacks might attract their (unwanted) attention.
#3 There is only one public toilet on the island
So do go before heading into the island. Also, try to keep outfit changes (if any) minimum.
#4 Wear comfortable walking shoes
Coney Island is very rustic, while there are pathways, they are mostly dirt path. So wear comfortable walking shoes and do avoid heels as they might sink into the soft ground, making walking very difficult.
#5 Bring some mosquito repellent along
I wasn’t sting by any bugs at all the entire time I was there, but being a rustic outdoor woodland, there are plenty of bugs. Bring along some repellent just in case!
#6 Arrive on time. Note the park closes at 7PM
Plan your timing ahead and be on schedule. The park closes strictly at 7PM and no overnight stays are allowed.
She says “our marriage turns 10, and again, I choose you, for every iteration of me, and everything I will become. I love you, by choice, with the sum of all my will and determination.”
Coney Island in short
Coney Island is unbelievably photogenic and doesn’t feel nor resemble Singapore in the slightest bit. Left nearly untouched for so long, Coney Island’s rustic setting allows for photographs that don’t look like they were taken in Singapore.
