Brave couple takes engagement photos during Nor'easter

Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

Felicia Sam and David Nartey weren’t about to let the historic winter storm this past weekend get in the way of their plans for an awesome engagement shoot.

On Friday, the determined couple left work and drove 40 minutes to Fort Meade, Maryland, to romp in the snow and get some great shots of the whole thing, and the results are nothing short of perfect.

“We had wanted to do a snow photo shoot for a long time,” Sam told ABC News. “So any opportunity that presented itself, we were just going to take it. I heard on the news that there was going to be a blizzard so I said surely there’ll be snow. I called the photographer [Dotun Ayodeji] and said, ‘Are you up for it?’ And he said, ‘Oh my God, you’re reading my mind.'”

“We were like kids playing in the snow,” she recalled. “We threw snow balls at each other. We actually had a lot of fun.”

Sam went on to say that, although some of her friends called her crazy for going out in the snow, she was most excited for her family in Ghana to see the pictures.

The couple have always been ones to brave the elements for each other, though, because Nartey proposed just before Hurricane Joaquin hit.
