Why Chinatown is the Dopest Spot for Engagement Pics – Katie & Jack’s Epic NYC Shoot
Okay, let’s talk about Katie and Jack’s engagement shoot in New York City’s Chinatown. These two wanted something that felt 100% them—vibrant, playful, and just a little bit offbeat. And lemme tell you, Chinatown was the perfect spot for this vibe. If you’re looking for a place in NYC that brings color, personality, and cool editorial street backdrops, Chinatown is IT.
Why Chinatown? Spoiler: No Ugly Cars in the Background 🙌
One of the BEST things about Chinatown (aside from the epic food, obviously) is that some of the streets are blocked off to cars. You know what that means, right? No ugly cars ruining your gorgeous engagement photos! Seriously, there’s nothing worse than a perfect shot being photobombed by a random van or taxi. Instead, you’ve got open streets with colorful signs, funky storefronts, and so much personality in every shot. It’s a photographer’s dream.
Katie & Jack: Candid, Colorful, and Totally THEM
So, a little backstory on Katie and Jack: these two are full of life, always laughing, dancing, and just living it up. They didn’t want your typical engagement shoot—they wanted something fun and real. So, what did we do? We tied scarves around them like total goofballs and just let them be their weird, amazing selves. And Katie? She absolutely KILLED it in a Yankees sport jacket. It was so different from the usual engagement shoot outfits, but it felt 100% her.
Chinatown’s colorful streets were the perfect match for their personalities. The bold signs, the quirky little streets, and the vibe of the area all brought their photos to life in a way that just wouldn’t have worked anywhere else. Plus, we didn’t have to deal with crowds or cars constantly cutting into our flow—just vibes and good times.
Why You Need Chinatown for Your Engagement Shoot
If you and your partner want engagement photos that are unique, colorful, and feel true to who you are, Chinatown is the spot in NYC. Whether you’re all about exploring funky street corners, love street food, or just want something different from the usual Central Park vibes, Chinatown brings a fresh, editorial feel to your photos. Plus, there’s something about those neon signs and alleyways that make it perfect for couples who aren’t afraid to stand out.
Chinatown is FULL of life, just like Katie and Jack, and it was the perfect canvas for capturing their energy and love story. Plus, if you’re into dancing in the streets (which, spoiler alert: these two totally are), there’s plenty of room to do that, too.
