Get ready for a serious dose of nostalgia and vibrant energy! I’m buzzing to share the incredible engagement session of Krystal and Simon, who completely nailed the latest photo trend, that I actually enjoy: the 80’s Hong Kong engagement shoot.

Inspired by the iconic aesthetics and carefree spirit of 1980s Hong Kong cinema and street photography, Krystal and Simon embraced a fun, spontaneous, and utterly unique approach to their pre-wedding photos. Forget stiff poses and predictable backdrops – this session was all about movement, vibrant colors, and exploring the hidden gems of Chinatown, NYC.

Part One: Daytime Adventures and Dynamic Backdrops in Chinatown

Imagine a bride-to-be, Krystal, looking absolutely radiant in her wedding dress, not just standing demurely but running through the bustling streets of Chinatown with her soon-to-be husband, Simon! This wasn’t your typical formal photoshoot. Krystal and Simon fully embraced the carefree and spontaneous spirit of the 80s Hong Kong trend, resulting in images bursting with life and personality.

We explored the vibrant alleyways, colorful storefronts, and unique architectural details that make Chinatown such a captivating location. The dynamic backgrounds and natural movement created truly unique images that perfectly capture Krystal and Simon’s playful connection. The vibrant colors of the neighborhood, from the graffiti to the colorful buildings, added an extra layer of visual excitement to every shot.

But the fun didn’t stop there! As the sun dipped, Krystal and Simon’s 80s Hong Kong adventure continued into the neon-lit wonderland of Chinatown at night. And let me tell you – it was a blast!

The second part of their session took a thrilling turn with a visit to the retro vibes of Anime Claw NYC and the delicious ambiance of Mabu Cafe NYC. Under the electric glow of neon signs, Krystal and Simon brought their playful energy to a whole new level.
