Jenny & Christian’s New York Chinatown Elopement – A Foodie Adventure
A Love Story Spanning Continents
Jenny & Christian’s love story is truly one for the books. Christian, originally from Germany, and Jenny, from Taiwan, currently live together in Tokyo, making them true world travelers. Their New York City elopement was a perfect reflection of their adventurous spirit—intimate, spontaneous, and filled with delicious food.
I first met Christian when I photographed his sister’s Central Park elopement, so it was extra special to capture this new chapter in his life. When Jenny & Christian reached out about their wedding photography, they had one request: skip the traditional posed shots and simply document their experience roaming through Chinatown after their ceremony at the City Clerk’s Office.
A Unique Take on NYC Elopement Photography
Elopements in NYC often include iconic backdrops like Central Park or the Brooklyn Bridge, but Jenny & Christian wanted something different—something that felt authentic to their love for travel and food. Instead of a structured shoot, we wandered through Chinatown, stopping at street vendors, bustling markets, and hidden alleys, capturing candid moments along the way.
From sampling dumplings to sipping bubble tea, every photo tells a story of joy, laughter, and delicious discoveries. This wasn’t just a wedding shoot—it was an experience, a memory in the making, and a celebration of their journey together.
