I’m Daniella Monestime an NYC portrait photographer. I fell in love with the flying dress experience before it was even a thing in Santorini! This love affair started in 2017 with a parachute dress amidst Joshua Tree National Park. This inspiring and uplifting moment where I felt like a queen, ignited my desire to recreate this magical experience right here in New York City.

As a local photographer in New York City, I’m fortunate to be surrounded by some of the nation’s most talented photographers. Our city boasts iconic and picturesque backgrounds that inspire me every day. My goal with Dream Flying Dress is to create a truly uplifting and magical experience for you, providing a once-in-a-lifetime photoshoot against the backdrop of this remarkable city.
