Whether you’re celebrating a proposal, elopement, wedding preps, or simply want a fun day in NYC, this photoshoot offers a delightful way to create beautiful images. The entire process is tailored for various occasions—from solo adventures to family outings.

You will spend anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour with a professional photographer, who will not only take your pictures but also help with posing and ideas. This guidance is especially helpful if you’re not used to being in front of the camera, or if you want to ensure your photos are both romantic and natural.

The location can be flexible, depending on your preferences and the time of year. In NYC, the most popular spots are Central Park, Dumbo, Brooklyn Bridge, and neighborhoods like Soho or Chinatown. If the locations are close together, your session can include multiple spots, making the most of your time and the beautiful cityscape.

Locations That Make Your Photos Pop

Central Park is an obvious choice—its lush greenery, iconic bridges, and open spaces provide a timeless backdrop. We loved the idea of contrasting the flowing dress against the park’s natural scenery, creating a romantic and classic vibe.

Dumbo offers a more urban, industrial feel with views of the Manhattan Bridge and skyline. The cobblestone streets and brick buildings give a striking contrast to the delicate flying dress, perfect for a dynamic, modern look.

Other locations such as Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Soho, Tribeca, China Town, and Little Island are also available. Each offers a distinct vibe, from the historic charm of Brooklyn Bridge to the bustling streets of Chinatown. Your photographer can help you choose based on what mood you’re after and the best time to capture the scene.

What to Expect During Your Photoshoot

Once you arrive at the meeting point—most likely in front of Sweetgreen in Dumbo—you’ll meet your photographer, who will be your guide and cheerleader for the session. If you opt for a Central Park shoot, you’ll coordinate via WhatsApp to finalize the meeting spot.

Your package includes the handmade flying dress (if added), which is a key feature of this experience. Wearing this dress allows for dramatic, flowing photos that look like they belong in a magazine. If you wish to wear multiple dresses, that’s available as an add-on.

Photographers will assist with posing, ideas, and capturing candid moments. They aim to help you relax and enjoy the experience, so your photos feel natural and heartfelt. After the shoot, you’ll receive digitally edited photos within about 7 days. The editing mostly involves color correction, shadows, and highlights to enhance the images, but advanced edits like removing objects or fixing faces are not included.

At $411 for up to 2 people, this experience is quite reasonable considering the professional guidance, location variety, and high-quality digital images you’ll receive. The cost includes the dress, photoshoot, and post-editing, making it a straightforward package without surprises.

The one review from Sara from Germany sums it up nicely: “I really enjoyed the photo shoot and the photos I saw are really great! It’s always been on my wish list — a photo shoot with flying dresses — and I can’t believe it’s now available in Osijek, my hometown, where I always come back from Germany!” That enthusiasm hints at the joy and memorable quality of this experience.

The Experience in Detail

Let’s dig into what a typical session might look like. Once you meet your photographer, they’ll take the time to understand your vision and preferences. If you’ve selected Dumbo, you’ll start with the iconic Manhattan Bridge backdrop, capturing the flowing dress against the urban landscape. The photographer will help you with poses that accentuate the dress’s movement, ensuring every shot looks dynamic.

If you prefer Central Park, your session might include shots by the lake, under a canopy of trees, or near famous landmarks like Bow Bridge. The contrast between the natural surroundings and the elegance of the dress makes for particularly striking images.

Each location offers unique opportunities—from the lively streets of Chinatown to the historic charm of Soho. Your photographer’s local knowledge helps maximize the beauty and drama of each scene.

Timing is important—early mornings are often quieter and provide softer light, but the experience is usually available in the mornings, which is ideal for photos. The photos are delivered digitally, so you can share or print them immediately.
