About Gemini Sun Creative

Gemini Sun Creative

Photographer

Gemini Sun Creative is an intimate wedding and elopement photographer serving Northern California, NYC, Upstate NY & Philadelphia. Owner, Daniela Monzi, specializes in elopement and intimate wedding photography. With each couple she works with, she strives to show off the unique traits of their love story in every photo. Her passion for her work is most deeply connected to the process of telling people’s stories through photographs. Most of Daniela's work centers around the human experience, our shared existence, and the quest for revealing the truest form of each person that she documents.

While my photography journey began as a young child, I honed my craft more thoroughly at the San Francisco Art Institute, receiving a BFA in 2017. I was fortunate to study with and among leading artists and artistic minds. I bring this experience and perspective to each and every shoot. I have always marched to the beat of my own drum (hi, enneagram 4w5 here). My heart lies with storytelling and creating art. It was when I started photographing intimate weddings and planning my own elopement, that I felt the same twinge of sparkles in my stomach that I get when I am creating my fine art, that I knew this was something I was called to do.

    Our day with Dani was like a dream come true. When my fiancé proposed in the breathtaking Lake Garda, I was completely swept off my feet. Dani’s talent shone through in every shot—each photo was a stunning capture of our joy and the beauty of the day. I found myself in tears looking through them, so perfectly did they convey our emotions. Dani had this incredible knack for giving just the right amount of direction while letting everything feel so natural and candid. It was amazing how she made us feel at ease, despite the excitement, and her presence made the whole experience flow effortlessly. Dani's warmth and skill turned what could have been a whirlwind day into a series of perfectly captured moments. I can’t recommend her enough to couples who want not just gorgeous photos but a truly heartfelt and memorable experience.

    Dani and I have known each other for 15 years, which is wild within itself. I’ve watched her photography journey for a long long time. Which is why the second we got engaged I KNEW we would hire her. We had an engagement shoot, as well as an “our day” vow shoot. Let me tell you, my husband and I are very much “guide us and we’ll follow” people. We’re indecisive, we’re go with the flow people, and that’s not always easy to work with. Dani from day one has guided us and taken care of EVERYTHING. From giving us options/ideas and brainstorming, to nailing the plans in place once we decided what we wanted to do. We had our vow day shoot in the Dolomites in Italy. Sebastian and I have never traveled like that together and Dani literally planned everything including what hike we were taking and timelined everything out. Which is exactly what we explained we needed and were looking for when working with her. She took everything we wanted and what we explained we wanted each experience to be like, and she nailed it. Nailed the photos. Nailed the locations. Nailed being an all around fantastic and easy person to work with. She also stayed in contact with us throughout the entire 2 years we have been planning together. She was our cheerleader, our planner, our listening ear, without a doubt I would recommend her to everyone and anyone. Not to mention these photos are to die for, and everyone is obsessed!

    Dani shot our elopement in Martha’s Vineyard, MA. We actually had the privilege of working with her for our engagement photos, party, and then the wedding day. We had the most magical, intimate, beautiful wedding ceremony, day, and dinner to follow with the people who mean the most to us. We weren’t sure about every little detail, but we did know it was so important for us to capture it in the most candid manner possible. Dani did just that. She was so helpful and encouraging from the very start during planning to the very last moment she was with us at the end of the night. She took the time to get to know my husband and I so that she could understand the exact idea I pictured in my head, but also in a way that we never felt posed or unnatural. She made sure we felt comfortable during a time when we were very outside of our comfort zone. On the day of the elopement, Dani was early to the venue (which, as a bride, is an absolute load off). She also had copies of the photos we specifically requested so she would not forget, she had previously surveyed the property and different lighting angles, and had all the equipment she could need, just to name a few things. Another very important aspect she brought was her calm, cheerful, encouraging demeanor. It was absolutely a day we will never forget (with a special thanks to the hilarious people on the nude beach we stumbled upon), and it would not have been the same without Dani there to not only capture it all for us but also experience it.

    Melanie & Pat, I can't tell you how much your feedback means to me! Your elopement day is one I will never forget and I am so honored I was able to be part of your entire journey. Sending you both the biggest hugs. -D

    We are so lucky and grateful to have had Dani as our photographer for our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. Planning our wedding was a ton of work and Dani made the photography part a breeze. She was very organized, has a great website, and it was clear from the start what was included in the package we selected. Dani instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera because of her welcoming and warm personality. Most important she is an extremely talented photographer and we trusted her expertise. Our album is stunning and are so grateful to have such amazing photos to remember our wedding day.
