What the Experience Includes and How It Works

This photoshoot isn’t just about snapping pictures—it’s about creating a visual story of your time in Santorini. After booking, you’ll meet your photographer in front of the iconic church in Oia, a spot that screams postcard-perfect. From there, the session lasts approximately 45 minutes to an hour, giving plenty of time for various poses and scenic shots. The photographer, a talented local woman, guides you through the best angles, poses, and locations, ensuring you look your best against the stunning backdrop.

You’ll wear the stunning flying dress—a choice of red or blue—that creates impressive, flowing visuals as you twirl and move. An assistant is dedicated to helping you manage the dress during the shoot, flipping it and catching the wind just right. This is what makes the photos look cinematic; the dress seems to fly effortlessly in the breeze, adding that “fairytale” quality so many travelers crave.

The Location: Why Oia Is the Perfect Setting

Oia is a photographer’s dream with its narrow cobbled streets, whitewashed buildings, and iconic blue-domed churches. The photographer has a deep familiarity with the area and will guide you to the most picturesque spots, including hidden corners away from the crowds. The views of the caldera, the colorful sunset, and the charming alleyways all serve as perfect backdrops to your photos.

The session ends back at your starting point, making it a convenient, hassle-free experience. Keep in mind that timing is key—early mornings or late afternoons provide the best lighting and fewer travelers competing for space.

The Dress and Assistant: What You Need to Know

The €130 fee covers dress rental and the dedicated assistant. The dresses are vibrant and flowy, designed specifically for the dramatic flying effect. If you have a larger size (XXL or more), it’s wise to inform the provider beforehand to ensure availability and proper fit.

You won’t need to bring anything other than comfortable shoes, sunglasses, and water. The dresses are not included in the base price, which might seem steep but is reasonable given the quality of the images and the professional setup.
