A flying-dress shoot in Santorini feels like a storybook scene. What makes it worth your time is the planning help before you arrive, plus the on-the-day support so you’re not stressing about where to stand or how to handle the dress. I really like the dress selection process and the photographer guidance that keeps things natural and comfortable, even if you’re not used to posing.
One thing to think about: the package includes just one dress for one woman, so if two women want to be in photos, you’ll likely want an extra dress (priced separately).
This is set up for a smooth start-to-finish experience. You’ll get manager messages after booking to lock in timing and your pose/location ideas, and then a quick confirmation a few days before. I also appreciate the clear photo delivery timeline and the fact that you can choose your favorites before the final editing happens.

Key things to know before you go
- Pre-shoot planning call-in style: you confirm participants, preferred time of day, pose/location requests, and your dream dress choice
- One-dress package clarity: one dress for one woman is included, with options to add a second dress or a child’s dress
- Assistant support for the dress effect: there’s help with changing and with making the dress fly
- Photo selection + timeline: previews first, then you pick favorites, then final edits arrive within a set window
- Pickup and meeting nearby the best spots: the photographer meets you close to key areas, with your exact meeting point sent in advance
Booking a dress that fits your vision (not just a generic outfit)
The best part of this shoot is the way it’s built around your choices. After you book, a manager reaches out to confirm how many people are in your party, what time of day you want, and any specific pose or location requests you’d like to try. Then you also share your dress vision, so the photographer shows up with the dress you chose rather than forcing you to work with whatever is on hand.
That matters in Santorini, because the day-of vibe can swing fast with light and crowds. Having your dress locked in and your basic plan agreed ahead of time helps you spend your 1 hour and 15 minutes focused on photos, not logistics.
Dress-wise, you’ll get one plain dress from the catalog in sizes XS–XXL. The rules are pretty specific: cloud, fluffy, or glitter dresses aren’t included. If you’ve imagined a very specific style, it’s smart to confirm it early so you’re not disappointed when the catalog dress arrives.

Where the shoot happens: Imerovigli and a village chosen with your input

Your session starts at Imerovigli. The meeting point is listed as CCMC+QM Imerovigli, Greece, and the activity ends back at the same meeting point. That point-to-point setup is nice because you’re not wandering until your photos are done and then trying to figure out where everyone should reunite.
During planning, you select the village/location together with the photographer. That’s important because a good photoshoot spot is more than a good view. It’s also about comfort: where you can change, where you can move safely in a dress, and where the background stays flattering instead of chaotic.
On the ground, your photographer meets you in Santorini’s village area close to the best shooting spots. They also assist with changing if needed. You then follow their lead to explore the most picturesque locations available for the hour you’ve booked.
A practical note on timing
The company runs from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, every day. Since you can choose your preferred time of day, I recommend picking a slot when you’re not rushing from a prior activity. The better your energy level, the more natural you’ll look in photos.
The flying-dress moment: what the assistant actually does

This is called a private flying dress photoshoot for a reason. The included plan isn’t just you holding a dress and hoping for the best. You get an assistant whose job is to help the dress fly and to help you get changed properly.
So you can relax about the little technical stuff:
- where to stand and how to hold the dress
- how to coordinate movement without tripping
- quick changes so you don’t lose time
That assistant support showed up as a strong positive in feedback, including the simple win of having someone waiting to help with transfers. It’s one of those details that makes the whole thing feel easy from the moment you arrive.
Also, the dress is supplied in the catalog, and it’s described as being in good condition. That’s not a small point. If a dress is wrinkled, worn, or poorly handled, it shows fast on camera.
What you’ll get from the shoot (photos, edits, and delivery schedule)

Here’s the photo plan in plain terms. You’ll start with an approximately 1 hour photo tour, and the package includes:
- 15 color corrected full-resolution JPGs
- 6 retouched photos full-resolution JPGs
Then comes the part most people care about: when you’ll actually receive the photos. Within 10 calendar days after your session, you’ll get all photos for selection (in web quality). You choose what you want to keep editing.
After you make your selections, the final editing happens within 30 calendar days from the date you chose your favorites. At that point, you receive high-resolution files plus a social-media-optimized version.
There’s also a sensible backup piece: the provider keeps an electronic copy for one year in case you lose access.

Why this workflow is good value
This split between previews and final edits reduces stress. You see results first, then you decide what matters most. If you’ve got a specific photo in mind for posting or printing, you can choose with confidence rather than guessing at the final look.
Pickup and meeting point: reducing stress before you ever see the camera

Santorini can be a lot—stairs, tight areas, and the general challenge of getting from point A to point B on time. This experience tries to reduce those headaches by offering pickup.
Your photographer meets you in the city center close to the best photoshoot spots, and you’ll receive the exact meeting point in advance. If you need a different pickup, options include:
- meeting at a nearby hotel (if it’s close to photoshoot areas)
- private transfers for extra charge from hotels in other cities, from the cable car exit for cruise guests, or from the airport
A lot of the positive experiences here come down to one thing: having a person waiting and helping with transfers. If you’ve ever arrived somewhere and spent the first 20 minutes trying to find the right person, you’ll understand why this detail is so valuable.
You’ll also get a mobile ticket, which helps keep the day simple.
Price and value: $784.42 per group can be great or awkward

The price is $784.42 per group (up to 5). On average, bookings are made about 54 days in advance, which tells me this is a popular planning window—another reason to book early if you want a specific time of day.
But here’s the part you should plan around: the package includes one dress for one woman only. Family/friends may join free of charge, and dress sharing isn’t permitted.
So the cost can be very good value if:
- one woman is doing the main shoot, and
- you have a couple companions joining for photos from the sidelines, plus
- you want a professional photographer and dress support without adding extra dresses.
The value can feel less simple if:
- you have two women who both want to be in dress photos, because you’ll need an added dress for the second woman (starting from €100, depending on style)
- you planned for glitter/fluffy/cloud dress looks, since those aren’t included in the package
If you’re bringing children, there’s an option for a child’s dress (€60). For groups with 3+ women, group rates apply and you’ll need to contact for pricing.
What the photographer partnership feels like on the day

This kind of shoot lives or dies by comfort. A big part of the feedback points to a photographer who helps you feel at ease. That’s exactly what you want. If someone is calm and clear, you stop worrying about your pose and start looking like yourself.
Expect your photographer to:
- meet you in the village area
- bring the chosen dress
- assist with changing if needed
- guide you through the most photogenic locations during your allocated time
- work with your pose or location requests from planning
If you’re worried about getting it right, don’t. This is set up for you to follow direction, not to invent poses on the spot.
Best fit: who this works for (and when to rethink it)

This experience is a strong match if you want:
- a private photoshoot setting, so it’s just your group
- a supplied dress in a wide size range (XS–XXL)
- an assistant who actively helps with the dress effect
- a clean photo delivery promise: previews first, then final edits after you choose
It may be less ideal if you:
- want multiple different dresses within one session (the included package is one dress)
- are specifically set on cloud/fluffy/glitter dress styles
- prefer a totally DIY setup where you pick everything and handle all changing yourself
A quick reality check on weather and flexibility
This shoot requires good weather. If the weather isn’t workable and it has to be canceled, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. That’s worth noting when you’re planning around other activities in Santorini.
Because of that, I’d treat your session time like a priority slot, not something you schedule as a backup.
Should you book this Private Flying Dress Photoshoot?
If you want a photoshoot that’s organized like a pro and still feels personal, I’d book it. The best reason is the combination of planning help, assistant support, and a clear photo timeline. You’re paying for reduced stress: someone coordinates the dress, helps you change, and leads the photo moments.
I’d especially recommend it if you’re traveling with a small group where only one woman is doing the dress photos. Family or friends can join without paying for extra participation, so you get the fun day and the photos without turning it into a complicated event.
On the other hand, if you’re hoping for multiple dress looks, or you want specific glitter/fluffy/cloud dress styles included, you’ll need to adjust expectations and confirm options early. Once you’re aligned on the dress rules, this is one of the easier ways to get stunning, polished photos in Santorini without spending your whole day figuring out logistics.
