The Experience: What You Can Expect
At its core, this photoshoot is about creating timeless images in some of Santorini’s most iconic spots. The 45-minute session is led by professional photographers who are familiar with the island’s best-kept secrets and most photogenic corners. You’ll explore stunning locations like near the Old Castle in Oia or in the magical streets of Imerovigli, discovering hidden rooftops, charming alleyways, and scenic views that typical travelers often miss.
The highlight? The flying dress—available in 70+ styles, including glitter and cloud dresses—adds a fairy-tale element to your photos. Reviewers consistently describe the dresses as “flowing,” making for dynamic shots that seem to capture motion and grace.

The photographers are adept at posing guidance and making sure everyone looks their best, even if you’re new to being photographed.
The Locations: Scenic, Romantic, and Authentic
You’ll be taken to some of the most picturesque spots in Santorini. The area near Old Castle in Oia is famous for its blue-domed churches and narrow lanes cloaked in history. Imerovigli, on the other hand, offers a quieter, more intimate vibe with warm, inviting rooftops and breathtaking caldera views. Since the photographers know every secret corner, you’ll get a chance to strike poses in less-crowded spots and avoid the typical selfie-sticks and crowds.
The Dresses: Style and Impact
The dresses are a significant part of what makes this experience stand out. They are not shared, meaning you’ll have your own full-length, flowing gown to wear during the shoot. The variety in styles allows you to choose something that matches your personality—whether you want a sparkling glitter dress or a soft, cloud-like ensemble. Several reviews mention the “beautiful dress” as a highlight, with one viewer describing it as “literally flying” and loving how it made her feel.
The Photographers and Service
Professionalism and creativity shine through in reviews praising the photographers’ skill and friendly attitude. One reviewer said, “The photographer was professional, friendly, and truly talented,” highlighting how the team makes the process relaxed and fun.
