The Locations: Oia and Imerovigli
Oia is arguably Santorini’s most famous village. Its narrow, winding streets, white buildings, and iconic blue domes make it a photographer’s paradise. The picturesque sunset here is renowned worldwide, but during your photoshoot, you’ll mainly enjoy the more peaceful, less crowded parts of the village, with views over the caldera.
Imerovigli offers a slightly quieter, more elevated vantage point. It’s often called the “balcony to the Aegean” because of its breathtaking views over the sea and volcano. Its narrow alleys and charming churches make for stunning backdrops, especially if you prefer a less touristy vibe.
Both spots are easily accessible and offer different but equally spectacular scenery. The photographer will guide you to the best angles, ensuring you get a variety of shots that highlight Santorini’s unique charm.
The Dress Selection and Personalization
Choosing from a range of elegant flying dresses is one of the highlights. Whether you prefer a classic white gown, a flowing pastel, or a bold ombre dress, this is your chance to feel glamorous. The dresses are designed to flow in the wind, adding drama and movement to your photos.
The experience includes a styling session, so you can select the dress that best suits your personality and the mood you want to evoke. This personal touch allows each photoshoot to feel unique and tailored to you.
