A Closer Look at the Santorini Flying Dress Photo Shoot

What to Expect from the Experience

This one-hour adventure begins in the heart of Imerovigli, a village renowned for its stunning views and fewer crowds compared to Oia. Your guide and photographer, Michael (or his team), will greet you and help you select a flying dress from seven available colors. If you have a favorite, you can request it, but generally, the choice adds a fun element of surprise and customization.

Before snapping any pictures, there’s a quick fitting session. Since the dress rental isn’t included, you’ll want to clarify whether you plan to bring your own or purchase one separately. Once dressed, the photographer will help with posing and movement—think flowing fabric, wind, and dynamic angles—to make the most of the breathtaking scenery. The goal is to create images with your dress flowing beautifully against Santorini’s famous blue domes, churches, and caldera.

The session typically includes stops at iconic locations like Oia or Imerovigli, with a photo stop in Oia lasting around an hour. During this time, you’ll have ample opportunity to explore and enjoy the scenery while the photographer captures your moments. The private group setting means no crowds bustling into shots—just you, your loved ones, and the spectacular backdrop.
