What to Expect from the Experience

From the moment you start, the preparation lounge in Oia sets a relaxed tone. Here, you’ll choose from over 60 dresses in a variety of sizes (most typically US 0-22) and colors. This is where you can really tailor the look — do you want something dreamy and pale, or bold and vibrant? Feel free to sip a chilled glass of Santorini wine or a non-alcoholic beverage as you get ready, which helps ease any nerves and gets you in a celebratory mood.

Once you’re dressed and ready to go, the real fun begins. Your professional photographer, an expert in the flying dress aesthetic, will guide you through a series of poses. Even if you’ve never modeled before, no worries — they’ll help you look your best, emphasizing the dress’s flow and capturing the wind in your favor. An assistant is also on hand to make sure your dress billows just right, which makes all the difference in creating those cinematic shots.

The Locations: Iconic and Hidden Gems

This photoshoot isn’t limited to just the well-known viewpoints. Your photographer has a knack for finding secret spots within Oia that are often only known to locals, meaning you’ll avoid the crowds and get more intimate, authentic shots. The locations range from cliffside vistas over the caldera — with those stunning, postcard-perfect views — to tucked-away alleys with charming whitewashed walls and blue accents.

The combination of breathtaking vistas and quiet corners delivers a variety of backdrops, making your photo collection diverse and visually rich. It’s a major perk that the photographer’s local knowledge ensures you’ll visit only the most photogenic spots, which adds to the overall quality of your images.

Timing and Duration

You can choose between a 30-minute session with 45 edited photos or a full hour for 170 images. The longer session naturally provides more shots and flexibility, but the shorter can be just as effective if you’re pressed for time. The timing is flexible within the day, but the early morning or golden hour is recommended. These times tend to be less crowded and offer softer, more flattering light — perfect for that dreamy, glowing look.

A quick behind-the-scenes video taken on your phone is included, giving you a fun snippet of your dress swirling in the breeze — great for sharing on social media.

You’ll get a professional photoshoot, assistance from a helper, posing guidance, and a gallery of between 45 and 170 high-resolution edited photos. They also throw in a behind-the-scenes video shot with your iPhone, which adds a personal touch to the experience.

However, it’s worth noting that make-up, hair styling, photoshop retouching, and RAW files are not included. If you want a complete look, you might consider doing your hair and makeup beforehand. Also, extra time or photos can be purchased, but they aren’t included in the package.

Price and Value

At $219 per group of up to three people, the cost might seem steep for a photoshoot. But when you think about the professional guidance, exclusive locations, and high-resolution images, the value becomes clearer. Many travelers find that the quality and uniqueness of these images are worth the investment, especially if you’re celebrating a special moment or want truly memorable souvenirs.

The dress rental is €100 outside the initial selection, so if you’re keen on a particular style or color, budget for that extra. The included dresses are of good quality, and the assistance ensures you look natural and relaxed.

Reviews and Real Feedback

One traveler from Germany gave a glowing 5-star review, saying, “Everything was great. I’d definitely use them again. The photographer went above and beyond and was totally professional.” This suggests a high level of satisfaction with the professionalism and quality of the images. The emphasis on the photographer’s deep local knowledge means you’re likely to get less generic, more authentic shots that truly capture Santorini’s charm.

Who Is This For?

This experience suits those who want high-quality, styled photos with a touch of glamour. It’s ideal for honeymooners, couples celebrating a milestone, or solo travelers who want a memorable visual story.

On the other hand, if you’re after professional images that highlight Santorini’s beauty while making you feel like a star, this tour hits the mark.

It’s not suitable for people over 350 lbs or those over 95 years old, which makes sense given the physical requirements of the dress and the activity.
