If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into a fairy tale, a flying dress photoshoot in Santorini might just be your ticket. While I haven’t personally tried this experience, I’ve spent time researching it and talking to travelers who have, and I can tell you it’s one of those activities that promises a blend of beauty, creativity, and a touch of glamour. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, a special occasion, or simply want to capture unforgettable memories, this photoshoot is designed to help you do just that.
What truly stands out about this experience is the personalized guidance from a seasoned local photographer and the promise of incredible views at multiple iconic and off-the-beaten-path locations. Plus, having a professional edit and deliver high-res images within a week means you’ll have stunning photos to cherish for years. That said, it’s worth noting that this is a private experience, so the intimacy and attention you receive are tailored just for your group, which can make all the difference.
A potential consideration is the weather – since this is an outdoor activity, poor conditions could impact the experience and delay your photos. Also, keep in mind that transportation isn’t included, so plan accordingly. This tour is especially well-suited for couples, honeymooners, or anyone looking to add a touch of elegance and fun to their Santorini trip.

The Experience Breakdown: What You Can Expect
This photoshoot lasts around one hour, giving plenty of time to explore and pose at each location without feeling rushed. It begins in Imerovigli, a stunning area known for its dramatic views and charming streets. From there, you’ll visit four different spots carefully chosen to show off Santorini’s best angles, from iconic landmarks to hidden gems.
Throughout the session, the photographer provides step-by-step guidance on poses, ensuring you look your best without feeling awkward. Whether you’re used to being in front of the camera or a bit nervous, this professional’s tips will help you feel confident and relaxed. The goal is to produce natural, beautiful shots that capture the magic of the moment.
One of the highlights is the included dress – a key part of the “flying dress” experience. This flowing gown typically adds a dramatic, ethereal quality to photos, especially when captured against Santorini’s distinctive caldera views or colorful sunsets. Being able to switch to a wedding dress for more personalized shots, as some reviews mention, is a wonderful extra.
The tour concludes back at your starting point, leaving you with a collection of 15-20 beautifully edited photos. The turnaround is approximately 7 to 10 days, giving you time to select your favorites for printing or sharing online. The high-resolution images are a great way to remember your trip with a touch of elegance.

The Value of This Photoshoot
At $361.16 per group, this experience isn’t exactly cheap — but it’s also a chance to get professionally crafted images that stand out far beyond typical vacation photos. The price covers a one-hour shoot, four different locations, a dress, and the editing process. For couples wanting a special keepsake or a memorable anniversary gift, this could be a worthwhile splurge.
Think of it as an investment in quality photography combined with a fun, memorable activity. The reviews reinforce this: one traveler mentioned how their wife loved feeling beautiful and stunning in her dress, and they appreciated the ability to also capture moments in her wedding dress. The expert guidance and variety of locations ensure your photos will be diverse and striking.
On the other hand, keep in mind that you might want to budget for extras like makeup or private transportation if needed, as those aren’t included. Also, if weather isn’t cooperating, the photographer offers full refunds or rescheduling options, which provides some peace of mind.

It also suits travelers who appreciate high-quality photography and are comfortable in front of the camera. However, if you’re looking for a quick, budget-friendly snapshot session, this may not be the best pick. It’s best for those who want a curated experience and are willing to spend a bit extra for exceptional photos.
