Your Flying Dress Photoshoot Questions, Answered

A flying dress photoshoot is a new experience for most people, so it is natural to have questions. These are the ones we hear most often before a booking, with straight answers. If yours isn't here, ask us through the chat or WhatsApp at the bottom of this page: we usually reply within a few minutes.

1. What is included in a flying dress photoshoot?

Every flying dress package includes the shoot with your photographer, a flying dress from our collection, every photo color corrected in full high resolution, a set number of retouched photos, and creative guidance and posing help. Larger packages add hair and makeup, an Instagram reel, a personal assistant and a private transfer. Question 2 tells you where to compare them.

2. How much does it cost?

Packages in Santorini, Athens and Mykonos start at €370 for a 30 minute shoot. Marilyn, our most popular package, is €570 for one hour. Dubai packages start at €760. Couples pay the same price as one person, because prices depend on the length of the shoot, not the number of people. All prices and extras are on the pricing page.

3. How long does a shoot take?

From 30 minutes to 3.5 hours, depending on the package. One hour is the most popular choice: long enough for several spots and looks without rushing. You can add an extra hour with extra photos for €320 if you tell us in advance.

4. How do I book and pay?

Choose your package and, if you like, your dress, then secure your date with a 50% deposit. Payment is online and secure, with Stripe. The rest is paid as stated in your booking confirmation.

5. What if I need to cancel?

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your shoot. The full cancellation policy is in our Terms & Conditions.

6. How do I choose my dress?

Browse the collection, where you can filter by size, color and style. You can choose before booking or after, with our help. Start with our guide to choosing your flying dress, then the color guide and the styles for every body type.

7. Where will the photos be taken?

In Santorini we photograph in six spots: Imerovigli, our recommended location, Oia, Finikia, Megalochori, Prophet Elias and Columbus Beach. Tell us your favorite when you book, or ask us to suggest one. We send the exact meeting point on Google Maps 1 to 2 days before your photoshoot. Two spots in one shoot is sometimes possible; ask us.

8. When is the best time of day?

The hour before sunset gives the warmest light, which is why it is the most popular time. It is also the busiest, especially in Oia, so your photographer chooses quieter spots. Early morning is a wonderful alternative: soft light and quiet lanes. In summer we usually avoid the middle of the day, which is bright and hot.

9. Can my partner or children join?

Yes. Partners and children join your shoot at no extra cost, and couples pay the same price as one person. A girls' dress can be added for €70, so mother and daughter can match. For several ladies who each want a dress, see our group photoshoots.

10. What should I bring?

As little as possible: comfortable shoes that slip on and off, water, sunscreen for daytime sessions and a hair clip. The paths are often uneven, so it helps to have your hands free. Our photoshoot checklist has the full list.

11. How and when will I receive my photos?

All your photos arrive through Dropbox, color corrected and in full quality, and they stay available there for 1 year. You then choose your favorites for retouching, within 6 months of your photoshoot, and the retouched photos follow. Each package lists its delivery times on the pricing page; the larger the package, the faster.

12. What is the difference between color correction and retouching?

Color correction balances the colors, exposure and contrast, and it is done on every photo. Light retouch cleans the background and smooths the dress. Signature retouch goes further, with detailed editing of skin, body, dress and background for magazine quality results. Each package includes a set number of light and signature retouched photos.

13. Can I use the photos however I want?

Yes. Every package includes unlimited usage rights: share, print and publish your photos, for personal and commercial purposes.

14. Will you post my photos online?

We may use photos from your shoot on our website and social media, which is how most of our clients found us. If you would rather we didn't, add the "Complete confidentiality of your photoshoot" extra (€170) and we won't publish any photo from your shoot. The details are in our Terms & Conditions (linked in question 5).

15. What if the weather is bad?

If it rains, we reschedule your shoot for later the same day or for the next day, if your plans allow it. If that isn't possible, we refund you. Wind is a different story: a breeze is what makes the dress fly, and when it is too strong we change the village rather than cancel. With a strong north wind, for example, Oia is more sheltered than Imerovigli.
