The Guide to a Santorini Flying Dress Photoshoot

Visiting Santorini is like a dream. It’s hard to fathom just how incredible the stunning scenery is. White buildings cling to the edge of what once used to be a volcano. And everywhere you look, your jaw continues to drop in awe because there is nowhere quite like Santorini.

One of the more popular trends to emerge on social media is the stunningly beautiful flying dress photoshoots.

And with the stunning backdrop of Santorini, it’s easy to see why the flying dress of Santorini has exploded in popularity. Beautiful satin gowns, armies of photographers, and make-up artists transform women, couples, and families into superstars.

A Santorini flying dress photoshoot is one of the most memorable activities on the island and is completely unforgettable.

Reasons to add a Santorini flying dress photoshoot to your vacation Bucketlist

  • A once-in-a-lifetime experience to be the star of your own photoshoot.
  • The incredible location of dreamy Santorini is unlike anywhere else in the world.
  • Feel like a celebrity with a team of photographers and make-up artists.
  • Be a goddess.
  • Unforgettable memories from your vacation to Greece.
  • When you’re 90 years old, how amazing will it be to look back on your Santorini flying dress pictures?

Discovering the Santorini Flying Dress

It started with a beautiful girl dressed in a satin red flowy dress scurrying through the main street of Oia, Santorini. She had her head down and was led by a man through the small throng of people. At the time I thought it a bit strange that she had her beautiful red dress wrapped around her arms and was being guided by a gentleman with a backpack.

10 minutes later I spotted her, red dress flying in the wind against the most magnificent backdrop of white buildings with blue-domed churches. I had just discovered the flying dress of Santorini.

As we made our way around Oia and Imerovigli it became clear that this was not just a once-off but a most definite recurrence. From our balcony in our hotel in Oia, over a 24-hour period, we witnessed 11 photoshoots in every dress color you can imagine.

From a family of 4 (mom, dad, and their two daughters) to a solo shoot in every available breathtaking spot, I watched in awe at the incredible beauty of both Santorini and the flying dress photo shoots

Naturally, my interest was piqued. Santorini is one of the most visually stunning places I’ve ever visited. We witnessed photoshoot after photoshoot of the flying dresses in locations that were straight out of a Vogue photoshoot. Was a Santorini flying dress actually affordable? 

How much does a Santorini flying dress photoshoot cost? 

Unsurprisingly, organizing a professional photographer and renting a flying dress does not come cheap. But should you wish to have a once-in-a-lifetime vacation experience in Santorini, the average price for the flying dress and dress rental and professional photographer is around $400 per hour. 

The dresses range from $200 to $1000 for the hiring of the dress and then an additional starting price of $250 for a professional photographer. For $250 you can hire a professional photographer for 30 minutes and it includes 15 Hi-Res Digital Photos. With all the incredible Instagram spots in Santorini, especially Oia, you would need a minimum of an hour to get all the shots. 

Obviously, the more money you have, the longer you can have with the photographer and perhaps do multiple locations. Some places insist that you use their photographer too, so be aware before committing to one place. All in all, a minimum of $450 for a world-class view and iconic photos, seems like a super deal.
