Private Flying Dress Photoshoot in Santorini
Book on Viator →Operated by SantoriniDress · Bookable on Viator
Santorini photos get a fun twist. This private flying dress photoshoot pairs a simple, photo-ready dress with an assistant who helps you get that dramatic “caught in the wind” look, in and around Imerovigli. I especially like that your photographer works with you on poses and location choices, so it feels less like a production and more like a guided walk with picture-perfect moments.
I also like the photo workflow: you get color-corrected previews first, then you choose your favorites for full editing. One heads-up: the package includes one dress for one woman only, and if you’re bringing a second woman (or adding sizes), extra dress costs apply.

Why Imerovigli Works So Well for a Dress Photoshoot
Santorini already gives you big-time visuals, but Imerovigli is a smart choice for a photoshoot like this. It’s the kind of area where you can get that classic cliffside feeling without needing to coordinate a bunch of public stops. For your session, the plan is simple: you meet your photographer close to the best photoshoot spots, then you walk and shoot through the most picturesque locations available.
What makes this practical is that you’re not spending your limited shoot time searching. You’re starting with a prepared plan that includes a dress swap and time to capture multiple angles. Even if you’re not a “model type,” the assistant component matters. A lot of “moving dress” photos fail because people don’t know how to hold the fabric or how far to step. Here, you’re not left alone to figure it out.

What Happens Before You Arrive (So You’re Not Guessing)

This experience is built around communication. Once you book, a manager contacts you to finalize details like the number of participants, the time of day you prefer, and whether you have specific pose or location requests. And yes, your dress selection matters here—your dress is brought to you, and the photographer assists with changing.
A few days before the shoot, you’ll get another confirmation. That’s a big deal if you’re traveling and juggling hotel logistics, cruise timing, or transfers. It keeps the “where do we meet” question from turning into a scramble on the day.
Also, keep in mind that sessions are typically booked ahead—on average, about 54 days in advance. If you have a specific week in mind (especially during peak season), you’ll want to lock it in early so you get the time of day you want.
Meeting Point and Pickup Options Without the Stress

Your photographer meets you in the city center close to the best photoshoot spots. The exact meeting point is sent to you in advance. The starting point is listed as CCMC+QM Imerovigli, Greece, and the session ends back at the meeting point.
Pickup is offered, and you have options if you’re not right in the center:
- Hotel meeting (if your hotel is nearby the best photoshoot areas)
- Private transfers for an extra charge from hotels in other cities, the cable car exit (useful for cruise guests), or the airport
Two things I’d plan around: first, you’re in a private setup, so you’ll want clear pickup expectations with your operator. Second, the day-of schedule matters because the shoot is about 1 hour 15 minutes total, so building in extra buffer time if you’re coming from farther away is smart.
The Imerovigli Stop: What Your Photographer Will Actually Do

Your session is based around one main stop: Imerovigli. You’ll spend roughly one hour as the photo tour (with a total experience time around 1 hour 15 minutes). That timing is important. It means you’ll likely get a focused set of looks rather than a long, slow wandering session.
The photographer’s job is twofold:
- Get you dressed and moving so the dress works on camera
- Guide locations and poses so you get the best visual variety within the time window
You’ll explore the most picturesque locations available for the time you have. The key is that location selection happens with your planning input. If you have a specific style of shot in mind—more dramatic wind movement, softer pose lines, or a particular backdrop vibe—this format is designed to incorporate that.
If weather shifts, the operator requires good weather. If your session gets canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered another date or a full refund. That’s the right approach for a dress-on-the-move style shoot.
The Dress-Flying Assistant: The Difference Between Pretty and Photogenic

This is the core value here: you’re not just wearing a dress and hoping the photos come out right. You have an assistant whose specific job includes helping the dress fly.
That changes the whole look. A “flowy” dress can look stiff if you move awkwardly or if you don’t know how to lift and release the fabric at the right moment. With an assistant, you can focus on your expression and body shape while they handle the movement cues.
Dress details also matter:
- Included is one plain dress from the catalog (sizes XS–XXL)
- You’re not getting cloud, fluffy, or glitter dresses as part of the package
- The dress is in good condition, and the staff help with changing if needed
One practical note for your planning: because the included dress is one per woman, you’ll want to think ahead if you’re traveling with a friend who also wants to be in the photos. You can add an extra dress for the second woman (price starts around €100 depending on style) and add a child’s dress (€60). Dress sharing isn’t allowed.
Photo Set and Editing Timeline (Clear, Not Vague)

Here’s the part that saves you from uncertainty: the photo deliverables are spelled out.
What you’ll receive from the shoot:
- 15 color-corrected full-resolution JPGs
- 6 retouched photos (also full-resolution JPG)
You’ll get access to select your photos within 10 calendar days after your session. These selection images are delivered in web quality so you can choose quickly without downloading everything.
Then comes the final edit: the fully edited photos are delivered within 30 calendar days from the date you pick your favorites. Delivery includes:
- High-resolution files
- A social media-optimized version
One more detail I like: they keep an electronic copy of the material for one year in case you lose your files. That’s useful if you’re the type who saves things on your phone and then changes phones two months later.
Price and Value: What $784.42 Actually Buys

The price is listed as $784.42 per group (up to 5). That group price structure matters because it changes how you think about value.
This package is private, so you’re paying for:
- A photographer
- An assistant for the dress-flying help
- A dedicated shoot in Imerovigli
- One included plain dress (XS–XXL)
- A defined photo deliverable set and clear edit timeline
Where value gets tricky: because the included dress is for one woman only, the “cheapest way” to make this work is usually one adult woman per session in the included outfit. If you want multiple women in the same shoot, you’ll likely pay for added dresses. That can still be worth it—especially if everyone wants a matching look and you want the same shooting window—but it’s not a free-for-all for multiple outfits.
Also note that transportation isn’t included. If you’re staying close to the meeting point, pickup may feel simple. If you’re farther out, factor in private transfers as an added cost.
If you want the short version: this is best value when you’re planning it as a focused, one-person glamour session with dress-flying help and a tidy editing schedule.
What to Wear and How to Prepare (Without Overthinking)

Even though the dress is provided, you still want to show up ready to change quickly and move comfortably. Plan for:
- Clothing that makes it easy to swap into the dress
- Sensible footwear for walking around during the shoot (you won’t be in heels the whole time, especially if you’re taking steps to make the dress flow)
- A calm attitude about direction. The photographer will guide poses and location choices, and it works best when you follow those cues.
Also, since you’re doing a movement-based dress style, don’t rely on “I hope the wind helps.” The assistant helps you get the movement, so you’ll be in better hands.
Who This Photoshoot Is Best For
This is a strong fit if you:
- Want a private, guided photo experience rather than a self-timer scramble
- Like the idea of a dress designed for wind-and-motion photos
- Want photos delivered on a set schedule with both previews and retouching
- Are traveling with a friend or family member who wants to watch (family/friends may join free of charge)
It’s also a good choice if you’re celebrating something. You can treat it like a mini ritual: dress on, instructions, a focused walk, and you leave with a curated set of images.
If you’re a group of three or more women, pricing changes to a group rate and you’ll need to contact for pricing. If you want multiple fancy dress styles like glitter or fluffy options, those aren’t included in the base package—so set expectations early.
Should You Book This Private Flying Dress Photoshoot?
I’d book it if you want photos that look intentional—wind-swept, well posed, and delivered with a real editing plan—without spending your day chasing strangers for spot ideas. The assistant support is the standout feature, and the editing timeline is clear enough that you won’t feel stuck waiting forever.
Skip it (or at least price-check carefully) if your main goal is group photos for multiple women in multiple included dresses, because the included dress is only for one woman. Also, be honest about your weather tolerance. Since the session requires good weather, you’ll want flexibility in your trip.
If you’re one woman (or you’re adding dress costs intentionally) and you want a guided, private Santorini moment centered on Imerovigli, this is one of those experiences that turns “pretty travel photos” into something you’ll actually keep.
