Flying Dress Photoshooting
A dress that feels like motion. This Santorini session turns a short, guided walk into a flying dress photo story, with one dress and four photo locations built into about one hour. I love how much coaching you get while you shoot, so you are not left guessing your poses. I also love the deliverable, 15-20 color-corrected high-resolution photos that arrive in 7-10 days. One drawback to plan for, it depends on good weather.
The session is run by photographer Rei Hajdari, and you meet in Imerovigli. You walk together to multiple spots during the entire shoot, with a personal assistant helping keep the session moving smoothly. If you want extra variety, one couple even swapped from the provided dress to a wedding dress for more pictures while still keeping the focus on the lady.

Flying dress photos in Santorini: why it works so well
Santorini has the kind of light that makes even a simple photo look special. This shoot takes that advantage and adds movement, the whole point of a flying dress concept, so your pictures feel like they have a story instead of looking posed and stiff.
In practical terms, this is not just a walk and a camera click. You get structured time with Rei Hajdari, and you get guidance on how to stand, turn, and move so your dress looks like it is floating. One review stood out for how much the dress choice helped with emotion, a red dress that made the moment feel instantly memorable.
Starting in Imerovigli and shooting at four spots in one hour
You start in Imerovigli, and the activity ends back at the same meeting point. The whole session is about 1 hour and you spend that time walking together to multiple spots, with photos taken during the entire experience.
Because there are 4 different locations in that single hour, the shoot is designed to be efficient. The first part usually focuses on getting your full-dress silhouettes and clean angles. Then you move into more portrait-friendly spots where the background is simpler and the posing can shift from dramatic movement to tight, flattering framing.
Here is how to think about the flow, even if the exact viewpoints vary by day:
- Stop 1, setup and full-dress shots. This is where Rei helps you find a pose that makes the dress look airy, not tangled.
- Stop 2, movement and direction. You are coached to adjust your stance while you walk or turn, so the fabric catches light.
- Stop 3, close portraits. This is where you shift emphasis to your face and expression, while still keeping the dress as the hero.
- Stop 4, finishing set. This last stretch is built for variety, often including options for photos together if you are in a couple.
A small consideration: because it is a walking session, you will want to feel comfortable moving on uneven stone and steps. You can absolutely do it, but you will get more out of it if you dress for walking, not just for photos.
What you do with the included dress, and how to plan for extra outfits
The session includes 1 dress. That matters because it removes one big uncertainty, you do not have to coordinate rental timing or figure out what will photograph well on the spot.
That said, the best results often come from planning how you want the story to look. In one experience, the couple used the provided dress and then switched to a wedding dress for additional shots. That tells you two useful things:
- you can bring a second outfit if you want different vibes
- the photographer can keep the focus on the lady, even when you change clothes
What is not included is make up, so if you want a bridal look or a more polished evening style, plan to handle makeup yourself. If you are relying on makeup that needs touch-ups, bring what you need so you do not waste time during the session.

Rei Hajdari’s pose coaching, and why it shows in the results
This shoot is guided. Rei Hajdari has 10 years of experience, and that experience is used to direct you through poses rather than hoping you instinctively find the right angles.
In a short, one-hour session, pose coaching is the difference between photos that look good by luck and photos that look good because the photographer understands body angles and how people hold themselves. You are not just holding still. You are being coached for the full set, including the parts of the walk where you might otherwise fidget or lose your rhythm.
One review called Rei out directly for being both an excellent photographer and easy to work with. That matters more than people think. When someone is calm and clear, you stop worrying about how you look and start concentrating on doing the pose he asks for. That is when the “flying dress” effect looks natural, not forced.
Your edited photos: 15-20 color-corrected images in 7-10 days
You do not leave with a stack of random shots. You receive 15-20 color corrected photos that are high-resolution and delivered in 7-10 days.
For value, this is a sweet spot. You get enough variety to choose favorites for printing or sharing, but the photographer is not sending a giant dump of unpolished images. Color correction also matters in Santorini because lighting can shift fast, especially if you are moving between spots. The goal is consistency, so your photos look like they belong to the same story.
A practical tip: once the final photos arrive, pick one or two that feel like your “main” images and use those to decide what to post. If you share everything at once, the set loses impact. But if you highlight the strongest shots, your whole album feels intentional.
Price and value: what you get for $361.16 per group up to 2
The price is $361.16 per group, up to 2 people. That might sound like a lot until you look at what is included.
Here is what your money covers:
- a 1 hour professional photoshoot
- 1 dress included
- 4 different locations
- a personal assistant
- 15-20 color corrected photos
- 7-10 days delivery of edited images
- government fees and admission fees for everything included
Two things make this feel like good value. First, the dress and assistant are part of the package, so you are not paying extra to rent the right outfit or manage the details during the shoot. Second, “admissions and government fees are included” helps reduce surprise add-ons.
What is not included is private transportation and makeup. If you are already staying close to Imerovigli, you might handle getting to the meeting point easily. If you are farther away, factor in how you will arrive and return, because the shoot starts and ends back at the meeting point in Imerovigli.
This is best suited for:
- couples who want standout portraits without doing a full day of logistics
- people celebrating something specific, like anniversaries or proposals
- anyone who wants a more coached experience than a DIY photo session
Weather, timing, and how to avoid last-minute stress
This experience requires good weather. If it is canceled due to poor weather, you will be offered a different date or a full refund.
That is the big planning factor, because the “flying” look often depends on having the dress move naturally in outdoor light. So I suggest you schedule your shoot earlier in your trip window if possible. That gives you room to reschedule if conditions change.
Also, sessions are commonly booked ahead, and the average booking lead time is about 26 days. If your dates are fixed, lock it in early. A short, private one-hour slot is the kind of thing that gets taken.
Finally, you get a mobile ticket, so have it ready on your phone for the start time. Arriving a bit early helps too, because it gives you time to get settled before the shooting begins.
Should you book this flying dress session?
I think you should book it if you want guided, high-impact portraits in a short timeframe. The combination of pose coaching, a dress included, four photo stops, and color-corrected photos delivered in 7-10 days makes this feel like a complete package, not a basic walking tour with a camera.
Skip it only if you know you hate posing, or if you need something very informal and unstructured. Also, if you cannot be flexible with weather, the outdoor setting is a reality check.
If you are celebrating your partner, or you want images that look like more than a standard vacation snapshot, this is one of the clearest ways to get that result.
