Santorini: Flying Dress Photoshoot Oia Blue Domes & Pickup

Summary

Private flying dress shoot in oia with local photographer and pickup

You’ll slip into a handmade flying dress and stroll through Oia’s marble lanes while a local photographer captures you against Santorini’s famous blue domes and caldera views. Includes hotel pickup from Oia or Imerovigli, help choosing your dress color, an assistant making your gown “fly,” and 50 professionally edited photos sent after your shoot. You might even surprise yourself with how fun it feels.

What’s the experience like?

Someone’s holding out this wild red dress — honestly, it looks like a flag at first — and then our photographer, Nikos, grins and says, “Let’s make you fly.” I’d seen those flying dress photos from Santorini before but didn’t expect to actually feel the fabric whip around me like that. The wind up near the Oia castle is no joke. There’s a woman helping too (Maria? I think), who keeps tossing the train into the air just as Nikos counts down. I’m laughing because it feels ridiculous and kind of magical at the same time. Tourists wander by with their gelato, some stop to watch, but for a minute it’s just us and that crazy blue sky.

We started in Oia — they picked me up right near my hotel in Imerovigli, which was easy since I always get lost in those marble streets. You get to pick your flying dress color (I went for emerald green after way too much indecision), and then Nikos leads you through these little alleyways past whitewashed houses and sleepy cats. He points out where the light hits best for photos, tells stories about growing up here (“My grandmother used to yell at us for climbing on the domes,” he admits). The caldera view is even more unreal when you’re standing there wrapped in all that fabric — I kept catching my reflection in windows and not recognizing myself.

I didn’t realize how much work goes into getting those shots — there’s a lot of waiting for wind or dodging selfie sticks. At one point Maria tried to teach me how to say “dress” in Greek (φόρεμα), but I probably butchered it; she laughed anyway. We ended up by one of the blue-domed churches, sun starting to dip a little, everything smelling faintly of sea salt and sunscreen. It’s weird how quickly you forget about everyone else watching. Afterward, Nikos showed me some previews on his camera — honestly, I still think about that view behind me.
