Dress Rental and Dress Flying Assistant
The flying dress rental itself is the centerpiece of the experience. Participants can choose from a variety of flowing, ethereal dresses designed for aerial photography.
A dedicated dress flying assistant helps maneuver the dress during photo shoots, ensuring it billows and flows gracefully. The assistant uses techniques like tossing, fluffing, and gently pulling the fabric to create dynamic, wind-swept looks.
This specialized assistance allows participants to focus on posing and enjoying the experience, rather than managing the dress. The all-inclusive package includes the dress rental, dress flying assistant, and all unedited photos captured during the session.
Capturing the Magic With a Private Photographer
What truly brings the flying dress experience to life is the private photographer who captures the magical, wind-swept moments. With an expert eye, the photographer immortalizes the dress as it dances gracefully in the air, the model’s hair flowing freely. The result is a series of stunning, one-of-a-kind images that will forever preserve the unforgettable memory.
