Santorini: Oia Flying Dress Photoshoot by SokoLOVE – A Detailed Review
When it comes to capturing the magic of Santorini, few experiences manage to combine scenery, style, and professionalism as elegantly as the Oia Flying Dress Photoshoot offered by SokoLOVE.

Starting Point: The Preparation Lounge in Oia
Your adventure begins in a dedicated preparation lounge in Oia, where the magic really kicks off. Here, you’ll have the chance to browse through over 60 dresses in a range of sizes—mostly US 022—and vibrant colors that suit your style. The dresses are designed to flow beautifully in the breeze, creating that signature cinematic look.
The lounge offers a relaxed, boutique feel—think of it as a mini fashion studio. As you select your outfit, you can sip on a chilled drink—possibly local Santorini wine or a non-alcoholic beverage—to settle into the moment. This setup helps you feel pampered before stepping out into the stunning streets of Oia.
Tip: If you’re worried about comfort, wear shoes you can easily walk in since cobblestone streets are part of the charm of Oia, but not always the easiest surface for heels or sandals.
Exploring Oia’s Iconic and Hidden Spots
Once dressed, you’ll set out with your photographer—an expert in capturing the flowing dress effect and making you look natural and radiant. Your guide will take you to some of Oia’s most famous viewpoints, like the blue-domed churches and cliffside vistas, as well as lesser-known alleys and secret nooks only locals or insiders might know.
This part of the experience is what makes it truly special. Instead of fake tourist spots packed with crowds, you’ll get to enjoy quiet, scenic corners where the backdrop of white houses, blue skies, and the Aegean Sea is yours alone—or at least less crowded.
The photographer’s knowledge of the best angles and light conditions means you’ll be in capable hands. The guide also helps with posing tips, ensuring your photos look natural without you needing any modeling experience. They will coordinate the dress’s movement, often with an assistant, who helps catch the breeze just right for those beautifully flowing shots.
The Actual Photoshoot: Timing & Options
You have two options: a 30-minute session, offering around 30-45 edited photos, or a full 60-minute experience with 60-170 images. The longer session allows for more variety—posing in different locations, capturing both candid and posed moments.
During the shoot, your photographer might also record a short video clip on your phone—perfect for sharing on social media or just reliving the moment. The editing process is handled professionally, with photos delivered in high resolution (6K) for printing, as well as optimized formats for sharing online.
Pro Tip: Booking during early morning or the golden hour is recommended. This timing not only helps avoid crowds but offers softer, more flattering light that enhances the dress’s flowing effect and the scenery’s natural hues.

However, extras like make-up, hair styling, and Photoshop retouching are not included. You’ll also need to rent the flying dress for €100, unless you bring your own. Transportation to and from the meeting point isn’t provided, so plan accordingly.
Why This Experience Is Worth It
This isn’t just about taking photos; it’s about creating memories that capture the essence of Santorini’s beauty and your personal style. The combination of a professional photographer, carefully selected locations, and a flowing dress creates a cinematic effect that’s hard to replicate on your own.
You’ll love the way your guide and photographer make you feel comfortable, even if you’re shy or new to modeling. The expert guidance ensures your photos are natural, flattering, and timeless. Plus, the variety of scenic backdrops means your collection of images will be diverse—from romantic twirls against the caldera to serene shots with the iconic blue domes in the background.
While the price might seem high at first glance, considering the quality of the photos and the personalized experience, many travelers find it a worthwhile expense—especially as a special treat or memory of their trip.
Who Will Love This Experience?
This session is ideal for couples wanting romantic keepsakes, honeymooners eager for stunning portraits, or solo travelers looking to add a glamorous touch to their Santorini trip. It’s also perfect for anyone celebrating a milestone or simply wanting to feel like a model in one of Greece’s most photographed locations.
The experience is most enjoyable if you’re open to trying new poses and embracing the playful, carefree vibe of the flowing dress. If you’re camera-shy or prefer posed, static photos, this might not be your best fit—but for those looking for dynamic, lively images, it’s a perfect fit.
