Flying Dress Santorini Photoshoot: An Amazing Review

Right, so you’ve probably seen those completely amazing photos, images of a flowing dress set against the pure white buildings and bright blue domes of Santorini, you know, blowing gently in the island breeze. The pictures are very hard to miss – and if you’re anything like me – you are kinda wondering if one of those experiences might, potentially, be something worth looking into for yourself. I will run through my experiences. Now, let’s see if one of these photoshoots is genuinely worth your time and, indeed, money.

What is that Appeal, though, Seriously?

Seriously, pictures don’t even truly do it all the justice that, to be honest, it definitely deserves. I think what really gets most people, and very understandably so, is that mix of simple luxury and, too it’s almost, utter timelessness. It could be that the bright dress is, in a way, such a stark contrast to those classic Cycladic designs that it actually manages to pop right off the screen (or, basically, the caldera if you are there yourself, clearly!). That light you get there is, often, very warm and magical, especially early in the morning and later in the afternoon, and I feel it kinda lends these photos a dreamy sort of quality you just can’t totally put your finger on. It is almost like you are grabbing a memory out of a postcard.

What Exactly Do You Get?, well the actual package!

So, what’s typically included could be, very understandably, depending on who you decide to actually book with, anyway, but there are usually some pretty, just really typical elements: First of all, the Dress: That’s kinda the main thing, of course, honestly! You, in some respects, normally get to select from a variety of very vibrant colors and a selection of styles to find something that does actually sing to your soul. Like your hair and makeup is, often, factored in, getting you completely photoshoot-ready by the time you arrive at your shoot spot. Also, most packages have, pretty much, a professional photographer who can pose you, tell you where you should be looking, and know all the finest spots for the views, the best lighting, very very clearly!. You’re normally talking about an hour or two for shooting, again this really does depend, giving them enough opportunity to grab you a selection of varied shots at many locations. In short, almost all the companies do retouching and, arguably, editing to smooth everything down to the final finish on those chosen photos – those ones to blow everyone away on Insta.

Budget, or What’s the Actual Cost, then?

Pricing has, mostly, a rather vast range. Santorini is really very popular, like your talking THE place to be, honestly, which usually reflects in the cost. You could potentially be looking at costs in the neighborhood of €300 to over €1000, possibly, even! I feel that factors like just how long you actually need, how famous the photographer basically is, and what the actual heck the dress fabric kinda costs will adjust the actual number in the end. Clearly, it’s often about where they take the pictures, some places cost extra permit fees to actually use.

Selecting the right type of Package, is that what I should do first?

Yeah, selecting can be kinda tricky, to be honest. You should think very, very carefully about what actually matters the most to you, alright? If your budget happens to be kinda tight, look into packages which offer fewer photos but, possibly, at less well known spots; that is, places without really superb caldera vistas, as an example. If what’s important to you is a big name photographer, and that is totally OK, you might want to extend what you can actually pay overall. Also, consider whether makeup really matters that much. And you could bring someone to help that saves loads!. Review portfolios very carefully before fully committing. This can very possibly really give you a very good understanding on style and to find if it all is quite the vibe you imagined. In essence, read absolutely every little thing before booking anything. Actually, that avoids very horrible hidden costs later. And what the cancellation looks like.

Planning and Prep Work

Honestly, schedule well ahead of time to nail your favorite photographer and, perhaps, time slot. In fact, mornings usually offer softer light coupled with, arguably, fewer people. Communicate. Communicate with, maybe, the company what exactly your kinda envision. Talking is just really super essential. So they do actually grasp all of your requirements and maybe any specific thoughts you actually have. Finally, factor that it will be, like, quite early, basically, and travel will almost take more time than you want. Getting around is difficult!. It might even be very essential to potentially get your own transport if they don’t offer transfers as standard. Be careful because, seriously, there are scams that could lose you loads. Or, worse, your gear. The earlier you do this, too it’s almost, the smoother all the sailing is really gonna be for you in short!

Day Of: How It’s All Actually Gonna Go?

The real secret? Embrace it all. You are gonna be very very self-conscious. Listen carefully to any posing suggestions. The pros can really do some really brilliant angles which could feel really awkward; just believe the magic basically, because they clearly understand just what photographs, kinda. Remember: stay comfortable, but be certain to watch the winds, because very strong blasts mean your fantastic dress ends up fully over your head most likely! It’s basically not only annoying to fix but a big risk to safety, maybe!. So hydrate: it does actually get really warm really swiftly.

The results, and are they really great then?

I got the shots in. If you fully invested in the entire process, then it should almost be worth all the expense. Also, you receive the bragging rights – memories captured from what might well be, arguably, a real dream spot, Santorini in Greece. Also, if you selected the right package then edits should be super very fast. I got mine after 3 days; actually some need a week or maybe even longer! It’s super important that you just, well, use social networking to showcase everything because very naturally that’s just the done thing. Honestly I got some great feedback. Also, don’t be reticent when giving feedback in respect of those photos either. Remember a genuinely brilliant photographer does just actually want feedback to get great results next time round.

My Opinion: Was All that Really Worth It?

Absolutely, it really kinda was. Like your photos appear totally gorgeous but actually what is far greater is I felt utterly amazing through it too. It will be an actual event, much more, arguably, than just getting pictures. When considering the planning, the expectation, the makeup, also the clothes… It’s really immersive but, arguably, not super awful in that moment either. OK it’s just actually fairly expensive; so just manage costs very well to dodge all the feeling you might’ve overstretched – however in nearly every possible other manner it does deliver well to its hype.
