FAQs
Everything you need to know about your Palm Beach flying dress experience.
How does Flying Dress Photography differ than a normal photoshoot?
Flying Dress Photoshoots became popular in Santorini, Greece and showcase vibrant long dresses seemingly floating in the air at outdoor locations. The images that are captured are so ethereal and almost look like AI. They are captivating and people can’t believe they are real. The real beauty, however, is in the Experience! Women from all over the world are choosing these shoots to celebrate themselves, their unique journey, a milestone, birthday, anniversary, engagement, quinceañera, or any special occasion. These shoots tap into your feminine power as the dress is a symbol of beauty, grace, style and confidence. Some women say it is life-changing!
Where are you based?
We are based in the beautiful Palm Beaches and do most of our photoshoots in Jupiter, Jupiter Island, Juno Beach Pier, Singer Island and Palm Beach. The most popular location is directly on the beach and we offer gorgeous photos on the rocks at Coral Cove Park and stunning images at the pier at the Juno Beach Pier—so please specify your preferred location. We can shoot inland too (depending on permits) and can travel if it’s reasonable (travel costs extra).
What size are the dresses?
Regular dress fits size 0–16. Plus size dress fits sizes 16–28 and is available for an additional cost.
Will they fit my body type?
The flying dresses can be styled in the front and back in a variety of ways to compliment every body type. There are 12 different front styles that you will be shown and either you can choose your favorite or we will upon seeing you and styling you for the shoot.
Do I have to know how to pose?
Absolutely not! None of our clients and participants are models—they’re just everyday women who are treating themselves to something memorable and beautiful. We will guide you every step of the way!
What are the color options for the dress?
There are many beautiful color choices available! See the Dress Colors tab at the top. Please note that not all dresses are available in plus size and the specialty colors like metallic and sequins are an upcharge.
What time of day is the photoshoot?
Sunrise and sunset are the preferred times to capture the golden hour. We typically shoot about one hour before sunset, and at sunrise when scheduling allows.
What is your inclement weather policy?
For the most part, Florida’s climate is gorgeous year-round; however, our rainy season is in the summer and weather patterns can be unpredictable. We monitor the weather closely and will make every effort to push a shoot back on the same day or reschedule the shoot. All deposits are non-refundable; if you must cancel or reschedule for any reason, including weather, we will credit your deposit toward a future photoshoot within one year. Dress rental fees for custom colors or plus sizes are non-refundable as the dresses are shipped from Hawaii.
Can more than one person participate in the flying dress experience?
Absolutely! You can do the shoot by yourself (we bring the stylist/assistant), with your significant other, family or girlfriends. There is a charge per person and per dress rental that we will discuss. We will need to be made aware of the number of participants at the time of booking.
How do the dresses “fly”?
We have stylists trained to wave and throw the dresses in the air and the photographer captures the movement and flow of the train while all you do is strike your pose, smile and enjoy!
How do I prepare for the shoot?
Please refer to the Experience Guide tab—that will answer your questions about what to expect, what to wear, and how to style your hair, makeup, jewelry, and more. The Experience Guide will also be emailed to you (along with a release form) after receiving your deposit ($100).
What does it mean to be an affiliate of the Flying Dress Collective?
That means we have trained under the renowned Flying Dress Photographer in Hawaii and are a part of a Collective of photographers in the U.S. that specialize in Flying Dress Photoshoots.
