About this tour
When Sarah from our BugBitten team booked a flying dress photoshoot in Athens, she found herself in the hands of a photographer who genuinely knows his craft — nine years specialising in portraiture and architecture across Greece. You pick from 14 handmade dresses in colours ranging from bronze and olive to plum and gold, slip into your choice (sizing runs XS to 6XL depending on the style), and spend 35 minutes being shot against Athens' backdrop while the fabric billows around you. It's unapologetically designed for Instagram, with all edited photos delivered for social sharing plus one high-res retouched image to take home.

- Sizes XS to 6XL available (varies by dress); most styles adjustable
- LGBT-friendly operator, welcoming to all

- Public transport accessible; no special fitness demands
- Choice of scenic Athens locations for your shoot
What to expect
You'll arrive, select your dress from the available colours and sizes, and get fitted. The photographer will then guide you through posing — this isn't a rigid, stiff affair; he works with movement, angle, and light to capture the fabric in flight. The 35 minutes moves quickly: expect several outfit changes if you want variety, or one extended session in your chosen dress. Athens' architecture and street backdrop become part of the composition naturally, not overdone. Afterwards, you'll receive all the session photos edited and ready to tag on Instagram, plus one professional high-res retouch for printing or framing.
One thing worth knowing: this is a one-on-one or small-group experience, so you won't feel rushed, but it's also not a lengthy pamper session. The photographer's background in portraiture means he's confident directing you, which takes the pressure off if you're camera-shy.

Good to know
If you love having professional photos taken but hate stiff, awkward sessions, this hits differently. The dresses are genuinely beautiful — handmade, not costume-rental quality — and the colour range means you can choose something that suits your skin tone and vibe. You walk away with edited, usable content for socials and a standout keepsake photo. The photographer's experience shows; he's not just snapping, he's composing. It's also LGBT-friendly and welcoming to all body types and fitness levels.
Makeup and hair styling aren't included — you'll need to sort your own or pay extra (subject to his availability). If your partner wants in the frame, there's an additional fee. Some dress colours (white, light pink) cost extra. Any accidental damage to the dress gets charged back. It's a short session, so manage expectations if you're after a lengthy shoot. Book early; this fills up, especially in peak tourist season.
