What exactly is a flying dress photoshoot?
A flying dress is a long, light gown with a dramatic train. The wind lifts it, or an assistant throws it into the air, so in the pictures it seems to fly behind you. Set against Istanbul's domes, minarets and the Bosphorus, it gives the eye-catching shots that have made these shoots popular with travellers and content creators. No modelling experience is needed: the photographer shows you exactly where to stand, how to move and when.

Daytime or sunset session?
| Session | Sample timing | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Daytime | Meet at 10:00, start shooting around 10:30, done by about 12:00 | Clear, bright skyline shots and strong dress colours |
| Sunset | Meet at 16:00, start shooting around 16:30 | A warm sky, golden light and softer skin tones |
Because sunset moves through the year, the sunset session time follows the season. Pick sunset for warm, flattering light, or morning for the sharpest view of the city.

What to wear under the dress and how to get ready
Wear plain, skin-toned underwear, and comfortable shoes for the trip to the rooftop. Hair and make-up are not part of the package, so come prepared, or ask us to recommend a local service. Bring any accessories you want to appear in the photos, a hairbrush and, for sunset sessions in spring and autumn when the rooftops are windy, a light jacket.
Does it work for couples and special occasions?
Yes. There are couple packages, and many people book the shoot for honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays and engagements. Planning a surprise proposal? Let us know beforehand so the photographer is ready to catch the moment.
What happens in bad weather?
The rooftop shoot depends on the weather. A gentle breeze helps the dress fly, but heavy rain or strong wind does not. If the weather is poor on your day, get in touch and we will find another slot during your stay.
How to book
Pick your date and either the daytime or sunset session on this page and submit the form, or contact us on WhatsApp. Let us know if the shoot is solo or for a couple. We confirm the rooftop and the time in writing, and payment is due only once we have confirmed. Hotel transfers are available as an extra.
