Top Tips for Your Flying Dress Photoshoot in Playa del Carmen or Akumal


A flying dress photoshoot is more than just a photo session, it’s an unforgettable experience that combines stunning locations, vibrant colors, and a sense of elegance that will leave you feeling like royalty. To help you make the most of this magical moment, I’ve put together some tips to ensure your session goes smoothly and the results are everything you’ve dreamed of.
1. Pick the Perfect Dress Color
The right color can make all the difference. Vibrant hues like royal blue, fiery red, or emerald green create a striking contrast against the soft sands and turquoise waters of Playa del Carmen or the lush greens of Akumal.
2. Choose the Right Location
Playa del Carmen offers wide beaches with golden sunlight, while Akumal Bay boasts calm waters and a quieter vibe. Both locations are ideal for flying dress sessions, but each has its own charm. If you’re not sure which one suits your vision, I’m here to help you decide!
3. Timing Is Everything
The early hours, especially around sunrise, are ideal for a flying dress photoshoot. The soft, golden light highlights the vibrant colors of the dress and enhances its flow beautifully. At this time, the beaches are usually quiet, offering a serene setting to create breathtaking images. For other times of day, I bring professional lighting equipment to ensure your photos look stunning no matter the hour.
4. Embrace the Drama
The magic of a flying dress lies in its movement, offering a dreamy, fairytale-like experience. Be ready to twirl, walk with confidence, and let the breeze take over. You don’t have to be a model; just have fun and let your personality shine through. I’ll guide you through poses to bring out the best shots.
5. Wear Comfortable Layers Underneath
Many flying dresses are designed to be dramatic and flowy, but they might be slightly sheer. A comfortable bikini or light undergarments in neutral tones are perfect for staying at ease while allowing for natural movement.
6. Add Accessories for a Personal Touch
While the dress will undoubtedly be the star, adding accessories like statement earrings, bangles, or a flower crown can elevate the look. I usually take fantasy jewelry that you can check and decide if you want to incorporate it into the photoshoot. These details also give you something to play with during the session, adding variety to the photos.
7. Trust the Process
Relax and enjoy the moment! A flying dress photoshoot is a unique experience, and the goal is to celebrate you. I’ll make sure the process, from choosing the perfect spot to coordinating the flow of the dress, is as seamless and fun as possible.
8. Bring a Friend (or Partner!)
If you’re feeling nervous or want to add a special dynamic to the session, bring along someone you trust. Whether it’s a best friend, a sibling, or a partner, having someone close can make the experience even more enjoyable.


Bonus Tip: Celebrate Yourself
A flying dress photoshoot is the perfect way to celebrate milestones, personal achievements, or simply yourself. Don’t wait for a special occasion, every moment is worth remembering!
