I DON’T KNOW HOW TO POSE AND HAVE NO EXPERIENCE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO IN ONE OF THOSE DRESSES. WILL THAT BE A PROBLEM?

We’ll show you exactly how to pose, suggest a variety of flattering movements and ideas, and support you throughout the entire shoot.
From the moment we start, we’ll be right there with you – directing, cheering, and making sure you feel confident and beautiful in every frame.

We also offer an exclusive package Zanzibar Goddess where your friends, family, or loved ones can join you on a private 3-hour catamaran cruise – and yes, your Flying Dress photoshoot will take place right there, surrounded by the endless beauty of the ocean.
CAN I RENT THE DRESS ONLY?
No, it is not possible to rent only the dress(es). Our dresses are an exclusive part of our Flying Dress photoshoots in Zanzibar and are not available for rent separately. Each gown is our pride and joy – we take great care to ensure they remain in perfect condition, always looking fresh, flawless, and of the highest quality. Maintaining this level of excellence requires a lot of attention and care, especially given the challenging conditions we often shoot in. That’s why our dresses are reserved solely for our full photoshoot experience, where we can guarantee they shine at their absolute best.
WHAT SIZE IS THE FLYING DRESS?
Most of our flying dresses are adjustable meaning they can fit perfectly any shape and size from XS to XXL. For more detailed information, please refer to our Zanzibar Flying Dresses Catalogue.
HOW MANY PHOTOS AND VIDEOS WILL I RECEIVE?
The number of edited high resolution digital images and short vertical videos for Social Media will depend on which package you choose. Extra edited images can be purchased after your photoshoot for an additional $10 per image. Please note that the images you will first see as your preview will be unedited in low web quality with our watermark. Once you have selected your favorites you will then receive an email with a link to download and save your final fully edited high resolution digital images (without watermark).
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY EDITED IMAGES?
After your photoshoot we will send you a link via email within 3 days with the raw, unedited images for you to preview. There you can select your favorites. Once we receive notification that you have chosen your favorite images we can then start the editing process. Editing process for Flying Dress photoshoot is 10-40 days and depends on the package.
Express editing: If you are in a rush and need your images editing faster than the standard editing period you can upgrade your photoshoot package and add on the express editing upgrade for an additional fee – you will receive your edited images in three (3) days instead of the usual 2-4 weeks editing period.
WILL I RECEIVE THE RAW IMAGES?
No. We do not give you the RAW unedited images to keep. The amount of edited pictures will depend on which package you choose when you booked your flying dress photoshoot but extras can be added for an additional fee.
Still, for those who wish to have a truly special keepsake from their photoshoot and receive all of their images, we offer the option to purchase the full gallery in high-resolution JPG format. All photos come with basic color correction for a cohesive and polished look — a perfect way to preserve every moment from your experience.
WHERE WILL MY PHOTOSHOOT TAKE PLACE?
We have a few location options for you to choose from: Nungwi Beach, Kendwa Beach, Matemwe Beach, Pwani Mchangani Beach, Kiwengwa Beach, Dongwe Beach, Pingwe Beach, Paje Beach, Jambiani Beach, Mtende Beach. We always take into consideration the tides and the light.
HOW DO I GET TO THE PHOTOSHOOT LOCATION?
It’s possible that one or more of our spots is located close to your hotel, but if you would love to explore different locations – you can get a taxi or rent a car. Some people for example will book a morning photoshoot at Kendwa and then hop over to Nungwi afterwards and spend a few hours there before they go back to the hotel. So pack your swimwear, sunscreen and a beach towel in case you want to go on an adventure after your photoshoot is over!
CAN YOU COME TO MY HOTEL/RESORT AND DO THE PHOTOSHOOT THERE?
Sure, we can come to your hotel and do the Flying Dress photoshoot on your hotel’s beach.
IS HAIR AND MAKE UP INCLUDED?
No, hair and make up is not included. Most ladies do their own hair because of the wind, humidity and high temperatures in Zanzibar. The hair styles tend not to cooperate and can last a matter of minutes once you step out of the car depending on your hair type and style. The majority of photos are taken from a distance to capture the full effect of the dress „flying” so professional make up is not always necessary but of course you are welcome to hire a professional hair and make up artist if this makes you feel more confident and you would like some close up shots as well. We are more than happy to recommend a local talented professional MUA on request, just let us know once you have booked your flying dress photoshoot.
WHERE WILL I DRESS/UNDRESS?
As all our photoshoot locations are outdoors, there are no changing room facilities so you will change into the flying dress outside at the location you selected at the time of booking, therefore we recommend wearing something loose that is easy to slip in and out of.We have specifically chosen locations that are quieter so they offer a little more privacy than the usual crowded tourist hot spots.Also our female photographer Alexandra is always on hand to help you in and out of your flying dress before and after the photoshoot.
CAN I WEAR A BRA?
Our flying dresses can be adjusted accordingly to fit your shape and size. They can be styled in various ways but please note that due to their design a regular bra cannot be worn so we suggest going braless. However, if you need some support, you can still wear bra cups or boob tape (just let us know if you need some).
WHAT TIME WILL MY PHOTOSHOOT TAKE PLACE?
Daylight vibrant Zanzibar’s colors shoot with blue sky and turquoise water between 10AM and 3PM is best for: Nungwi, Kendwa, Matemwe, Pwani Mchangani, Kiwengwa, Pingwe, Dongwe, Paje, Jambiani, Mtende
Golden hour shoot about 5PM- the late afternoon time slot with warm colors and golden haze is best for Michamvi, Nungwi, Kendwa
HOW WILL THE WEATHER AFFECT MY PHOTOSHOOT?
Each day in Zanzibar is beach day. Whether the wind is strong or not – don’t worry, we always work in team 2 persons so one of us can help you with the dress to ensure it can “fly” and we can create the dreamy iconic shots you know and love!
If it’s raining on the day of your photoshoot we are happy to reschedule for another day (according to our availability) without any additional cost. That’s why we always recommend booking your photoshoot in advance or, at least, at the beginning of your vacation. This way we will have more options to reschedule in case of bad weather.
WHAT IS YOUR RESCHEDULING/CANCELLATION POLICY?
At the time of booking, we require a non-refundable retainer fee to secure your photoshoot date. This fee serves as a reservation guarantee and is applied toward your total package. In the event that you decide to cancel your photoshoot due to a change of plans or for personal reasons, the retainer is non-refundable.However, if the photoshoot cannot take place on the scheduled day due to weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances that make the session impossible to carry out, a full refund will be issued.
