The Ultimate Guide to Booking Your Flying Dress Cancun Session

What you are actually booking

A Flying Dress session is a one-hour shoot on the beach with a long dress cut from light fabric that lifts in the wind. Every session includes three things that people often assume cost extra: the dress itself, your photographer, and a clothing assistant whose only job is the fabric — fitting it, draping it and throwing it into the wind at the right moment. There is no separate rental fee for the dress, and family or friends can be photographed in your session at no additional cost.

Step 1: Pick your package

Promo — $149 USD. Sixteen professionally edited photos, the dress, the one-hour session, your photographer and the clothing assistant.

Popular — $199 USD. Forty edited photos, every unedited frame from the shoot, and an Instagram reel.

The difference between them is volume and the reel, not the experience — the session, the dress and the team are identical. Most people who want the raw files or plan to post video go with Popular; most people who want the images alone are happy with Promo.

Step 2: Pick your destination

Cancun starts at $149 USD. Sessions in Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, Playa del Carmen and Tulum are $20 more, so they start at $169 USD — the difference covers travel to the location, and everything included in the package stays the same. If you are staying in Cancun and have no particular reason to travel, Cancun is both the cheapest and the simplest choice.

Step 3: Pick the date and the hour

If your dates are flexible, the dry season from November to April brings the most reliable conditions — calmer seas, clear skies and far less chance of rain. We wrote a full breakdown of the best months of the year for a Flying Dress session if you are still choosing when to travel.

Whatever the season, we recommend starting around 8 in the morning: soft light, calm sea, and a beach quiet enough that nobody walks through your frame. The golden hour before sunset is the strong second choice. Midday is the one window we avoid all year.

Step 4: Pick the dress and the beach

You choose the colour and style when you book, and we bring it. Dresses run from XS to XXXL, so this is a decision about the photograph you want, not about finding something that fits. As for where: Playa Delfines at Km 18 is our most-recommended spot in Cancun, and Punta Nizuc at the southern tip is the sunrise choice. Our guide to the best Flying Dress spots in Cancun covers each beach and what it gives you.

Step 5: Reserve with a $30 deposit

A $30 USD deposit holds your date and counts toward the total; the rest is paid in cash on the day of the session. Booking happens over WhatsApp, where we confirm availability, the dress colour, the beach and the time — usually within minutes. That is the entire reservation process.

What happens on the day

You make your own way to the meeting point we agree on — we do not provide transport or pick-up — and your photographer is there waiting. Before anything is shot, you talk through what you want from the hour and anything you feel self-conscious about. Then your photographer directs every pose and calls the movements, so you are never left standing there wondering what to do with your hands, while the clothing assistant works the fabric between frames. The hour goes faster than you expect.

When your photos arrive

Your professionally edited photos are delivered within 72 hours through a private online gallery, where you can download the high-resolution files. That turnaround is part of the price, not an upgrade. There is no selection meeting after the session and nothing further for you to do — the editing and retouching are ours to handle.

What is quoted separately

Drone and horse sessions are priced per location, because drone access, permits and transport change from beach to beach. Tell us where and when and we send an exact quote. Keeping those out of the base price is what lets the $149 stay honest.

Ready when you are

Message us with your dates and we will confirm availability, colour and location. If you are still deciding between packages or destinations, say so — we would rather help you pick than sell you the bigger one.
