Hi Flying Dress Photoshoot in Maui — Private Dress Rental & Island Photo Experience
A private, hour-long photoshoot where a dramatic flowing dress meets Maui’s shoreline and cliffs. This customizable experience pairs a stylist-guided session with local know-how to capture editorial images against volcanic rock and ocean light.
The Experience
Before You Go
Pick calm timing
Book sunrise or late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds; mid-day sun flattens texture and colors.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
You’ll likely be near water; choose a reef-safe SPF to protect marine life and avoid sticky residue on the dress.
Wear easy shoes for access
Trails to photo spots can be uneven; bring supportive sandals or lightweight hikers for the approach and change into sandals for shots.
Secure the dress between shots
Wind will lift the fabric—use clips or ask your stylist to anchor hems to avoid accidental exposure or fabric damage.
