Reviewing the Glam Experience with Photography in New York City

If you’re looking to add a splash of Hollywood glamour to your trip to New York City, the Glam Experience with Photography from Dream Flying Dress might just be your ticket. While we haven’t personally taken this tour, the concept alone suggests a quick, high-impact way to capture that perfect city snapshot — and maybe even a viral video.
What immediately catches our eye are three things: the luxurious flying dress, the expert assistance, and the iconic NYC backdrop. These elements promise a photoshoot that blends style with scenery, all wrapped up in a brief but potent 30-minute session. On the downside, the experience is priced at $600 per person, which some may see as steep unless you’re after those picture-perfect memories in a hurry.
This experience feels tailored for busy travelers wanting a memorable keepsake, those celebrating special occasions, or social media aficionados craving content. If you’re someone who values high-quality visuals and a dash of glamour in quick bursts, this tour could be just the thing.

The Experience: What to Expect
The core of this experience is a compact, 30-minute photoshoot designed to give you dramatic, flowing shots against New York City’s skyline. You’ll start with a pickup service (if arranged), heading to a designated iconic location — likely somewhere with unobstructed views of the cityscape. Once on-site, your dedicated assistant will help you don the flying dress, ensuring you look your best for the camera, and will guide you through poses that emphasize movement and elegance.
The main highlight is of course the flying dress itself — a flowing, eye-catching garment that looks stunning in motion. Guests have expressed satisfaction with the way the assistant helps capture the dress in flattering, dynamic shots. Some reviews mention that the professional guidance makes a noticeable difference, especially if you’re not used to having your photos taken or don’t consider yourself a model.
Within the brief window, you’ll receive 10 meticulously edited images—each designed to showcase your best angles—and a social media-ready video clip perfect for sharing immediately. Many travelers appreciate how swift this process is, perfect for those with packed itineraries but still craving memorable photographs.
The Details: What’s Included & What’s Not

The package covers most essentials to create a Hollywood-style shot. Included are the flying dress, a dress assistant, access to an iconic NYC location, 10 edited images, and a video clip ready for social media. All of this is presented in a private setting, meaning you won’t be sharing the space with strangers, which is ideal for those seeking exclusivity.
However, there are some optional extras to consider. If you want a different dress or a longer shoot, extra charges apply — such as $75 for an additional dress or $300 for extended or in-studio sessions. Hair and makeup services are also available for $300 per person, which could elevate your photos even further if you want to look especially polished.
Transport-wise, the experience offers pickup, which simplifies logistics, especially after a long day of sightseeing. Most locations are near public transportation, making it accessible from various parts of the city.
How Does It Play Out in Real Life?

From the few reviews available, travelers seem to value the stunning views and the professional assistance. One reviewer mentioned that the guide “helped us feel relaxed and natural,” which is crucial for capturing authentic smiles and movements. The high-quality images were said to be “worth the price,” especially for those who want polished photos without the hassle of DIY editing.
While some note that the session is brief — understandably so — the quality of the photos seems to make up for this. The social media video was highlighted as a nice bonus, allowing instant sharing of your glamorous moment. And since the experience is weather-dependent, travelers should plan for a clear day or be prepared to reschedule if needed.
A few reviews suggest that the assistant’s guidance significantly enhances the results, especially if you’re unfamiliar with posing or camera angles. The focus on movement and flow makes the images lively, capturing the energy of the city in tandem with the dress’s dramatic fabric.
The Practicalities

This experience is designed to be efficient—perfect for travelers short on time but wanting a big impact. The 30-minute duration means you can fit it into a busy sightseeing day or as a delightful break between other activities. The price point may seem high, but considering the professional editing, personalized assistance, and instant digital delivery, many see it as a worthwhile investment for memorable keepsakes.
Keep in mind, if you’re interested in additional dress options, extended sessions, or hair/makeup, these come at extra costs. The free cancellation policy offers peace of mind in case of bad weather or schedule shifts, as long as you cancel more than 24 hours in advance.
Who Will Love This Experience?

This experience is ideal for those celebrating a milestone—like a honeymoon, anniversary, or birthday—or anyone wanting high-end, Instagrammable moments. It’s also perfect for visitors who value professional-quality photos but don’t want to spend hours on a shoot or editing. The private nature of the tour makes it suitable for couples, families, or small groups seeking high-quality, glamorous images in a quick session.
If you’re after more extensive or varied shoots, or prefer to include hair and makeup, you might want to consider additional services. But for a fun, luxe, and efficient way to capture NYC’s glamour, this tour is a solid choice.
Final Thoughts

The Glam Experience with Photography offers a quick, stylish way to get stunning shots against New York City’s iconic backdrop.
