About Petalouda Studios
Our Story
Straight from the Greek islands to the St. Louis area, introducing Petaloúda Studios, the Flying Dress company for every “body”! Petaloúda is Butterfly in the Greek language and our homage to those stunning islands. You will feel like a butterfly in one of our gorgeous “Flying Dresses”.
“While vacationing in Santorini, Greece I had the amazing experience of a famous “Flying Dress” photo shoot for my milestone birthday. After the shoot I started thinking about how fun it would be to bring the experience to the St. Louis area and Petaloúda Studios was born!
-Lori Wagner - Co-owner
“Lori, came to me with the wonderful idea of partnering in Petaloúda Studios! She was aware of my passion for photography as well as being a professional cosmetologist, so it came as a natural fit. I find the photo sessions so rewarding by bringing everyone’s inner beauty to life! It is so much fun, and you feel SO beautiful. Our choice of preferred venues offers everyone a great variety for any season. These Flying Dresses make my job easy, because they make every body type look gorgeous!”
