Daily Photography Tours


  • Join Cody on a daily tour of Grand Teton or Yellowstone National Park. Day tours begin and end in Jackson, WY. Your trip will consist of professional photography instruction, a guided interpretive tour of the park, and a fun day you won't soon forget! Each daily tour is private, so we will concentrate on whatever your photographic or sightseeing goals are for the day. Cody has a Degree in Natural Resource Management and was a Park Ranger in Yellowstone National Park, so in addition to your photography instruction you will learn lots about the natural world of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem during your time with him. While wildlife is never guaranteed, there is a very good chance you will encounter wildlife during your day. We will visit the best spots for viewing bears, moose, bison, elk, foxes, trumpeter swans, and more! Your private tour will take you to the most scenic and picturesque parts of the park. Cody knows all "the spots" and will take you there! Your private tour is catered to your personal goals, interests, and schedule.

Policies and Waiver

Trip options

Grand Teton National Park

All daily tours are private, so the itinerary will be based on what you are interested in! Trip pricing and timing is based on trips that begin and end in Jackson, WY.

Grand Teton 1/2 Day Tour

$450

4-5 hour photo tour. You pick the time we head into the park--sunrise, sunset, early morning after the sun is up, etc. This sunrise option is a great option for early risers interested in capturing the first light on the Tetons, great early morning scenics, wildlife, and more. Sunset in the Tetons can be a little tricky due to the mountains being backlit for the last few hours of the day. If there are clouds or approaching storms the late afternoon option can provide some incredible photography.

Grand Teton Full Day

$850

8 hour+ full day photo tour. Departs early morning. This is a much longer tour that gives us time to explore more of the park and photograph more extensively. On this trip we will capture sunrise, barns, wildflowers, foliage, wildlife, and much more. This tour will allow us plenty of time to see most of the park and have more time if you'd like to concentrate on wildlife photography.


Yellowstone National Park

All daily tours are private, so the itinerary will be based on what you are interested in! Trips begin and end in Jackson, WY. (LIMITED OFFERINGS in 2023--please contact Cody for more information).

Yellowstone Full Day

$975

10-12 hour full day photo tour. Departs early morning. If your trip departs from Jackson, we will try to leave just before sunrise and head north to explore the Lower Loop of Yellowstone National Park. This trip also provides a nice quick tour of Grand Teton as we make our way north to the South Entrance of Yellowstone. The photographic possibilities range from: wildlife(Bears, Bison, Elk, Pronghorn,etc), scenic, geothermal/geyser basins, waterfalls, and much more!
