Herbert Lake

In the evening, we will hit the road to Herbert Lake. Surrounded by deep woods, the waters of this tiny slice of paradise reflect the snowy peaks of the Rockies, waiting for the admiration of our lenses...

Vermilion Lakes

Our sunrise location will take us to Vermilion Lakes on the outskirts of Banff, offering the famous view of Mt. Rundle in the back. Reflecting in the lakes, the mountain range is a great reward for all early risers. If lucky, we might be in for some alpenglow that turns the landscape into even more amazing colors.

Castle Mountain

Sitting silently with the Bow River in the foreground, Castle Mountain will be our sunset treat. This castle-like mountain dominates the views and is one of the most imposing peaks of the Bow Valley.

Bow Lake

Our morning agenda will take us to the pristine Bow Lake, one of the smaller lakes in Banff National Park. Boasting spectacularly colored water and a ring of peaks towering above, this site a top-notch mountain scenery.

Peyto Lake

The next spot will be about the unbelievably blue Peyto Lake. Getting its blue from large amounts of glacial rock flour, it changes color depending on the time of year and day. Another sunset spent photo shooting is another sunset well spent!

Moraine Lake

Getting up early, we’ll be headed to the famous Moraine Lake. Being one of the most iconic lakes in the Canadian Rockies, its beauty is simply out of this world and is a must-see on our list. Here, we’ll be shooting different compositions from the rock pile above the lake or the lake shore. Pure and turquoise waters, this one’s a real candy.

Natural Bridge

We’ll also go to capture the Natural Bridge with the Kicking Horse River sculpting its way through it.

Emerald Lake

Evening will see us chasing sunset at the Emerald Lake with the iconic lodge perched on its edge. This site is a great proof that Rocky Mountain Lakes are all different in color - from green to bright blue or even brownish. Vivid turquoise is the color of Emerald Lake, just you wait.

Mistaya Canyon

The greater part of the day will be revolving around the mysteriously deep Mistaya Canyon and the duo of Sunwapta Falls, both locations along the way of the iconic Icefields Parkway.

Two Jack Lake

The sunrise photo shoot on this day will be all about Two Jack Lake in the Banff National Park. Always worth a stop, this place is nothing short of amazing views and a lot of great shots to be taken here.

Any Questions First?

Digital camera (i.e. DSLR or mirrorless camera) with wide angle lenses highly recommended for landscape photos, and telephoto lenses comes in real handy, as we may spot wildlife - deer, moose, bears or coyotes. Good tripod and a remote shutter release for tack sharp pictures. Neutral density and polarizer filters (if you have any).
We strongly recommend you to pack up some good sturdy boots and a waterproof raincoat with you. You know, it can get pretty cold or damp. This is Canada we’re talking :)
Most of the photo spots are easily approachable from the car, typically only a few hundred meters of walking distance. We can also organize a moderate hike during the photo tour to reach other great spots for shooting, but it’ll always be conditioned by the physical shape the other attendees are in.
If the weather conditions are promising, we’ll squeeze in at least one shooting of the night sky. And if we’re lucky, we can even chase the northern lights :)
We prioritize the comfort of our guests and therefore all of our tours are designed for single occupancy.
The minimum number of attendees on this photo tour is 4.
The maximum number of attendees is 7 attendees per tour.
In that case, it’s up to us to decide whether we want to organize the photo tour anyways, and we’ll update you shortly. In case we decide to not go through with the tour, we’ll return you the money paid in the tour account asap.
The tour itinerary is set within the tour program as the basic outline but it may vary depending on the weather conditions. We’re trying hard to deliver you the best experience according to the actual situation. The tour itinerary is only set as the basic outline of the tour - it is not hardwired into the program because it largely depends on the weather conditions.
