PARK CITY PHOTO ADVENTURE
LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY ADVENTURE
WITH PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
An all-inclusive, 1-day photo expedition in Park City, Utah
AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND
A RARE BEAUTY IS FOUND IN PARK CITY
With a history rich in silver mining and landscapes as staggering as the mountain heights that surround, Park City is a photographer’s paradise!
The over 7,000 acres of open space that is Park City is nestled right in the middle of a very geographically unique area — the crossroads of the Colorado Plateau, Rocky Mountains, and Wyoming Basin — resulting in a landscape diverse and awe-inspiring. If you’re looking to inspire or refresh your life and creativity, this is the adventure for you.
Think softly quaking aspen groves, famously-filmed mountain roads, a vast open prairie beaming with birds and wildlife — and hopefully some moose, too!
It’s clear, this place is one you need to witness at least once in your lifetime.
YOUR PHOTO ADVENTURE
Photograph Park City from all the right angles at all the right times (spoiler alert: this is the key to standout photography!), alongside a photo pro! On this full day, all-inclusive photo adventure, we’ll explore a mixture of photography opportunities in Park City, including landscapes like the aspen-grove Bonanza Flats (season pending) and Swaner Preserve, and cultural must-go’s like the Egyptian Theatre and McPolin Barn!
We’ll hone in on special photo skills, which will enhance your photography and take it to the next level! NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!
With a group size of no more than 3 (or select private custom adventure at checkout), you’ll have the one-on-one attention you need to get you to the next level!
We’ll have the perfect lunch break at one of the most delicious local restaurants, and end the day with a tasty recap at locally-owned Hugo Coffee (with sweeping mountain views!) alongside one-on-one photo critiques!
Add an optional post-processing session to your booking so you can walk away with completely finished photographs ready to share with your friends and family!
We hope to see you on one of our next adventures — we lead photo expeditions across the world! (hint: Total Solar Eclipse in Patagonia)!

WHAT TO BRING
HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO BRING ON YOUR PHOTO ADVENTURE
Don’t have a camera? It’s okay - just bring your phone! (Availability pending, you can rent our spare camera. Or, select the private tour option at checkout which includes camera rental and post-processing lesson!)
DSLR or mirrorless camera
Fully-charged camera battery
An empty (and ready to fill!) memory card
Your favorite lens (we recommend wide to mid-range lenses, anywhere from 16mm-200mm)
Camera bag
We will be out shooting for a few hours at a time, so be sure to bring items that keep you comfortable in the outdoors (juices, your favorite snacks, sunscreen, etc)
A good pair of sneakers or hiking shoes that feel comfortable when on your feet for extended periods of time
OPTIONAL gear
Take your photography to the next level with this add-on gear:
Laptop
If you add on the optional, end-of-day post-processing lesson, we recommend you bring a laptop to be able to participate and edit your photographs while with us.

If the light conditions are particularly cloudy or dim the morning of your adventure, bringing a tripod can help achieve nice, blur-free images for our morning shoot.

YOUR PHOTO PRO
Photography instructor:
Marisa Marulli
“Marisa Marulli is the person who took my love for photography and pushed it over the edge. Prior to her explanation I didn’t know anything about shutter speed and aperture. Not only did she take the time to explain it to me but she spent the time to show me how to do it in the field. She put everything in terms that I could understand and I am forever grateful.”
