Terry was a fantastic guide! She taught us some great techniques to get the most out of our cameras. Our photos are STUNNING! We went to 5 different sites during “the golden hour” and were able to beautifully capture Anchorage and its surrounding areas. We highly recommend this experience!

Our photographer guide Terry is so informative and patient with us. My hubby had a problem with his camera. She doesn’t know the solution but she messaged all her friends. Solution to the problem was answered. She saved the day. Saw Beluga whale. Had good sunset pictures from the flat top. Awesome

I was glad to hear that Terry was able to resolve the problem with your husband's camera. It was definitely a team effort with one of our other guides helping out with the fix. I am glad that you enjoyed the tour so much and that Terry took such good care of you. Thank you for the feedback!
