Nathan is a professional portrait photographer by trade, which is something you’d be hard pressed to find on any other Aurora tour in Fairbanks. He was a full time wedding photographer for 10 years before becoming an aurora portrait photographer, which he's done for over 7 years. Other tours offer “free portraits” but not to the level of expertise that Nathan provides. He uses controlled supplemental studio lighting to achieve unmatched quality and sharpness, using techniques he developed over 7 years of practicing aurora portraiture. We also provide complementary gear to help keep you warm and safe: hand/toe warmers, headlamps, water bottles etc. What everything boils down to is great photos and a personal experience. The photos speak for themselves and we want to get you some of your own. Not only will you have a top tier photographer as a guide but Nathan also has more than 20 years of Alaska artic wilderness survival skills and offers expertise in all things Alaska adventure.
AURORA GUARANTEE! If you don't get aurora in your photos you're eligible for a second tour free within 2 years of your tour date, based on seating availability. We’ll trek out on an adventure like no other, staying toasty warm as we enter a winter wonderland under the northern lights. The tour is a magical journey through the sparkling frozen tundra, chasing the colorful swirls of aurora borealis overhead. Learn the science behind the phenomenon and how to photograph it using your own camera. You also get free professional portraits and landscapes. We drive 15-40 miles north of Fairbanks to one of many excellent viewing locations. We set up a cozy heated warming shelter and offer complimentary gourmet pizzas, hot out of our 930 degree stone fired pizza oven. Also, hot cocoa, coffee, Chai Tea, apple cider and black tea. This adventure always delivers a memorable experience with lots of fun extras to do while we wait for the aurora to appear. Get an authentic experience, come see how the locals adventure with your guide, Nathan, 38 with 25 years of Alaskan outdoor experience. This is a small group tour! We only book 10 guests per tour.
