Private Aurora Chasing and Photo Session
Enjoy a fully personalized experience for you and your group of up to five people with a single rate for the entire group in a Private Aurora Photo Session.
For those seeking the ultimate northern lights experience, this session focuses on capturing you under the auroras with dozens of beautiful portraits and timelapse videos, all professionally edited and delivered to you the very next day.
You’re the model, and I’m your personal photographer, capturing you under the breathtaking northern lights. This Private Aurora Photo Session is designed entirely around you, with the goal of creating stunning portraits of you with the auroras dancing above. Unlike most other tours, where quick smartphone photos are often the norm, I am committed to providing a full, personalized photo experience. With 3 to 4 professional cameras, I’ll take dozens of high-quality photos and dynamic timelapse videos, capturing the best angles and moments of the night.
You’ll return home with high-resolution photos—perfect for printing and displaying—and timelapse video to relive the auroras in motion. Your social media will shine, too, as I’ll provide select images and videos optimized for Instagram reels and TikTok, so you can share your unforgettable experience.
This is more than just a tour; it’s an opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime while making a statement on your social media. The rate reflects the exclusivity of this session, along with the time dedicated to carefully editing and assembling your photos and videos. To make it even more special, all the digital files will be delivered to you the day after our session, ready to print or share.
Intimate Aurora Chasing Adventure
Unlike conventional tours, which often involve large groups and crowded spots, our tours focus on intimate experiences in small groups of no more than 5 people.
This approach ensures tranquility and allows for a deep, personal connection with the starry sky and the mesmerizing auroras. Silence is key to embracing the beauty of the Northern Lights, and our carefully chosen secluded locations, far from city lights and tourist crowds, offer the perfect setting for this peaceful contemplation.
Led by Cristiano, an experienced aurora chaser and photographer, the tour goes beyond a standard sightseeing experience. With years of expertise in interpreting space weather data, Cristiano tries to maximize your chances of seeing the aurora.
Photography is a central aspect of these tours, with professional-grade cameras used to capture stunning images of your experience. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or simply want incredible mementos, this adventure is tailored to deliver unforgettable visual memories.
Flexibility is at the heart of this experience. Unlike rigidly scheduled tours, there’s no fixed return time—guests decide when they want to head back. From the moment you’re picked up at your accommodation in Yellowknife, you’ll embark on a journey of discovery, driving away to find the best viewing spots.
This is not just a tour; it’s a personalized adventure designed to immerse you in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Northern Lights.
