Grand Teton National Park Fall 2026 Wildlife and Nature Photography Workshop

Experience the enchantment of Grand Teton National Park through an exclusive fall wildlife, nature, and landscape photography workshop. Set in an intimate small group environment, this workshop ensures personalized instruction and a focused learning atmosphere where you can refine your skills and capture awe-inspiring moments in one of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in the U.S. Each day, we'll explore the park at dawn and dusk, when wildlife is most active and the soft, golden light of autumn bathes the landscape in its warm glow.

As fall sweeps across the park, the landscape transforms into a kaleidoscope of colors—vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows paint the trees and reflect off tranquil lakes. You’ll have the rare opportunity to photograph wildlife preparing for the colder months: bears preparing for hibernation, bull elk bugling in the misty mornings, moose roaming through the colorful meadows, and bison moving through fields. This is your chance to capture the majestic moments of nature’s transition, all while honing your photography technique in one of America’s most iconic wilderness areas.

With a small group size, you'll receive individualized feedback, plenty of time to refine your craft, and an unforgettable connection with nature as the park enters its fall glory. Whether you're perfecting your technique or capturing your first wildlife shot, this workshop offers the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories in the heart of autumn’s beauty.
