Noon - Meetup near Leavenworth, Wa.
Explore and chase conditions or editing session. I'll recommend what we do but it's very flexible based on what you'd like us to focus on.
Sunset adventure - We will start shooting a few hours before sunset to get some golden light on the changing foliage.
Next morning - Sunrise Shoot at one of the lakes in the area.
*** If you choose a multi day you will not only get a discount on the following days but also more opportunities to capture different conditions. I always advise for multi days (if possible) as we can't control the weather and you increase your chances in capturing more magical conditions. We also can spend substantial more time exploring and editing your photos together.
*We will be chasing conditions and constantly monitoring the weather. The itinerary may change based on what conditions are during the workshop.
