What makes an experience with Beaufort Photography Tours
different from the other tours?
Unlike walking tours, this adventure is not only getting you to the hidden gems around Beaufort, but we operate on your pace. We never rush you or hurry you along. Take all the time you need at each location to get the best shot, and our guides are always available to answer any questions you might have. We'll pick you up from your hotel or rental and whisk you away to your adventure! Don't miss this complete Beaufort experience!
The price says "1 Non-Shooting Guest Included".
Does this mean the price listed includes me + 1?
You betcha! The prices for all tours includes a spouse, friend or family member without a camera and will receive no instruction. But, make sure they bring their cell phone along! They deserve to experience these beautiful locations with you!
Are the Full-Day Tours all day long?
Because the light provided during the middle of the day is just too harsh for shooting, we have broken our Full Day Tours into two sections. If you have chosen one of these packages, we will pick you up from your hotel or rental well before sunrise and return you after your time of shooting in the morning. This will give you time to recharge, both yourself and your batteries, for the evening and spend some time with the family, if they have traveled with you. We will then pick you up late afternoon, for the sunset session, and return you after our time shooting into the late evening.
What is the average group size?
All semi-private tours have a maximum capacity of 4 guests. A private experience allows for a group size of 4 or less. If you've chosen to experience private instruction, then the maximum capicaty is you plus one friend or family member.
What if I have no experience with Photography?
That's ok! Each experience with Beaufort Photography Tours is designed with everyone in mind. The novice, amateur and most experienced will all walk away with exceptional imagery.
Do I have to own a DSLR or Mirrorless camera to go on tour with you?
Heck no! With today's technology, if you bring nothing but your phone, we will still experience many unique compositions resulting in amazing images.
I know in order to shoot a sharp landscape image or
moving water, I should use a tripod. What if I don't own one?
That's ok! We have many tripods, specifically for our guest to use.
I don't have a cable release cord or a remote. Is that ok?
Yes! If available, you can just use the self timer built into your camera.
Is weather considered?
Always! It is part of our job to make sure you are provided the best possible conditions for capturing that award winning image. Weather is always watched closely.
What happens if my tour gets rained out?
We are super easy to work with and will be happy to offer a FULL refund in the event your session is hindered by the inclement weather. If you have a little wiggle room within your itinerary, we can also move your scheduled tour to a different date. It's completely up to you!
Do you keep track of the tides for my desired date?
Yes. We watch the local tide chart for our area every day. If your tour or workshop takes us near the water, the level of the current tide is considered when making suggestions.
Are there restrooms along the way?
Yes! All locations have coveniences within a short drive.
