What everyone’s saying

“Right now, photography is just a hobby but I have big dreams of making it more than that someday. I received a private session with Steve as a Christmas gift and I have to say the experience far exceeded my expectations! Steve is a VT expert and not only catered to my photography interests and took us to the best places for beautiful photos, but I had just as much fun learning about the history of the places we visited. It’s a full day of hands-on experience and it left me feeling energized and excited to try out some of the new techniques I learned! Whether photography is just a hobby or you’re a professional looking for new scenery, Steve caters to your interests, experience and camera (even iPhones!) and you won’t be disappointed spending a day with him and Vermont Photo Tours. As a bonus, we were visiting from out of state and he had some excellent dining recommendations, too! We visited in the winter and can’t wait to see what beauty VT has to offer in the warmer weather. Steve will be hearing from us again!”

Liz Carpino

“If you want to see New England as you imagine, go to Vermont. More than any American state, Vermont has worked to preserve those qualities that make it unique, such as scenic countryside, lively small towns, historic streetscapes, and local businesses.”
