Join Award winning photographers Jason Hahn and Les Voorhis for a “Weekend with Wolves”…
3 packs including nearly 2 dozen full blooded Wolves,
3 different subspecies of wolf in one unique location
2 Professional Nature Photography Instructors
1 Extraordinary Weekend!
This is a unique experience to photograph these incredible creatures on the largest wolf preserve in the Southeastern United States. The workshop weekend begins with an evening classroom session with Jason and Les, covering both nature photography fundamentals and advanced concepts, as well as wolf behavior and biology. Then each full day includes two photo sessions with the wolf packs, morning and afternoon. These are not photo sessions shooting through a fence into distant enclosures; rather you will be in with the wolf packs where you will be able to capture amazing photos of these beautiful animals. You will see the full range of pack interaction and behavior, and get to photograph a special pack feeding each morning. Jason and Les will be on hand providing instruction, tips, and techniques during your shooting and classroom sessions. In addition, each day will also include a photo session with other small animals at the preserve such as fox and skunk, and a midday open topic classroom session. The wolves will be in full winter coats at this time of year, we can expect them to be very active and even playful in the cooler temperatures at this time of year.
Photo Shoot Rules - The preserve staff will monitor the behavior of the wolves and tour group, any directions they provide for the tour participants are to be immediately followed.
The safety of the group and the wolves is our first and foremost concern. In the event that the preserve owners, Jason Hahn, or Les Voorhis observe anyone acting in a fashion that is detrimental to the safety of the group or the wolves, they will be removed from the workshop, no refunds will be provided in this event.
Price - $895 for the full "Weekend with Wolves" which includes an evening classroom session, four photography sessions with the wolves, an evening critique and review session (this was a huge hit with our last wworkshop!) and two small mammal photography sessions. Lunch and snacks will be available at no charge.
You can also opt for a half weekend workshop, for $525, which includes one evening session (choose Friday or Saturday arrival), 2 photography sessions with the wolves, and one small mammal photography session. Lunch and snacks will be available at no charge.
Price does not include lodging or transportation to and from the preserve, any gratuities for the preserve staff, or dinner on Friday and Saturday Nights. These are special discounted rates just for this workshop from the standard preserve photography fee.

From Nov 07 "Weekend with Wolves" participants:
"This experience allowed me to make a dream come true. I have always loved wolves and this workshop/tour at Seacrest allowed me to come in close contact with the most magnificent animals. I would recommend a visit here to everyone I know."
"You both did an excellent job with all the people. Your patience and assistance offered to all was outstanding. I was very pleased with the images I took away from Seacrest. It was a great opportunity."
"It was very apparent that quite a lot of thought, planning, and execution was put towards this photo opportunity. It showed because of the smoothness of events. Thank you for your hard efforts."
"Everyone is very friendly and welcoming...the atmosphere is totally relaxed. You'll take more photos then you think you will, so Be Prepared!"
From June 07 "Wolf Puppies" participants:
"Jason's Wolf Pup shoot at Seacrest Wolf Preserve was an absolute incredible experience. He and the owners, Wayne & Cynthia, went out of their way to accomodate our every need and desire. It is obvious that Jason put in a lot of preparatory work to ensure that our shoot would be a success. The chance to be right there with the wolves and their pup's was an experience I will never forget. I would recommend this for any photographer, amatuer to professional."
"Jason, This past Saturday (Wolf Pup Photo Shoot) has been one of the most enriching and rewarding experiences of my life. Not only was I able to walk among these wonderful animals, but I learned more than I ever expected. You, Cynthia, Wayne,(Seacrest Owners) and all the volunteers at Seacrest have done and are doing an amazing thing. Hopefully, I'll be able to attend your next workshop in November. Thanks to you and everyone else who helped make this possible."
