    Staci + Blair | Engagement Hike at Proxy Falls

    When a couple lives for adventure and have full-time jobs running their own business you find a way to combine a weekend camping trip with an engagement session. …and that’s exactly what we did! Staci + Blair run Best in the West Events – an endurance sports event management company (triathlons, etc) so their calendar is planned years in advance.

    You might recognize these two from previous weddings (guests) including Samara + Brett’s wedding where Staci was a bridesmaid, enthusiastically caught the bouquet, then the garter was straight up given to Blair. They have a big community of folks who are ready to see them tie the knot!

    We decided to meet in the McKenzie Pass and hike up to Proxy Falls. As usual Oregon waterfalls never disappoint.

    "I feel so lucky to have had Amanda there with us to document every major milestone in our relationship: engagement, wedding and now our very first pregnancy!

    She has become such an important part of our lives and made each event even more special with her photography and positive energy."

    - Erika + Matthew

    "Amanda has an amazing ability to capture the actual emotions of the experience on camera... All our guests fawned over our amazing and artistic photos, and I know the pictures will be excellent memories for years to come.

    More personally, Amanda is a super kind and generous person that clearly loves what she does."

    - Alison + Austin

    "I told [Amanda] I wanted some branding and lifestyle photos for my new website and social posts and she more than delivered!

    Seriously. I refer Amanda to anyone who wants to feel good about themselves, their business, their products, their event, whatever."

    - Kasey Yanna | Freedom Feels Communications

    "With Amanda, not only do you get a rockstar photographer, you get an experienced professional who understands the emotion and lifelong importance of every moment of a wedding. We received tons and tons of unsolicited positive feedback from our closest family and friends about Amanda. She was a constant source of support and positivity throughout the weekend."

    - Danielle + Matt

    "[Amanda] excels at: attention to detail & understanding the story of each client and shoot, kind and direct communication, and articulating clear instructions to whomever is being photographed.

    [...] she has a special ability to help bring out the best in you and give you photos where you shine!"
